(TU Delft Policy Analysis)","","2022","In line with EU’s 2050 decarbonization agenda, the H2020 Energy Citizens for Inclusive Decarbon-ization (ENCLUDE) project aims to help the EU fulfil its promise of a just and inclusive decarboni-zation, adopting the principles of sharing and co-creating new knowledge and practices that are aimed at maximizing the number as well as the diversity of citizens and societal actors who are willing and able to contribute and take any form of action in the energy transition. Catalyzing chain reactions of decarbonization activities across the European Union will be achieved through the ENCLUDE Academy for Energy Citizen Leadership. We focus on a bottom-up approach of citizen engagement for decarbonization actions by identifying, networking and supporting local community leaders who have the intention to lead energy indicatives. A part of this support includes providing leaders with an overview of past collective actions across different contexts and time periods to help provide a historical context for current efforts towards societal transformation.
To do this, we sort through the vast and diverse literature documenting and analyzing collective actions, cutting across historical, geographical, social, and epistemological boundaries. Connecting these diverse perspectives to create a holistic understanding of the catalyzing and hindering factors of effective collective action for change, we adapt Ostrom’s Socio-Ecological Systems (SES) frame-work to analyze two historical examples of collective actions from the United States – the civil rights movement and the fall of the tobacco industry. We show that this interdisciplinary framework can be used to analyze collective actions across different time periods and contexts, focusing on different resources and subsystems that span from individual’s and in-groups’ actions and norms, to the general macroenvironment represented with various political, economic and social traits. Analyzing collective actions will ultimately provide valuable insight for initiating and sustaining collective ac-tions within the energy transition.
The analysis of the two distinctive collective actions shows the different leadership and organiza-tional style, as well as the importance of changing norms to reach social and societal change. We identify critical factors to understanding how societal transformation occurs outside of the environ-mental context and evaluate which of these factors are also relevant for decarbonization. The report ends with the practical application of this document to the upcoming ENCLUDE Academy, while the appendix contains further analysis of dozens of other collective actions.","","en","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","Policy Analysis","","",""

saying ""language rules impose no size limits"" does not mean that one can say ""there are arbitrarily large entities""; it simply means that one does not avail oneself of the former assumption, the latter assumption is just that: an assumption (or better axiom), not a consequence of not using the former
the existence proof for co-ordinate projections is mathematically unsound; it establishes that ""Tom and Jerry"" is a sentence built from the set {Laurel, Hardy}
the proof of the main result uses the assumption ""there are projections of any given cardinality""; this assumption is equivalent to the conclusion of the theorem and this reduces the main theorem to a trivial tautology","","en","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","Analysis","","",""

(TU Delft Economics of Technology and Innovation)","","2019","Using macroeconomic data for 1960-2018, this paper analyzes the origins of the crisis of the ‘post-Maastricht Treaty order of Italian capitalism’. After 1992, Italy did more than most other Eurozone members to satisfy EMU conditions in terms of self-imposed fiscal consolidation, structural reform and real wage restraint — and the country was undeniably successful in bringing down inflation, moderating wages, running primary fiscal surpluses, reducing unemployment and raising the profit share. But its adherence to the EMU rulebook asphyxiated Italy’s domestic demand and exports — and resulted not just in economic stagnation and a generalized productivity slowdown, but in relative and absolute decline in many major dimensions of economic activity. Italy’s chronic shortage of demand has clear sources: (a) perpetual fiscal austerity; (b) permanent real wage restraint; and (c) a lack of technological competitiveness which, in combination with an overvalued euro, weakens the ability of Italian firms to maintain their global market shares in the face of increasing competition of low-wage countries. These three causes lower capacity utilization, reduce firm profitability and hurt investment, innovation and diversification. The EMU rulebook thus locks the Italian economy into economic decline and impoverishment. The analysis points to the need to end austerity and devise public investment and industrial policies to improve Italy’s ‘technological competitiveness’ and stop the structural divergence between the Italian economy and France/Germany. The issue is not just to revive demand in the short run (which is easy), but to create a self-reinforcing process of investment-led and innovation-driven process of long-run growth (which is difficult).","Italian macroeconomic performance; Eurozone; secular stagnation; demand; real wage restraint; fiscal austerity; export growth","en","working paper","Institute for new economic thinking","","","","","","","","","","Economics of Technology and Innovation","","",""

