The economic role of cities in the 21st century
No full textJerry Carlino focuses on the economic activities that make firms in cities more productive and that make cities more attractive to urban households. Carlino finds that although agglomeration economies will continue to play a large role in the life of 21st century cities, modern cities must offer a wide choice of amenities to attract the type of high-skill workers needed in the new urban economy.Urban economics
Do jobs follow people or people follow jobs? A meta-analysis of Carlino-Mills studies
No full textThe issue whether ‘jobs follow people’ and/or ‘people follow jobs’ has recently emerged as one of the leading themes in regional and urban science. Much of the interest herein stems from alleged inconsistencies in the empirical evidence, which naturally raises questions as for the reasons why. Arguably, the nature of causality differs across space as well as time, while speculations have been rife about a number of methodological issues that may play a crucial role in shaping the research outcomes. In this paper a preliminary attempt is described to clarify these matters, by focusing on an articulate literature of 37 so-called ‘Carlino-Mills studies’. Specifically, a statistically supported literature review, referred to as ‘meta-analysis’, is presented in which the study results are evaluated and systematically related to a variety of study characteristics that underlie these results. By listing 308 study results reported in this literature, it is revealed that the empirical evidence is conform popular belief highly inconclusive, albeit that most of the results point towards ‘jobs follow people’. The findings of the meta-regression analyses indicate that the spatial setting of the study, the adopted model specification, and variables measurement in particular affect the research outcomes that indicate the jobs-people direction of causality. No evidence is found that the examination of data referring to a particular time period, population and/ or employment group make much of a difference.
Do states respond differently to changes in monetary policy?
No full textDo the proportion of interest-sensitive industries, the number of small firms, and the concentration of small banks determine how monetary policy influences state economies? In this article, Jerry Carlino and Bob DeFina extend to the state level their earlier study that looked at these factors and their effects on a region's economies. Are the responses the same?

The great moderation in economic volatility: a view from the states
No full textSince the middle of the 1980s, economic growth in the U.S. has become much more stable than it was in the preceding three decades, and the magnitude of the decline is substantial. What accounts for the decline in volatility, and why is the decline important for policymakers? In “The Great Moderation in Economic Volatility: A View from the States,” Jerry Carlino discusses these questions and makes the case that using state-level rather than just national data offers a much larger testing ground for analyzing the decline in economic volatility.Economic stabilization
Trends in metropolitan employment growth
No full textIn the early part of this century, both employment and population tended to concentrate in large metropolitan areas such as New York. Over the past 40 years, however, jobs and people have spread out as both firms and workers have sought the lower costs of smaller, less congested places. In fact, Jerry Carlino argues that "congestion costs"--traffic, pollution, and a higher cost of living--are a major factor in the relatively slower growth of large metropolitan areas in the second half of the century.Employment (Economic theory) ; Metropolitan areas - Statistics
Knowledge spillovers: cities' role in the new economy.
No full textJerry Carlino points out that cities, no longer centers of manufacturing, now serve as centers of creativity and innovation. The resulting “knowledge spillovers” are important components of today's economic growth.Cities and towns ; Patents
From centralization to deconcentration: people and jobs spread out.
No full textDuring the first half of the 20th century, people and jobs in the United States moved from rural to urban areas. After World War II, the U.S. saw other important shifts, including deconcentration - the movement of people and jobs from large, dense MSAs to small, less dense ones. This article looks at various aspects of deconcentration to see just how fast growth has been in less dense MSAs, whether trends for population and employment are the same, and whether the experience of MSAs in the frostbelt and sunbelt has been the same.Employment (Economic theory) ; Metropolitan areas - Statistics
Undemocratic Threats in the African context: which lesson to be learned from the Benin turning?
No full textNew Cognitive practices in a Master’s Thesis Proposal Writing Seminar
No full textThis chapter explores Bazerman´s notion that genres shape the ways of thinking of those who participate in them as genres channel their cognitive activity according to the social practices that they help organize. The chapter analyzes videotaped classroom interactions in a master´s thesis proposal writing seminar. It identifies five types of specialized cognitive practices that master´s students begin to engage in, and characterizes the interactive pedagogy, centered on joint reviews, carried out in the context of the covid-19 pandemic. These collective reviews are both a device for genre learning and a methodological resource that allows the researcher to gain access to clues about the intellectual processes of those who write and talk about texts.Fil: Carlino, Paula.
