Call for Papers | Special session(s) on Climate Change | North American Meetings of RSAI, Vancouver, November 8-11, 2017
Growing concerns about climate change and the frequency/intensity of its associated extreme events have led to a burgeoning literature on the measurement of their economic impacts. Yet, the large majority of such studies ignores or treats poorly the presence of interregional dependence, intersectoral linkages and spatial heterogeneity Regional Scientists are used to deal with.
As such, the Climate Change Impact sessions aim at bringing together NARSC participants interested in measurements of the economic impact of climate change from a Regional Science perspective. Both theoretical and applied papers will be presented in these special sessions.
Examples of topics of interest include:
- Regional mitigation and/or adaptation
- Climate change impacts on crop yields or farmland values
- Climate change impacts on agricultural trade
- Food-water nexus at the regional level
- Regional actions in the absence of federal government intervention
- The environment as a location factor
- Climate change and regional cooperation
If you are interested to contribute with a presentation, please follow the usual abstract submission procedure at http://secure-web.cisco.com/1m9Vux4WA8iCYx6EHsCJaeyz9-pwYNiSpsOCxq76Dy18VdsAtt_oDhJ3p2KAHwr-5zBEmuy5ybuAdQvvr7ORuA6tUhV1RXu5cMSBVihdLFyP2iEjcuSsy57ulmc9QmA_lrVKcarlNSLH8icebjDQ4e0ywMs6EG8hsuAtoGceqmh9aztioLPoiajQewRxD97V8lct3JAJRbeWizdO1dRcpvb4cKqftsKPlQIAJ01hTn3_gTBNMZnsOvu1-_Hxm6k48L3hCxS5NbBpxsOVRWDd5TJmveJbd0aw2Z_3Ic1KTFQU3mZLXBcdyYewgkY7KWBQhCmLUy_FC8GSpOTMn3Sa9HJLyl9kUJ4jYrHI_bedzKZ4mtV5j0O4tAaeJlRM7MGV2AVNIra5eJwrCM7GY-NEQ6A/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.narsc.org%2Fnewsite%2Fconference%2Fonline-abstractsession-submission%2F and then send the ID of the submitted paper to: This email address is being protected from spambots.

RSPP Annual Paper Award
RSPP Annual Paper Award
For the Best Paper in Regional Science Policy and Practice
Winners 2024
Focusing on Chengdu Region in China the paper uses mobile phone data to understand rural mobility and the social and orographic factors that influence it. The look into human mobility in remote rural areas, the innovative use of big data and the clear methodological approach allow robust new evidence on rural mobility and justify adequate policy advises. AND
The paper estimates the relation between wages and unemployment considering spatial interaction. Results show the existence of diverse labor markets and concludes that policy makers should be aware of measures to protect formal jobs that, at local level, can increase the wage with informal workers. It is clearly a very good paper able to generate a new common sense on the functioning of labor markets when space is considered. |
Winners 2023
The paper tries to find the effect of geographical features in transport accessibility for white and black in Salvador (Brazil), estimates and index of accessibility and applies a two-stage least square regression relating it to history using the proxy of geography (valleys), to density and to race. Conclusions indicate the trade-offs density and accessibility while indicating the effect of transport policies in the social profile or the urban structure. It is an important topic of human interaction within space, analysed with replicable methods and creative generation of data, leading to interesting policy awareness. The paper has a very nice background information on Salvador, focus an interesting topic with a well-executed analysis that includes physical geographic variables and using transport mode-choice issue which is important in Latin America. AND
This paper analyzes regional inflation dynamics in Indonesia and, estimation a spatio-econometric model, finds the transmission of price changes from regions to regions. Results are very interesting for an archipelago but also can be very useful for large monetary areas. A study that is ahead and leads to way to study the interaction between regional and monetary policies. It is an innovative space-time analysis. The adjustment to the Indonesian archipelago spatial context makes of an interesting application with the results for different components of inflation of general interest. |
Winners 2022
The paper aims to analyze the impact of depopulation, the context and the party programs on election results in the Netherlands. It is a very interesting and robust paper with a promising impact on methodology, public participation, policymaking and regional development. AND
The paper examines the role of the proximity between university and the industry to explain innovation in Brazil. It is a very interesting paper links cognitive proximity with innovation in a developing country. |
Winners 2021
"Very thorough study using state-of-art regional science methodology to study effects of the Bolsa Familia programme in Brazil, showing an Interesting and pedagogical method to analyse the regional redistribution of income with very good data and important results for policy makers. Spatial and social redistribution of public money is an important topic and a good exemplar of a RSPP article." AND
"The paper focus a cutting-edge topic using a fine-grained neighbourhood modelling leading to interesting empirical findings s as well as specific and focused policy recommendations tied to the study results. It is a very relevant demonstration that it is possible and advisable to get scientific evidences from emergent phenomena that can be useful for policy makers." |
Winners 2020
"Interesting paper for showing structural differences between large- and small-scale productions, with an informative characterization and a clear presentation of integrated methods that allow the analysis of a local and global issue (deforestation) also looking into rural innovation. Somewhat descriptive and eclectic, but uses interview data and interesting methodology to examine spatial linkages and proximity effects using empirically testable models out of qualitative fieldwork. The principles clearly articulated in the paper can be applied in numerous different contexts across many countries and regions and will be of real interest to wide range of regional scientists tackling policy-relevant challenges in contexts where there is a paucity of secondary data. It is an enlightening Policy & Practice entry-level paper for a bright student to get his/her feet wet with this general topic." |
Winners 2019
AND
|
Winners 2018
"The paper is a nice and complete package. An accepted methodology thoughtfully applied to a national economy to review shifts in sectoral or regional shares. It is an enlightening Policy & Practice entry-level paper for a bright student to get his/her feet wet with this general topic." |