No study has been more influential in propagating this perversity trope in the context of the Indian economy than the QJE article of Besley and Burgess (2004). Their article provides econometric evidence that pro-worker regulation resulted in lower output, employment, investment and productivity in India`s registered manufacturing sector. This paper reviews existing critiques of Besley and Burgess (2004), which highlight conceptual and measurement errors and uncover econometric weaknesses. The paper takes a step beyond these: it reports a failure to replicate Besley and Burgess’ findings and demonstrate the non- robustness of their results. My deconstruction is not only about the econometrics, however. I show that Besley and Burgess` findings are not just inconsistent with their theoretical priors, but also internally contradictory and empirically implausible, taxing any person’s capacity for belief. The paper, written by two `useful economists`, exhibits a gratuitous empiricism in which priors trump evidence. On all counts, it fails the test of being useful to the purpose of `evidence-based` public policy advice.","Manufacturing performance; industrial relations; pro-worker regulation; labor laws; Indian economy; Industrial Disputes Act (IDA)","en","working paper","Institute for new economic thinking","","","","","","","","","","Economics of Technology and Innovation","","",""

(London School of Economics); Nieuwenhuis, J.G. (TU Delft OLD Urban Renewal and Housing)","","2018","Research calls attention to the divergent school and labor market trajectories of
Europe’s youth while, across the Atlantic, researchers describe the long-lasting
consequences of poverty on adolescent development. In this paper we incorporate both processes to shed a new light on a classic concern in the sociology of stratification: how are adolescents’ aspirations, expectations, and school performance shaped by the combined socioeconomic contexts of family, school and neighborhood life? Theoretically, social contexts provide children with cultural resources that may foster their ambitions and bolster their academic performance. Reference group theory instead highlights how seemingly positive settings can depress educational performance as well as aspirations and expectations. We empirically test these competing claims, drawing on the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) which describes the school and neighborhood trajectories of 7,934 British children followed from birth to adolescence. We find that, generally, childhood school and neighborhood deprivation is negatively associated with adolescents’ school performance, aspirations and expectations for their future, in line with the cultural resource perspective. However, there are important exceptions to this pattern which point to reference group processes for (1) children of highly-educated parents, whose academic performance especially suffers from growing up in a poor neighborhood, and (2) for children from low-educated parents, whose academic aspirations and expectations are unexpectedly high when they either went to an affluent school or lived in an affluent neighborhood—but not both. We conclude by discussing implications for theory, policy and future research.","Adolescents; neighborhood effects; education; cultural resource perspective; reference group theory; United Kingdom; ALSPAC","en","working paper","London School of Economics and Political Science","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

The objective of this paper is to come to a better understanding of the effects of inherited and contextual disadvantage on the neighbourhood careers of children once they have left the parental home. We use a quasi-experimental family design exploiting sibling relationships, including real sibling pairs, and ""synthetic siblings"" who are used as a control group. Using rich register data from Sweden we find that real siblings live more similar lives in terms of neighbourhood experiences during their independent residential career than synthetic sibling pairs.

Often, changes in socio-spatial structures reflect intensifying socio-spatial divisions caused by both increasing inequality and urban development processes. This paper will examine the roles of increasing inequality and urban-development processes in reshaping the socio-spatial structure of the Tel-Aviv metropolitan area in Israel. Tel-Aviv is an interesting case study because of the persistent north-south socioeconomic divide. During the research period (1995–2008) inequality in Israel has risen substantially following the integration in the global economy; at the same time, the metropolitan area went through extensive urban development and expansion to the rural fringe. To examine the contributions associated with increasing inequality and urban-development processes to income changes among metropolitan neighbourhoods, we use a method that was originally presented in the context of individual income mobility and recently applied in the context of neighbourhood change. The results show that urban processes and inequality intensified the historical divide in different ways, and each factor can be associated with a typical spatial pattern. The interaction between the factors is diverse; in some places they reinforced each other, whereas in some they operated at opposite directions and offset each other.","neighbourhood change; socio-spatial divide; inequality; socio-spatial structure; spatial polarization; socioeconomic change","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

