No full textDo 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.

Rule of Law, culture e territori
No full textIl presente volume raccoglie le riflessioni delle giovani studiose e dei giovani studiosi che hanno partecipato al workshop “Culture, territori e Rule of Law. Un approccio interdisciplinare”, svoltosi alla Certosa di Pontignano (Siena) il 17 e 18 giugno 2022 nell’ambito dei progetti PRIN 2017 “Framing and diagnosing constitutional degradation: a comparative perspective” (Principal Investigator: Prof.ssa Tania Groppi) e PRIN 2017 “Implicazioni costituzionali dei separatismi europei” (Principal Investigator: Prof. Alessandro Torre – Responsabile dell’Unità di Siena su “Separatismi, diritti delle minoranze e trasformazioni della cittadinanza”: Prof.ssa Valeria Piergigli). Lo scopo della pubblicazione è quello di riflettere in prospettiva comparata e interdisciplinare sulla pluralità delle culture e sugli strumenti concretamente idonei all’ottenimento di quella accomodation delle identità minoritarie che costituisce caratteristica essenziale dello stato costituzionale contemporaneo, oggigiorno sottoposto a diverse latitudini a noti problemi di tenuta del Rule of Law.This volume collects the papers of the young scholars who participated in the workshop “Cultures, territories and Rule of Law. An interdisciplinary approach", held at the Certosa di Pontignano (Siena) on 17 and 18 June 2022 as part of the PRIN 2017 projects "Framing and diagnosing constitutional degradation: a comparative perspective" (Principal Investigator: Prof. Tania Groppi) and PRIN 2017 "Constitutional implications of European separatisms" (Principal Investigator: Prof. Alessandro Torre - Head of the Siena Unit on "Separatisms, minority rights and transformations of citizenship": Prof.ssa Valeria Piergigli). The purpose of the publication is to reflect in a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective on the plurality of cultures and on the tools concretely suitable for obtaining that accommodation of minority identities which constitutes an essential feature of the contemporary constitutional state
Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian finite volume IMEX schemes for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on evolving Chimera meshes
No full textIn this article we design a finite volume semi-implicit IMEX scheme for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on evolving Chimera meshes. We employ a time discretization technique that separates explicit and implicit terms, accommodating the multi-scale nature of the governing equations, which involve both time scales of diffusion and advection operators. The finite volume approach for both explicit and implicit terms allows to encode into the nonlinear flux the velocity of displacement of the Chimera mesh via integration on moving cells. The numerical solution is then projected onto the physically meaningful solution manifold of non-solenoidal fields that stems from the energy equation. To attain second-order time accuracy, we employ semi-implicit IMEX Runge-Kutta schemes. These novel schemes are combined with a fractional-step method, thus the governing equations are eventually solved using a projection method to satisfy the divergence-free constraint of the velocity field. The implicit discretization of the viscous terms allows the CFL-type stability condition for the maximum admissible time step to be only defined by the relative fluid velocity referred to the movement of the frame and not depending on the viscous terms. Communication between different grid blocks is enabled through compact exchange of information from the fringe cells of one mesh block to the field cells of the other block. The continuity of the solution is recovered in one-shot during the solution of the arising algebraic systems by not involving neither direct discretization of the differential operators on fringe cells nor an iterative Schwartz-type method. Free-stream preservation property, i.e. compliance with the Geometric Conservation Law (GCL), is respected at the order of the scheme. The accuracy and capabilities of the new numerical schemes are proved through an extensive range of test cases, demonstrating ability to solve relevant benchmarks in the field of incompressible fluids
