“…Our finding that agglomeration measures have similar impacts on firm entry in rural counties adjacent to or remote from a metropolitan area may seem surprising in 25 Recent studies by Rickman and Rickman (2011) and Rickman and Guettabi (2015) document a decline in the role of amenity attractiveness in explaining nonmetropolitan population and employment growth. 26 The proportional change in new firm entry probability for local monopoly is calculated for each observation and averaged across all observations.…”

ABSTRACT. We test whether commonly used measures of agglomeration economies encourage new firm entry in both urban and rural markets. Using new firm location decisions in Iowa and North Carolina, we find that measured agglomeration economies increase the probability of new firm entry in both urban and rural areas. Firms are more likely to locate in markets with an existing cluster of firms in the same industry, with greater concentrations of upstream suppliers or downstream customers, and with a larger proportion of college-educated workers in the local labor supply. Firms are less likely to enter markets with no incumbent firms in the sector or where production is concentrated in relatively few sectors. The same factors encourage both stand-alone start-ups and establishments built by multiplant firms. Commuting decisions exhibit the same pattern as new firm entry with workers commuting from low to high agglomeration markets. Because agglomeration economies are important for rural firm entry also, policies encouraging new firm entry should focus on relatively few job centers rather than encouraging new firm entry in every small town.

“…Foreign investment no longer has the strong presence in the second home housing market than it did before 2005. In fact, current, limited analysis of impacts on high amenity places of the recent recession and continuing financial uncertainty indicates that in-migration is decreasing, but perhaps especially in the western states and provinces of the USA and Canada (Gude et al 2012;Headwaters Economics 2010;Rickman and Rickman 2011). At the same time, there is an increasing choice of attractive lower cost destinations for second home and more permanent amenity seekers, particularly in Latin America (Otero and Gonzalez 2012;Pera 2008).…”

This article evaluates and describes the presence, extent and locational impact of residential second home ownership in the Canadian Rocky Mountain town of Canmore, Alberta in response to planning needs and requirements. This research includes the results of two studies that provide a temporal view of second home retirement owners and amenity attributes through the use of social survey data, multivariate analysis and geographic information system (GIS) visualization. One assumption of second home research focuses on retirement migration towards permanent residency in many amenable environments. The Canmore example illustrates problems with such an assumption and shows that international retirement markets can differ from domestic ones with subsequent differences in ownership patterns, leisure and local participation behaviours, and planning needs. Revealed are landscape attributes and sociocultural amenities important to second homeowners and the larger community. The research outcomes add understanding about international second homeowners in a small Canadian town and how group differences or similarities may translate for future second home retirement plans within this Rocky Mountain gateway to Banff National Park.

“…It appears that the factors that affect college graduate birth-state out-migration do so at a relatively early age and are quite persistent, increasing the importance of better understanding the location decisions of young recent college graduates. Obviously, California and Texas both have large populations with relatively warm winters, while Alaska and Wyoming are sparsely populated with cold winters, and these outmigration rates could reflect broader long-term trends in migration towards areas with better amenities (Rappaport 2007;Partridge 2010;Rickman and Rickman 2011). However, the determinants of birth-state out-migration rates are still less than fully understood.…”

ABSTRACT Do Earnings by College Major Affect Graduate Migration?College graduates are considerably more mobile than non-graduates, and previous literature suggests that the difference is at least partially attributable to college graduates being more responsive to employment opportunities in other areas. However, there exist considerable differences in migration rates by college major that have gone largely unexplained. This paper uses microdata from the American Community Survey to examine how the migration decisions of young college graduates are affected by earnings in their college major. Results indicate that higher major-specific earnings in an individual's state of birth reduce outmigration suggesting that college graduates are attracted toward areas that especially reward the specific type of human capital that they possess.JEL Classification: J24, J61, R23