(University of Tartu)","","2017","The literature on intergenerational contextual mobility has shown that neighbourhood status is partly ""inherited"" from parents to children where children who spend their childhood in deprived neighbourhoods are more likely to live in such neighbourhoods also as adults. It has been suggested that such transmission of neighbourhood status also is relevant from multiple generation approach. To our knowledge, however, this has only been confirmed by simulations and not empirical research. This study uses actual empirical data covering 25 years and the full Swedish population to investigate intergenerational similarities in neighbourhood status of three generations of Swedish women. Findings suggest that the neighbourhood environments of Swedish women are correlated with the neighbourhood statuses of their mothers and, to some extent, grandmothers. We also find an effect of distance where intergenerational transmission is stronger for those remaining close. Whereas women whose mothers and grandmothers live in high-income areas benefit from staying close, women whose mothers and grandmothers live in low-income areas do better if they live further away. These results are robust over two different analytical strategies – comparing neighbourhood status of the three generations at similar ages and at the same point in time – and two different spatial scales. We argue that the finding of such effects in (relatively egalitarian) Sweden implies that similar, and possibly stronger, patterns are likely to exist in other countries as well.","intergenerational transmission; neighbourhood; low-income neighbours; register data; Sweden","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

However, interactions between the individual, the childhood family and neighbourhood context and the neighbourhood experiences after leaving the parental home are often overlooked which might bias estimates of neighbourhood effects. It is likely that part of the effects attributed to neighbourhoods, are actually effects of the family in which someone was brought up. This study uses a sibling design to disentangle family and neighbourhood effects on income, and synthetic sibling pairs are used as a control group. The sibling design allows us to separate the effects of childhood family and neighbourhood contexts, but also between childhood neighbourhood effects and effects of the adult neighbourhood experiences. Using data from Swedish registers we show that the neighbourhood effect from both childhood and adult neighbourhood exposure is biased upwards by the influence of the family context. This leads to the conclusion that part of what appeared to be a neighbourhood effect was in fact a lasting family effect. Interestingly, we find that there is a long lasting effect of the family context on income later in life, and that this effect is strong regardless the individual neighbourhood pathway later in life.","neighbourhood effects; non-random sorting; siblings; family; income; longitudinal data","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

The study is based on population registers and census data for the 2001–2011 period. For the UK, which has long had high levels of social inequalities and high levels of socioeconomic segregation, we find that levels of mobility between neighbourhood types are low and opportunities to move to more socio-economically advantaged neighbourhoods are modest. In Estonia, which used to be one or the most equal and least segregated countries in Europe and now is one of the most liberal and market oriented countries, we find high levels of mobility, but these reproduce segregation patterns and it is difficult to move to better neighbourhoods for those in the most deprived neighbourhoods. In the Netherlands and Sweden, where social inequalities are the smallest, it is easiest to move from the most deprived to less deprived neighbourhoods. To conclusion, the combination of high levels of social inequalities and high levels of spatial segregation tend to lead to a vicious circle of segregation for low income groups, where it is difficult to undertake both upward social mobility and upward spatial mobility.","social mobility; spatial mobility; disadvantaged neighbourhoods; segregation; inequality; international comparison","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

We argue that estimates of the effect of working from home on commuting time are biased downward because most studies ignore preference based sorting (self-selection): workers who dislike commuting, and hence have shorter commutes, might also be more likely to work from home. In this paper we investigate to what extent working from home affects the willingness to accept a longer commute and we control for preference based sorting. We use 7 waves of data from the Dutch Labour Supply Panel and show that on average telecommuters have a 50 percent higher marginal cost of one-way commuting time, compared to non-telecommuters. We estimate the effect of telecommuting on commuting time using a fixed effects approach and we show that preference based sorting biases cross-sectional results 27-28 percent downwards.

(University of Missouri-St. Louis)","","2017","Studies of neighbourhood effects often attempt to identify causal effects of neighbourhood characteristics on individual outcomes, such as income, education, employment, and health. However, selection looms large in this line of research and it has been repeatedly argued that estimates of neighbourhood effects are biased as people non-randomly select into neighbourhoods based on their preferences, income, and the availability of alternative housing. We propose a two-step framework to help disentangle selection processes in the relationship between neighbourhood deprivation and earnings. We first model neighbourhood selection using a discrete choice framework and derive correction components to adjust parameter estimates in a subsequent neighbourhood effects model for the unequal probability that an individual ‘chooses’ to live in a particular area. Applying this technique to administrative data from the Netherlands, we find significant interactions between personal and neighbourhood characteristics in the selection model. This confirms individual differences in neighbourhood preferences; individuals non-randomly select into neighbourhoods. The baseline neighbourhood effects model reveals a significant effect of average neighbourhood income on individual income. When we include correction components for the differential sorting of individuals into specific neighbourhoods, the effect of neighbourhood income diminishes, but remains significant. These results suggest that researchers need to be attuned to the role of selection bias when assessing the role of neighbourhood effects on individual outcomes. Perhaps more importantly, the strong, persistent effect of neighbourhood deprivation on subsequent earnings suggests that neighbourhood effects reflect more than the shared characteristics of neighbourhood residents; place of residence partially determines economic well-being.","neighbourhood effects; neighbourhood sorting; neighbourhood choice; income; selection bias; discrete choice; longitudinal data","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

