ABOUT THE COURSE

This is a 4-day introductory training course on spatial data analysis using spatial econometrics, covering data mapping and spatial econometric modelling.  Following each lecture, there will be laboratory sessions on the application of the models using R and Stata. After the training, the participants are expected to acquire knowledge and skills to conduct analysis of spatial data using R and Stata. This course is co-sponsored by the Regional Science Association International under its Nurturing Talent Programme, endorsed by the Philippine Economic Society.

This special issue will feature research that sheds light on the intersection between housing markets and household or population mobility, two topics that are intrinsically linked. For example, the decision of whether and where to move is heavily influenced by housing market conditions—the levels of rents and house prices, the availability of the desired type and location of housing, and even the cost and availability of mortgage credit. At the same time, conditions in rental and housing markets are affected by the magnitudes of migrant flows into and out of the market.

Understanding the connection between migration and housing is critical for both theoretical and practical reasons. For theory, housing markets are a critical element of models of location choice, which is the core of spatial economics. On the practical side, decisions regarding geographic location and housing consumption and investment have large implications for household welfare, and therefore are relevant for policymakers. Thus, researchers and policymakers are devoting growing attention to trends in migration rates, household formation, homeownership, and housing affordability—and especially to the connections between these trends. Recent research has also highlighted how housing markets and migration choices affect local labor market growth, decline, and inequality; the convergence (or lack thereof) of economic fortunes across space; the transmission of economic shocks across geographies; and the stability of the financial system.

We welcome research on any topic that addresses the important connections between housing and migration in some way. We especially welcome empirical research that makes use of new and innovative data sources, as well as theoretical research that uses cutting-edge methods. While we expect many of the submissions to use recent data, we are open to historical analyses, especially ones that shed light on contemporary discussions and debates. We are open to analysis of more and less developed economies.

Papers must be of sufficient analytical rigor to meet the customary standards of the journal. Timeliness is very important, as the editors and the journal seek to limit delays between the acceptance of manuscripts and eventual publication. Submissions should be made before January 15th, 2020 to http://ees.elsevier.com/jhec/. Early submissions will be considered promptly.

Special editors are Kyle Mangum (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and Raven Molloy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).

Dear Colleague,

Over the weekend of June 15th and 16th, Wiley Online Library will undergo a major but routine platform upgrade to ensure continued high levels of security and performance, and enable us to provide the very latest technology and functionality for all our partners and users. We know that you appreciate hearing about developments like this in advance.

The upgrade is scheduled to take place from Saturday June 15th to Sunday June 16th. During this time, Wiley Online Library will remain fully available for users. Content will be fully discoverable by search engines, and readers and researchers will be able to search, find, and read content as usual. For the limited period of the upgrade Wiley Online Library will not be updated with new content, and users with accounts will not be able to update their details (for example, to change preferences for contents alerts).

If you have any questions, please contact your Journal Manager.

Best regards,
Wiley Online Library Product Team

Dear WRSA Members and Friends,

It's already time to start planning for the next WRSA Annual Meeting--our 59th! 

The 59th Annual Meeting of the WRSA will be held jointly with the 26th Pacific Conference (PRSCO) of the RSAI in Waikiki, Hawaii.

Our joint meeting will be held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, Hawaii, March 18-21. The meeting will open on Wednesday, March 18, with our traditional plenary and welcoming reception. Three full days of sessions follow. See the website or attached Call for Papers for additional meeting information. 

To submit a paper for program consideration or to register for the meeting, go to www.wrsaonline.org and use the "Login/Register" link to access/create your account and upload your paper and pay your meeting fees. Reminder: You no longer email me your paper and NARSC no longer handles our payments!

The Spring/Summer 2019 Newsletter is also attached and contains everything you'll need to start planning for Hawaii. For those wanting the information now, here are the key details:

Paper Submission: Papers should be uploaded to the WRSA website by November 15, although as in past years the "deadline" will be extended until mid-December. Full papers (draft format acceptable) for WRSA participants as well as short abstracts for PRSCO participants will be accepted for this year's joint conference. Program review committee will review and invitations will be sent to the accepted papers of abstracts. Draft papers are sufficient for the November deadline, so long as we have a complete version in hand by the end of January 2020.

Hotel Reservations: Our negotiated room rate at the Hilton is $229/night (plus taxes). Full details and a reservation link are posted on our website (link here). The “OPTIONAL” resort charge of $20 per night will include basic guest internet access (up to 2 devices), Hawaiian cultural activities, and outdoor morning exercise classes. The hotel has agreed to honor our special room rate three days prior to and following our meeting (Mar 18th through Mar 21st), based on availability. Guest parking is available with the extra charges. Please note: after February 21, 2020, the hotel will no longer honor our special room rate! Be sure to book early!

Tiebout Prize: Advisors and PhD students alike are reminded that November 15 is the hard deadline for submissions for the 34th Annual Tiebout Prize in Regional Science. See attached flyer or the WRSA website for full details. Papers co-authored with faculty advisors are acceptable, however the primary author must meet the Tiebout student requirements and the bulk of the substantive work and contribution of the paper must have come from the student. REQUIRED: Submitted pdfs of the paper must include a letter from the faculty advisor confirming that these requirements have been met.

Student Conference Assistants: WRSA is seeking several students to assist with meeting registration in Pasadena. In exchange for 8-10 hours of volunteering at the registration desk, students will receive a complete rebate of their preregistration fees (worth $150, to be processed as a refund following the meeting) and potentailly discounted staff rooms at the conference hotel. Contact me via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you're interested.

Session Chairs and Paper Discussants: Planning to come to Hawaii and won’t be presenting a paper? We are always VERY happy to assign you session chair or paper discussant duties, if you’re willing. Just drop us an email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to let us know your preferences and availability constraints.

Please feel free to contact me (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) with any questions. 

And please do circulate/post the attached Call for Papers! 

Let your colleagues know what a great meeting WRSA is...The Way Academic Life Should Be...

All the best,
