“…High housing prices can dampen in-migration by increasing the cost associated with a move. For instance, Rickman and Wang (2020) show that high housing prices have reduced recent in-migration in recent years in western high amenities counties. Still, relationships between housing prices and migration are complicated by their simultaneous and interdependent relationship (Jeanty et al 2010).…”

For decades, Americans have generally been moving away from the Northeast and the Midwest toward the South and West. Mountainous and desert areas in the West and Southwest have been especially popular internal migration destinations. However, these same areas are particularly susceptible to the increasing impacts of climate change on extreme heat and wildfire. This paper investigates relationships between disasterlevel fire events and extreme heat on county-level migration in the USA using annual panel data for the years 1990-2015. Are wildfire and extreme heat associated with changes in migration patterns? And, are relationships between such "disamenities" and migration stronger in counties with closer ties to environmental amenities? Fixed effects and random effects regression analysis show that both experiencing a disasterlevel wildfire and extreme heat in the prior year were associated with reduced migration. Relationships are stronger in counties rich in natural amenities and outdoor recreation, suggesting that in places known for their environmental amenities, shifts toward environmental disamenities may be particularly impactful.

“…Por ejemplo, las personas que se trasladen a la WUI para estar más cerca de los servicios medioambientales experimentarán un mayor riesgo de incendios forestales y, en algunos casos, de deslizamientos de tierra (Figura 27.11). Además, las comunidades que reciben una afluencia de inmigrantes por motivos de recreación se enfrentan a desafíos adicionales, especialmente las rurales y las de bajos ingresos, en las que los residentes fijos aportan la mano de obra, pero a los que el aumento del costo de la vivienda y otras necesidades puede echarlos de casa 396,397 . La interacción de las tensiones entre los impactos socioeconómicos y de desarrollo asociados a la migración y al cambio climático afectará las comunidades de las áreas de altos servicios del Noroeste, como las comunidades de esquí de la Cordillera Cascade o las comunidades insulares de las Islas San Juan 398 .…”

“…Studies have found that the bottleneck restricting the development of resource-based cities is mainly due to weak economic foundations, the fixed development model, and policy orientation. To realize the sustainable development of resource-based industries, the economic level, industrial structure, resource endowments, energy prices, and government intervention should be considered in all aspects [31][32][33][34][35]. At the same time, the correlation measurement between industrial sectors helps to measure the degree of economic integration, so as to further discover the interrelationships between different economic and social factors [36,37].…”

Research on Industry Development Path Planning of Resource-Rich Regions in China from the Perspective of “Resources, Assets, Capital”

et al. 2021

The development of industries in China’s resource-rich regions is mainly affected by resource reserves, environmental protection, and industrial structural adjustment. The development of resource-oriented industries that can’t support a high-quality regional economy is large but not well developed. This article considers China’s resource product imports and exports, carbon emissions, and industrial structure ratio factors in recent years. It is believed that China’s resource-rich regions have macro-level development bottlenecks, and the general development of a resource-based industries path is proposed based on the perspective of “resources, assets, and capital”. Taking Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as an empirical case, this article analyzes the pattern of regional industrial development by using the input-output method, calculates the degree of inter-industrial correlation, and constructs a regional industrial development system. The results show the following: 1. China’s overall industrial development pattern has undergone major changes; 2. emerging industries and service-oriented industries have risen in development status, and although resource-based industries have a weaker development momentum, they still have an important position; 3. the hierarchical industry development management model is helpful for forming a regional circular economy innovation development pattern. The results also indicate that the integrated management of “resources, assets, and capital” has a positive effect on the development of resource-based industries in resource-rich regions, which affects the overall industrial development pattern of the region and promotes economic development.