Whether such cross-sectional measures serve as reliable proxies for children’s long-run neighborhood conditions depends on the stability in children’s neighborhood experiences over time. We investigate the temporal stability in children’s neighborhood environment, focusing on two of the most commonly studied neighborhood characteristics: The ethnic composition and mean income of the neighborhood. Using Dutch population register data, we follow an entire cohort of children from birth up until age 15. We use year-toyear correlations in the percentage non-Western minorities and the mean income in the neighborhood to evaluate the temporal stability of children’s neighborhood experiences. Children’s neighborhood characteristics were found to be more stable over time with regard to ethnic composition than with regard to income. Children who had moved at least once were found to have lower stability in neighborhood characteristics than children who never moved. Finally, neighborhood experiences were found to be more stable over time for ethnic minorities than for the native Dutch, although differences were small with regard to income. Single point-in-time measurements of neighborhood characteristics are reasonable proxies for the long-run ethnic composition of children’s neighborhood environment, but rather noisy proxies for the long-run income status of their neighborhood, particularly for those who moved.","neighbourhood experiences; neighbourhood environment; childre; income; temporal dynamics","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

We dwell into concepts of bounded rationality to describe the cognitive biases and heuristics affecting decision-making under uncertainty and apply them to the way individuals perceive and act upon the promises of urban life. By linking this literature to urban theory, we can better understand how individuals make their decisions about moving to and living in cities. We thereby offer an understanding of urbanisation and migration processes departing from economic rationality assumptions and explain the remarkable attractive force of cities throughout human history. Finally, we discuss the ways in which human biases in favour of city narratives and bright urban futures can be exploited by ‘triumphalist’ accounts of cities in policy and media, which neglect the embedded injustices and structural problems of urban life.","cognitive biases and heuristics; decision-making; urban migration; social mobility; subjective well-being; urban triumphalism","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban and Regional Development","","",""

(TU Delft OLD Urban Renewal and Housing); van Ham, M. (TU Delft OLD Urban Renewal and Housing; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA))","","2017","Neighbourhood socioeconomic change is a complex phenomenon which is driven by multiple macro- and micro-level processes. Most theoretical and empirical work has focused on the role of urban-level processes, such as filtering, life-cycle, and social dynamics. For individual neighbourhoods, these processes generate flows of different socioeconomic groups, which consequently leads to an exchange of relative positions in the metropolitan hierarchy (‘exchange’ effect) where some neighbourhoods move up and others move down. Neighbourhoods are also affected by structural processes that operate beyond the urban level. They can generate upward or downward shifts of absolute income across a whole array of neighbourhoods (‘growth/decline’ effect), or change the inequality among neighbourhoods, where the top and bottom of the neighbourhood hierarchy move away from each other (‘inequality’ effect). A common practice in neighbourhood change studies is to represent neighbourhood status as relative to the respective metropolitan area; this neutralizes the ‘growth/decline’ effect and ignores an important source of change and divergence between neighbourhoods in different regions. Some specific relative measures of change do capture the ‘inequality’ effect but confound the ‘exchange’ and ‘inequality’ effects. This paper introduces a methodological approach that decomposes total neighbourhood socioeconomic change, measured in absolute terms, into components of ‘exchange’, ‘growth/decline’ and ‘inequality’. It applies a decomposition method presented by Van Kerm (2004), developed for understanding income mobility of individuals. The approach (1) acknowledges the role of structural processes in neighbourhood change, and (2) makes a distinction between different processes that generate neighbourhood change which is essential for comparative research.","urban change; neighbourhood change; structural processes; relative change; absolute change; inequality","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

The main instrument of restructuring has been housing diversification and tenure mixing. The demolition of low-quality (social) housing and the construction of owner-occupied or private-rented dwellings was expected to change the population composition of deprived neighbourhoods through the in-migration of middle and high income households. Many studies have been critical with regard to the success of such policies in actually upgrading neighborhoods. Using data from the 31 largest Dutch cities for the 1999 to 2013 period, this study contributes to the literature by investigating the effects of large-scale demolition and new construction on neighborhood income developments on a low spatial scale. We use propensity score matching to isolate the direct effects of policy by comparing restructured neighborhoods to a set of control neighborhoods with low demolition rates, but with similar socioeconomic characteristics. The results indicate that large-scale demolition leads to socioeconomic upgrading of deprived neighborhoods through the in-migration of middle and high income households.

