Human Capital Formation and the Missing Re-gional Upgrading in the EU Periphery: the Role of Migration and Education-Job Mismatch
No full textWhy the supply of human capital (in peripheral regions) does not create its own demand? The aim of this chapter is to shed lights on the complex channels which link human capital investments, spatial mobility and regional upgrading in peripheral regions. We analyse – using original datasets collected by the authors - two different locally funded human capital investment policies implemented by two neighbouring Italian Mezzogiorno regions, Basilicata and Apulia.
In the first part of the chapter, we analyse the ‘leakage’ of the human capital associated to this regional policy through out-migration. This first ‘story’ allows us to underline the high risks of failure of policies which push a single ‘side’ of the human capital market, i.e. its supply, without considering measures that at the same time stimulate its demand.
The second policy evaluated in this study was implemented by a larger and more industrialized neighbouring region, Apulia (Borse di ricerca). An ex post evaluation of this policy shows that only 10 percent of the individual beneficiaries is working outside the region. In this case human capital leakage through migration is limited, but our empirical analysis shows that there is a rather severe education-job mismatch in terms of both people being engaged in precarious employment forms (flexible or part-time) and (low) level of competences required in their actual occupation.
These two policy cases indicate, in our opinion, that severe market failures characterize the ‘absorption’ of human capital in the local economy rather than its formation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
