“…For instance, Beeson, DeJong, and Troesken (2001) study the long-run patterns of population among the US counties using the initial levels of population, population density, gross domestic product, and human capital, generating a model similar to those of conditional convergence. Also for the United States and using the same spatial unit of analysis, Cebula (2002) studies the determinants of local population growth extending the number of factors, finding that factors such as public expenditure on education, housing-price inflation, personal income, and the quality of life are relevant. In the completely different scenario of China, Zhang and Song (2003) detect a link between local population evolution and the massive rural–urban migration, the income gap between both settings and their geographical distance.…”

Formal modeling of local population growth has usually tended to focus on identifying patterns that are presumed to hold universally. However, as Glaeser, Ponzetto, and Tobio highlighted, these laws are reliable for long-term dynamics; but in some moments or for some places, the balance between the different factors may change, giving rise to different specific behaviors. In this article, we study local population growth in Spain with no intention of searching for universal patterns. Rather, we are interested in identifying how relevant the temporal and spatial heterogeneity may be, that is, to assess the even and uneven effects that population growth determinants can exert across time and space. The geographically weighted regression (GWR) approach applied in this article for two different decades, 1991–2001 and 2001–2011, captures the spatial heterogeneity. Results on the spatially differentiated population growth factors are compared with the global ordinary least squares (OLS) estimators for both decades. Essential factors in urban and regional economics such as size (initial population) or distance (either to the big cities or to the coast) can have different effects on population growth across both space and time, corresponding to the global estimated effects for some areas but diverging from these in others. Using GWR estimation procedures, we can identify changes in the sign or in the intensity of a factor’s effect across space, such that some factors could enhance population growth in one place but reduce it in another. Only after all spatially differentiated local effects have been analyzed and taken into consideration can appropriate national or regional policies be designed à la carte to promote, retain, or deter population growth.

The first set of variables to consider in the group of socioeconomic state variables are all related to the labour opportunities and the economic structure in the area.…”

Determinants of immigrants' concentration at local level in Spain: Why size and position still matter

Population Space and Place

In the 2000s, and with natural population growth rates close to zero, Spain experienced an inflow of almost 5 million immigrants. These new Spanish residents did not tend to locate evenly across the territory and contributed to putting pressure on the already large spatial population imbalances between cities and rural areas, between the coast and the interior and between the central and peripheral areas. Covering the whole Spanish territory and using the 804 Spanish local labour markets as units of analysis, the objective of this paper is to analyse the local determinants of the attractiveness of a place for immigrants. The estimation of geographically weighted regressions (GWR) shows the necessity of including spatial heterogeneity in the analysis, as the effect of the traditional factors explaining immigrant concentration processes—such as job‐related characteristics or the networks established by previous immigrants—exert different and even contrary effects across the Spanish territory. Although global estimations would reject the significance of agglomeration economies or the relative location of a place, the adoption of the GWR approach shows that these regional economic factors are key to understanding the geographical concentration of immigrants in Spain but show different—even contrary—responses across space. Spatial heterogeneity supports the idea that any national/regional policy to enhance (or contain) immigrant concentration should be designed a la carte and be implemented at the local level.

In essence, the city is not able to satisfy the needs of its target residents, the taxpaying middle and upper class (Cebula, 2002;Cebula & Nair-Reichert, 2012;Rhode & Strumpf, 2003).…”

Right-Sizing Cities in the United States: Defining Its Strategies

This article explores the right‐sizing paradigm. Currently, in the growing literature on the right‐sizing conception of planning there are not any clearly delineated strategies on what it means to right‐size. Right‐sizing strategies are clearly articulated in this article in an effort to understand this paradigm in a more comprehensive fashion. This is not being done among scholars in this field and is necessary to determine empirically if these strategies improve the quality of life in shrinking cities. The purpose of this article is to provide a source for researchers attempting to assess the various right‐sizing efforts across the United States. The strategies in this article are not final; additional strategies could be included later under the right‐sizing planning conception. At this stage in the literature, five major built environment strategies are the most cited: land banking, rehabilitation, demolition, consolidation, and “greening.”