(TU Delft Economics of Technology and Innovation)","","2017","The U.S. economy is widely diagnosed with two ‘diseases’: a secular stagnation of potential U.S. growth, and rising income and job polarization. The two diseases have a common root in the demand shortfall, originating from the ‘unbalanced’ growth between technologically ‘dynamic’ and ‘stagnant’ sectors. To understand how the short-run demand shortfall carries over into the long run, this paper first deconstructs the notion of total-factor-productivity (TFP) growth, the main constituent of potential output growth and “the best available measure of the underlying pace of exogenous innovation and technological change”. The paper argues that there is no such thing as a Solow residual and demonstrates that TFP growth can only be meaningfully interpreted in terms of labor productivity growth. Because labor productivity growth, in turn, is influenced by demand factors, the causes of secular stagnation must lie in inadequate demand. Inadequate demand, in turn, is the result of a growing segmentation of the U.S. economy into a ‘dynamic’ sector which is shedding jobs, and a ‘stagnant’ and ‘survivalist’ sector which acts as an ‘employer of last resort’. The argument is illustrated with long-run growth-accounting data for the U.S. economy (1948-2015). The mechanics of dualistic growth are highlighted using a Baumol-inspired model of unbalanced growth. Using this model, it is shown that the ‘output gap’, the anchor of monetary policy, is itself a moving target. As long as this endogeneity of the policy target is not understood, monetary policymakers will continue to contribute to unbalanced growth and premature stagnation.","","en","working paper","Institute for new economic thinking","","","","","","","","","","Economics of Technology and Innovation","","",""

We use longitudinal register data from the Netherlands to study a complete cohort of parental home leavers who attained a higher education by the end of the measurement period (1999 to 2012). We supplemented this data with information gathered in the WoON-survey. We examined differences in income trajectories for highly-educated native
Dutch and non-Western ethnic minorities; investigated the strength of intergenerational transmission of income for both groups; and assessed individual neighbourhood experiences and contentment. We find that the highly-educated native Dutch in our subpopulation have a substantially higher average income over time, and a weaker association to the income of their parents compared to the non-Western ethnic minorities. Additionally, for ethnic minorities, our results show that the level of contentment with their neighbourhood is highest in deprived neighbourhoods compared to more affluent residential environments, and they more often reside in close proximity to their parents compared to the native Dutch, both suggesting an element of choice in neighbourhood selection.","neighbourhood histories; intergenerational transmission; income; education; ethnicity; longitudinal data","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

Through in-depth interviews with homeowners living in danwei communities, or urban villages, at the pre-demolition phase, this paper reveals the strong connection between place attachment and both positive and negative lived experiences. The homeowners cleverly mobilise stable neighbourhood features and the challenges brought by neighbourhood changes to relieve their life constrains, such as the form of dwellings, low living costs and the place identity, which contributes to the development of place attachment. However, various forms of neighbourhood decline have negative effects on their place attachment. Urban redevelopment, therefore, confronts residents with a dilemma concerning the relative importance of their sense of rootedness in the neighbourhood and the desire to relocate to achieve better living conditions. By exploring this ambivalence, this paper displays how neighbourhood decline, and the impending demolition, affect residents’ lived experiences and how residents in turn reconstruct their place attachment.","place attachment; ambivalence; lived experiences; declining neighbourhoods; urban redevelopment; China","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

However, there are multiple parallel socio-spatial contexts besides the residential space to which individuals are exposed on a daily basis, such as households, schools, and places of work and leisure, which may also influence their outcomes. For children and adolescents, the school environment may be especially important. This study contributes to the literature by examining the joint influence of the parental background, the parental neighbourhood, and a compositional measure of the school environment, on the neighbourhood trajectories of Dutch adolescents after leaving the parental home. We use longitudinal register data from the Netherlands to study a complete cohort of school-going home-leavers, who were followed from 1999 to 2012.

