"Challenging climate change: economic effects of regions interaction from an “atmosfear” perspective"
In recent years, the effects of climate change have become a topic of growing interest in the literature. Despite that, a more focused study on its spatial economic and structural characteristics is necessary, to shed light on the responsibilities of the different countries about the climate change. This paper analyses the spatial economic causes for the global areas in the world during a period of 15 years. Based on an environmentally extended interregional input-output model, we estimate the carbon dioxide emissions embodied in international trade. In the second part, and taking into account the previous analysis, we measure the spatial effects of the different countries among them, carrying out a spatial econometric analysis to find the most suitable spatial model for our analysis. Besides, as a contrast with traditional contiguity and distances weigh matrices, in this paper we create a weight matrix based on the atmospheric movements of wind. The results offer a different and new approach on this field, highlighting the importance of the spillovers of the closest neighbors to explain the CO 2 emissions of the local country.

"The valuation of creativity and the index of Brazilian creative cities: what is their relationship with economic development?"
This thesis project focuses on themes related to economic and creativity debate and proposes addresses the relationship between creativity and the universe of urban and regional economy from three essays. The first one presents as the main objective understanding the origin of creativity valorization, bringing the concepts that are linked with it, identifying how creativity interacts with urban and regional economy. The second essay presents the concept of creative cities, identifying the main initiatives to develop creative cities in the world, to thereby build a Brazilian creative city index. Finally, the last essay, intends to analyse the relation between the presence of talent, tolerance and technology in the creative cities and the level of economic development.
RSPP Call for Papers | Special Issue on Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Territorial Inequalities Policies
Special Issue Theme:
“Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Territorial Inequalities Policies”
RSPP-EUREAL initiative coordinated by Ana Vinuela This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The objective of the RSPP Special Issue is to publish scientific work on the design, implementation and evaluation on integrative policy mechanisms to enable supranational, national and regional government agencies to address territorial inequalities and to imagine future spaces in which the allocation of resources is consistent with principles of social and spatial justice.
Topics are:
- The measurement and understanding of spatial (in)justice and territorial inequalities at national, regional or local level.
- The impact of the economic crisis, the austerity policies or the Covid-19 on territorial inequalities, especially in relation to the different models of territorial governance, sustainable economic development and public service delivery.
- Perceptions of spatial (in)justice vs quantifiable territorial inequalities
- Framing and justification of territorial autonomy movements and their levels of support in relation to the real or perceived spatial (in)justice.
- Efficacy and appropriateness of current territorial policies and instruments for addressing the challenges of territorial inequalities and spatial justice.
The RSPP Special Issue will combine qualitative and quantitative research papers and methods at multiple scales of enquiry.

RSAI Executive Director
Call for RSAI Programs 2021 (DEADLINE October 10, 2020)
Nurturing new talent 2021
The RSAI aims to continue promoting the development of Regional Science by nurturing new talent in 2021. The council has therefore pledged resources to co-finance workshops and summer institutes intended to provide substantive training to pre-doctoral researchers, including the presentation of their work and receiving feedback from senior scholars and their peers. It is expected that the selected workshops and institutes will have considerable international geographical coverage.
Organizers of workshops and summer schools fulfilling the above aims are encouraged to submit a two-page case for support, using the included template, within October 10, 2020 to the RSAI secretariat (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). Individuals are encouraged to consult with their national and supranational sections to allow better coordination among different initiatives.
All applications will be reviewed by the Committee and will have to be formally approved by the RSAI Council. Their decision will be final.
Building bridges in regional science
2021 conference participation support
The RSAI facilitates the participation of researchers from low-income and lower-middle-income economies (as defined by the World Bank: https://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups#Low_income) at the five largest Regional Science Conferences in 2021: LARSA, PRSCO, ERSA, NARSC, and the World Congress.
RSAI will provide a subsidy up to USD 500 (or the equivalent in other currencies) to selected researchers. This is likely to cover the conference registration fee and some local travel costs. Alternative means of financing will have to be sought for international travel and accommodation.
Only one author of a submitted paper presentation proposal can apply for a subsidy.
Interested researchers should upload a two-page CV plus a one-page motivation –including a budget with proposed sources of funding of the conference-related registration, travel and accommodation costs – within 30 days of receiving confirmation of the acceptance of the researcher’s abstract by the conference organizers.
Applicants should have had a paper accepted for presentation at the conference.
All applications, to be submitted at the following link:
https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/4Qb1O9ro1K0LuWIeG
will be reviewed by the Committee and will have to be formally approved by the RSAI Council. Their decision will be final.
