“…The urban transportation network, in affecting the urban land use spatial form, land use intensity, land use structure, and land price, has promoted the evolution of the urban spatial pattern [53][54][55]. Land fragmentation caused by the road traffic (traffic on the road) network has shown a significant spatial correlation with the urban land use spatial form [56].…”

The implementation of the Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei coordinated development strategy has seriously increased the influence of land use and urban traffic. Thus, understanding the coordination between urban land and transportation systems is important for the efficient and sustainable development of cities, especially in this rapidly urbanizing era. Urban–industrial land and highway networks are, respectively, primary types of urban land and transportation systems, and have significant impacts on social and economic development. However, limited studies have been conducted to examine the relationships between urban–industrial land and highway networks. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the coupling coordination relationship between urban–industrial land use efficiency, and the accessibility of the highway networks of cities. Specifically, in the context of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration, the coupling coordination between urban-industrial land use efficiency and accessibility of the highway traffic network was empirically analyzed. The results show that: (i) The differences in urban-industrial land use efficiency in the BTH region are significant. Capital cities in the BTH urban agglomeration have higher economic, social, and comprehensive efficiency, while in industrial cities, the use of urban–industrial land should prioritize ecological and environmental issues. (ii) Because of its good geographical location Beijing has the best accessibility, with an accessibility index of 1.416, while Qinhuangdao had the lowest accessibility index of 0.039. (iii) In most BTH cities, the urban-industrial comprehensive land use level has fallen behind the highway network development level. The results of this study can provide references for the coordinated development of the BTH urban agglomeration.

“…Accounting for potential endogeneity in relationships involving the transport infrastructure is of great importance, as shown by Martincus et al (2014). The other possible strategy is the instrumentation by the initial endowment of infrastructure, which is difficult for obvious reasons (Rokicki and Stępniak 2018).…”

“…The pattern of impact on the present location of FOEs and DOEs is complexdepending on the type of infrastructure and the specific features of the partition (it could be related to an initial endowment in different types of infrastructure, but could also reflect the difference in geographical conditions or governance quality). Rokicki and Stępniak (2018) identified discrepancies in the impact of major transportation investment projects on different measures of regional development between the rural and urban areas of Poland. In our case, we account for these, by introducing the metropolitan dummy showing an advantage in the extensive trade margin of urbanised areas.…”

Determinants of the spatial distribution of exporters in regions: the role of ownership

2019

Spatial distribution of exporters only recently has attracted the attention of researchers, while the location of economic activity as such has been subject of profound analysis for a long time. Regions have become more open and thus vulnerable to external shocks. Nevertheless, the increase in the number of exporters in the population of firms is one of the top priorities of regions' economic policy agenda, as it improves competitiveness and overall productivity. Literature overview shows an important gap, which is insufficient consideration of the role of ownership, as regards the determinants of the spatial distribution of exporters. The study identifies the differences between the determinants of spatial location of foreign-owned exporters (FOEs) and domestic-owned exporters (DOEs), in particular the role of metropolis, the proximity to infrastructure and the consequences of historical factors and thus the path dependency. The FOEs and DOEs differ in their location preferences. In particular, our results indicate that FOEs pay more attention to proximity to infrastructure and are more susceptible to the presence of agglomeration externalities in the vicinity of metropolitan areas. In addition, historical factors affect the spatial distribution of exporters, especially if the interaction of path dependency and infrastructure endowment is introduced.

“…There is a longstanding recognition that investments in public infrastructure can help to stimulate economic growth (Farhadi, 2015;Holmgren & Markel, 2017) with improvements to accessibility, connectivity and capacity providing prospects for productivity improvements (Rokicki & Stępniak, 2018). Better road infrastructure can bring direct time and cost savings for workers and businesses (Linneker & Spence, 1996), as well as creating direct and indirect employment opportunities, sparking new investment, opening up national and international trading opportunities and strengthening supply chains.…”