Upward income mobility was connected to exit from low-income areas in a quite similar way among immigrants and native-born Finns. The findings suggest that policies
e.g. improving the labour market opportunities of immigrants are effective in reduction of residential segregation. However, we were not able to completely explain the differences between native-born Finns and immigrants in moving patterns.

Results indicate that especially Turkish and Moroccan children were more likely than native Dutch children to live in a poor neighborhood at any specific stage within childhood, but particularly throughout childhood.

However, these temporal dimensions of neighbourhood effects receive only limited attention in the empirical literature, largely because of a lack of suitable data. The increasing availability of geo-coded, longitudinal, individual-level data now leads to more research which takes these temporal dimensions and time effects into account. This paper argues that it is time for an overarching framework to better understand the temporal dimension of neighbourhood effects. We propose a conceptual model that uses the life course approach as a framework to integrate the various elements of time in current neighbourhood effects theories. The life course approach emboldens the study of full individual life course biographies over time, taking into consideration multiple parallel life careers (such as education, household, housing, work, and leisure) and their relative importance to individual outcomes. A large advantage of the life course approach to neighbourhood effects is that it does not only allow us to incorporate residential neighbourhoods into individual biographies, but also allows us to study the effects of (and interactions with) other social and spatial contexts on individual outcomes.","neighbourhood effects; neighbourhood histories; life course approach,; temporal dimension; contextual effects","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

Low income people, often with an ethnic minority background, can get cut off from important social networks and mainstream society, and this can lead to social unrest. Increasing inequality and socio-economic segregation is therefore a major concern for local and national governments. Socio-economic segregation is the outcome of a combination of inequality and poverty, and the spatial organisation of urban housing markets. Poverty, and living in poverty concentration neighbourhoods is transmitted between generations and neighbourhood poverty is reproduced over time through to the residential mobility behaviour of households. Urban policy often focusses on reducing segregation through physical measures in cities, such as demolishing houses in deprived neighbourhoods and replacing them with housing for the middle classes. Such policies will not solve the underlying causes of segregation, but only redistribute poverty over cities. Policy initiatives should first of all focus on reducing inequality by creating equal opportunities for people and invest in education and training.

Our results show that the ethnic composition in neighborhoods remains relatively stable over time. We find evidence for a slow trend towards deconcentration of ethnic minorities and increased (spatial) population mixing in most neighborhoods. We show how residential mobility decreases segregation, while natural population growth tends to reinforce segregation. While the ethnic minority presence in cities grows, there is a substantial share of neighborhoods which can be identified as white citadels; characterized by a stable large native population, with high incomes and high house values. These neighborhoods seem to be inaccessible to ethnic minorities, which illustrates the spatial manifestation of exclusionary elitism in increasingly ethnically diverse cities.","ethnic segregation; neighborhood trajectories; population dynamics; latent class growth modelling; longitudinal study","en","working paper","Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit/ Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)","","","","","","","","","","OLD Urban Renewal and Housing","","",""

The main focus is on understanding who lives in those regions which are rapidly losing population, and who is most likely to leave these regions. This is one of the first studies to use individual level Lithuanian census data from 2001 and 2011. We found that low socio-economic status residents and older residents dominate the population of shrinking regions, and unsurprisingly we found that the most “successful” people are the most likely to leave such regions. This process of selective migration reinforces the negative downward spiral of declining regions. As a result, socio-spatial polarisation is growing within the country, where people with higher socio-economic status are increasingly overrepresented in the largest city-regions, while the elderly and residents with a lower socioeconomic status are overrepresented in declining rural regions. This paper provides empirical evidence of selective migration and increasing regional disparities in Lithuania.

In this paper, we explore the potential effects of automated driving relevant for policy and society, review literature results about those effects and identify areas for future research. We structure our review based on the ripple effect concept, which represents implications of automated vehicles at three stages: first-order (traffic, travel cost, and travel choices), second-order (vehicle ownership and sharing, location choices and land use, and transport infrastructure) and third-order (energy consumption, air pollution, safety, social equity, economy, and public health). Our review shows that first-order impacts on road capacity, fuel efficiency, emissions, and accidents risk are expected to be beneficial. The magnitude of these benefits will likely increase with the level of automation and cooperation and with the penetration rate of these systems. The synergistic effects between vehicle automation, electrification and sharification can multiply these benefits. However, studies confirm that automated vehicles can induce additional travel demand because of more and longer vehicle trips. Potential land use changes have not included in these estimations about excessive travel demand. Other third-order benefits on safety, economy, public health and social equity still remain unclear. Therefore, the balance between short-term benefits and long-term impacts of vehicle automation remains an open question.","automated driving; policy and societal implications; ripple effect; first-, second-, and third- order impacts; RePEc","en","working paper","","","","","","","","","Civil Engineering and Geosciences","Transport & Planning","","","",""

