Call for Papers: Spatial Economic Analysis special issue on Spatial Macroeconomics

In macroeconomics, the spatial dimension has usually been overlooked. This abstraction implicitly treats regions within countries and other spatial units as homogeneous and ignores spatial mechanisms between and within regions. In this special issue, we seek contributions that show how regional economics, economic geography and spatial econometrics can talk to macroeconomics.

As such, we gather empirical and methodological contributions that analyze how location choices by firms and households affect the spatial distribution of macroeconomic activity (GDP, employment, consumption, inflation, etc). We also seek papers that model and estimate spatial macroeconomic environments with a potentially large number of heterogeneous locations, that analyze the spatial diffusion of macroeconomic shocks and that analyze empirically the macroeconomic effects of networks in production, consumption, and alike. This agenda is likely to become a leading research area that is of interest both to scholars and policy-makers.

Southeast Asian Frontiers Workshop Series #1 HIGHLANDS, Virtual + On-site, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, August 18-20, 2022

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Southeast Asian Frontiers Workshop Series #1

HIGHLANDS

Virtual + On-site

Yogyakarta, Indonesia, August 18 – 20, 2022

Frontier is an asymmetric socio-spatial designation imposed by centralized power over marginal places. It carries overlapping meanings and functions: an ever-expanding space sustaining capitalist expansion, the limit of state power and capitalist reach, and an imagined wild and empty space that invites settlers’ imagination of conquest and reward. An imposition of a frontier category over highlands’ nature and people often entails the (re-)ordering of marginal political-economic conditions, sociocultural lives, environment, and human-nature relationships. Various experimentations are embedded in this (re-)ordering, including economic exploitation, technocracy, territory, science, and technology. The SEAF Workshop Series #1 aims at discussing the initiations, processes, and impacts of frontierization of Southeast Asian highlands’ nature and people.

The themes including but not limited to the following:

Highlands and development
Highlands and religious change
Natural hazards and social resilience in highlands
Highlands and tourism
Conservation and environmentalism in highlands
Scientific explorations in highlands
Political economic change in highlands
Urbanization/Industrialization of highlands
Women, resources, and social organization in highlands
Conflicts on highlands
Highlanders’ knowledge and cultural production
The politics of representation of highlands and highlanders

ERSA Summer School 2022
Circular economy & green growth: challenges for urban, regional and entrepreneurial ecosystems
13 – 17 June 2022, EM Normandy Business School, Caen, France

1st announcement

The European Regional Science Association, in collaboration with ERSA French Speaking Section (ASRDLF) and the EM Normandie Business School, is pleased to announce that the 35th ERSA Summer School will be held at the EM Normandy Business School, Caen, France, from June 13-17, 2022.

This summer school dedicated to the circular economy and green growth will allow to put forward and question reading grids and analytical methods in regional science through high-level conferences, thematic workshops, master class and field experience.

Target and Selection of participants

The ERSA Summer Schools targets Ph.D. students, postdocs and junior researchers with less than 5 years of research experience. The Summer School intends to bring together smart regional science academics from across Europe and the World. The number of participants is limited to approx. 25 participants. Attention will be paid to gender, age and regional balance when selecting the participants.

More info about the event and the Call for applications will be posted in due time.