(TU Delft Transport and Logistics); Prato, Carlo G.; Chorus, C.G. (TU Delft Transport and Logistics)","","2015","This paper derives a trick to account for variation in choice set size in Random Regret Minimization (RRM) models. In many choice situations the choice set size varies across choice observations. As in RRM models regret level differences increase with increasing choice set size, not accounting for variation in choice set size results in RRM models to predict relatively deterministic choice behaviour in observations where the choice set is large and relatively random choice behaviour in observations where the choice set is small. Such variation in choice consistency across observations is behaviourally unrealistic and leads to inferior performance of RRM models in the context of data sets with varying choice set sizes. The proposed trick resolves this in an econometrically pragmatic and behaviourally meaningful way by rescaling the regret levels as a function of the choice set size. The trick can be applied in the estimation phase when the choice set size varies across choice observations as well as in the forecasting phase when forecasts are made over choice sets of varying sizes.","Random Regret Minimization; Decision rule; Discrete choice modelling; Choice set","en","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","Transport and Logistics","","",""

The actor-observant duality of people in urban environments is one of the key arguments of the smart cities debate: how can citizens be empowered in the detection, analysis, and solution of modern urban challenges? How can public authorities support collective awareness, encourage social deliberation, and drive positive behavioural change? How can inclusive decision making processes be enabled that are also effective and sustainable? Which role can universities and private organizations play in this picture? These questions help frame the multi-actor and multidimensional nature of the smart citizen discourse and point to some of the most important challenges that affect the systematic and durable success of smart citizen initiatives.
In this white paper we outline a conceptual framework aimed at providing a foundation for the smart cities versus smart citizens debate. This document is targeted at readers who are interested in the topic, but it does not require any advanced conceptual or technical knowledge in this field. Our goal is to inform the development of future smart cities efforts centred around citizens by identifying and relating important areas of research and experimentation.","","en","working paper","Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS)","","","","","","","","","","Web Information Systems","","",""

Toch is dit geen reden om concentratie van de spoedeisende hulp na te streven. Omdat de SEH maar een beperkt beslag legt op de middelen zijn de te verwachtte kostenbesparingen gering. Bovendien worden eventuele kostenbesparingen verderop in de keten teniet gedaan door schaalnadelen bij eventuele (poli)klinische vervolgbehandeling.

Een klein effect wordt aangetroffen bij de mate waarin voldaan wordt aan de 1000-urennorm, het effect is overigens wel significant. Ook zijn er instellingen waarbij kostenondoelmatigheid toegeschreven kan worden aan de omvang van vestigingen, van scholen of van de instelling zelf.

For instance, municipalities can determine the level of service required by opting for a certain collection frequency, by establishing conditions for sorted waste disposal and/or by taking part in the purchasing process for processing capacity. Another important policy choice is how the waste collection process is set up: is this task conducted by a municipal sanitation service, does the municipality choose to outsource the work, does it join neighbouring municipalities or a cooperative of municipalities? This research focuses on the productivity of waste collection and disposal in the period 2001-2009. The goal is to chart developments in productivity in the sector, offer insight into mutual differences between municipalities and identify policy choices that stimulate productivity.

Increased police deployment, heavier sentences, various preventive measures to combat truancy, neighbourhood renewal and strengthening integration are just a small selection of the various policies that are frequently mentioned in the debate on the improvement of safety. Important questions are: how effective are these measures and in which situation do they give the best results? Especially in this time of financial cutbacks there is little room and great pressure to spend each Euro as effectively as possible. For this reason, it is very important to know in which way safety can be influenced effectively and which costs this involves. This report is the first in a series of three reports on the effectiveness of the Dutch safety policy. It aims to develop a framework with which questions about its effectiveness can be answered. The research is based on three key principles. Firstly, safety is truly used as a key variable. Intermediate products, such as the number of police reports or the number of recorded or solved crimes, are of secondary importance. Secondly, safety is regarded as the result of social factors and a complex network/chain of safety-related provisions. As yet, little is known about the empirical relationship between safety, social factors and safety policy. Scientific literature provides hardly any clues. Therefore, this research is a valuable addition to the existing scientific knowledge. Thirdly, such framework is only useful if it can be used to conduct empirical research that could lead to specific policy recommendations. This implies that there is a strong emphasis on the operationalisation of certain concepts and the possibility to substantiate them with available data. These three starting points have a high level of ambition. The first report should therefore be primarily seen as an exploration in which the emphasis is placed on an inventory of available data, identifying relevant social factors and determining the effectiveness of police deployment.","safety; security; police; effectiveness; public; RePEc","","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""

De aard van de dienstverlening leent zich misschien niet voor substitutie van personeel voor materiaal en kapitaal. Dieper inzicht in de oorzaken van de productiviteitsdaling kan verkregen worden door systematische bedrijfsvergelijkingen van alle VVT-instellingen op prestatie-indicatoren, waaronder de productie, ingezette middelen, prijzen en productiviteitsontwikkeling, maar ook technologie en innovatiebeleid, inkoopbeleid, personeelsbeleid, governance en managementstructuur.

We find weak evidence that larger and older firms have higher new product sales than do younger and smaller firms. Our findings should be food for thought to economists making unqualified pleas for the deregulation of labor markets.","Innovation performance; new product sales; numerical flexibility; functional flexibility; SMEs; OSA longitudinal data; RePEc","","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""

Investeringen in het onderwijs bijvoorbeeld leveren zowel individueel als maatschappelijk rendement op. Als een land investeert in onderwijs kan dat besparingen opleveren in de bestrijding van criminaliteit, in de uitgaven aan sociale zekerheid en in de uitgaven aan gezondheidszorg. Indien dergelijke positieve externe effecten van een investering in onderwijs niet of onvoldoende worden betrokken bij de beoordeling van verschillende beleidsinterventies, ongeacht om welk beleidsveld het gaat, dan zal dat leiden tot onderinvestering in onderwijs en bijbehorende suboptimale welvaart. In dit discussiedocument doen we een voorstel voor een rationeel allocatiemodel (HALY) dat gebaseerd is op de vergelijking van kosten en effecten of kosten en baten van overheidinvesteringen. Om de werking van het allocatiemodel te laten zien, werken wij een hypothetische toepassing van dit model uit. Hier worden een onderwijsinterventie (onderwijs aan 3-jarigen met taalachterstand) en een justitie-interventie (begeleiding jeugdcriminelen) met elkaar vergeleken. Verder selecteren wij delen van de begroting van andere ministeries met doelen die overeenkomen met onderwijs en laten wij de bijbehorende uitgaven zien.","govermental means; allocation; HALY; education; innovation; RePEc","","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""

Op basis van interviews, een vragenlijst en een economisch model schetsen wij een beeld van innovaties op scholen. In het rapport gaan we in op de definitie van het begrip innovatie en benoemen we de innovaties die zijn toegepast in het voortgezet onderwijs in de afgelopen jaren. Verder kijken we naar de verspreiding van innovaties en onderzoeken we het effect van potentiële determinanten op de verspreiding van innovaties. Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat schaal (schoolgrootte, aantal vestigingen en de grootte van het bestuur) een belangrijke determinant is van innovaties. Ook concurrentie, type onderwijs, het onderwijsbeleid en het docentencorps van een school beïnvloeden de keuze om te innoveren. Het rapport bevat verder enkele beleidsaanbevelingen gebaseerd op de conclusies van het onderzoek.","Education; Innovation; schools; RePEc","","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""

Het eindrapport bevat enkele belangrijke uitkomsten. Zo blijkt dat de schaalvergroting in de zorg de afgelopen 20 jaar niet heeft geleid tot een sterke afname van de bereikbaarheid van zorginstellingen. In de ziekenhuissector is het aantal instellingen bijvoorbeeld sterk afgenomen, maar het aantal locaties (inclusief buitenpoliklinieken) juist toegenomen. Vanuit een internationaal perspectief bekeken zijn Nederlandse zorginstellingen verder aan de grote kant. Dit geldt ook vanuit het oogpunt van doelmatigheid. Doelmatigheidsargumenten kunnen derhalve geen rol spelen bij fusies tussen zorginstellingen.","Health care; Scale; Reachability; Innovation; RePEc","","working paper","","","","","","","","","","","","","",""
