New Frontiers in Interregional Migration Research
No full textThis book focuses on the latest advances and challenges in interregional migration research. Given the increase in the availability of "big data" at a finer spatial scale, the book discusses the resulting new challenges for researchers in interregional migration, especially for regional scientists, and the theoretical and empirical advances that have been made possible. In presenting these findings, it also sheds light on the different migration drivers and patterns in the developed and developing world by comparing different regions around the globe. The book updates and revisits the main academic debates in interregional migration, and presents new emerging lines of investigation and a forward-looking research agenda
Constrained choice? Graduate early career job-to-job mobility in core and non-core regions in the Netherlands
Full text linkWe investigate job-switch strategies of graduates from Dutch HEIs resding in core and non-core areas: to what extent are residential and workplace mobility coupled with switches across industrial sectors? Registry data from Statistics Netherlands enables us to track graduation cohorts from seven years prior to eighteen years following graduation.Overall, the likelihood of labour market dynamics varies strongly with the life-phase in which we find graduates. We find that, like migration, job mobility is not a random event. It occurs, in some cases, repeatedly, to specific groups who appear to operate at the edges of the job opportunity space. We find that sector and workplace mobility appear contemporarily positively interrelated, persistent, but also intertemporally competing. Residential mobility appears somewhat disconnected from labour market dynamics, although it appears that some wait for a match to come to fruition before changing residences. Mobility is higher across the board for graduates residing in non-core areas, with non-core singles found to be relatively mobile. We demonstrate that it is not the presence of a partner as such that limits spatial mobility, but whether or not he or she is economically active. Controlling for this, and contrary to what is often reported in migration literature, we find that couples without children, living in non-core areas, are more likely to exhibit residential mobility than singles. They are also more likely to engage in sectoral and workplace mobility. Non-core couples with children are also found more likely to engage in residential mobility than singles. <br/
Smart move? The spatial mobility of higher education: the spatial mobility of higher education graduates
Full text linkIn dit proefschrift staat de ruimtelijke mobiliteit van recent afgestudeerden van Nederlandse universiteiten en hbo-instellingen centraal. De aanwezigheid van hoger opgeleiden kan gunstige effecten hebben op de economische ontwikkeling van regio’s. Er is dan ook veel aandacht van beleidsmakers en wetenschappers voor de locatiekeuzes van deze zeer mobiele groep hoger opgeleiden. In dit proefschrift wordt eerst ingegaan op de individuele en regionale determinanten van ruimtelijke mobiliteit. Zo wordt aangetoond dat er grote verschillen zijn in vertrekkans uit de perifere gebieden van Nederland tussen studenten met verschillende afstudeerrichtingen. Het zijn daarnaast niet automatisch de beste studenten die de periferie verlaten. De aanwezigheid van ruime mogelijkheden op de arbeidsmarkt is de belangrijkste factor in de locatiekeuze. Daarnaast worden de opbrengsten van ruimtelijke mobiliteit voor de individuele afgestudeerde en voor de ontvangende stad bestudeerd. Uit dit proefschrift blijkt dat ruimtelijk mobiele afgestudeerden gemiddeld genomen een kwalitatief betere baan hebben. Dit wordt echter niet veroorzaakt door mobiliteit als zodanig, maar door persoonlijke kenmerken. Instroom van recent afgestudeerden op stedelijke arbeidsmarkten heeft gunstige effecten op de aanwezigheid van wetenschappelijke banen in de stad. Van instroom van afgestudeerden op de stedelijke woningmarkt gaan positieve consumptie effecten uit op banen van lager en middelbaar niveau. Dit proefschrift resulteert in enkele voor wetenschap en beleid belangwekkende inzichten in ruimtelijke mobiliteit van afgestudeerden, naast enkele suggesties voor toekomstig onderzoek
Human capital spillovers in Dutch cities: consumption or productivity?
Full text linkWe study the recursive relationship between the ability of Dutch cities to attract recent graduate human capital to their labour-or housing markets and a city's skills structure, using a comprehensive dataset and a novel operationalisation strategy. We disentangle production and consumption spillovers by separating out human capital employed in a city's labour market and human capital present in a city's resident population, respectively. We do so for both the recent graduates flowing into Dutch cities to find work and a residential location, as well as for the incumbent workers and population. We control for the effects of a city's skills endowments, its (non-) economic characteristics and those of other relevant cities. We find positive effects of a relatively strong graduate labour market inflow on the share of higher and scientific-level jobs. Production spillovers therefore predominantly occur among the higher skilled. Contrary to the higher educated incumbent population, which appears to prefer high skilled services, recent graduate inflows to residential areas have positive effects on the share of jobs requiring lower and medium skills. Consumption spillovers from graduate residential inflows thus occur between higher and lower skilled
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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Graduate migration and regional familiarity
Full text link<p>This paper provides insights into the spatial mobility patterns of young graduates in the Netherlands. Both home-to-HEI (higher education institution) as well as HEI-to-work mobility results in net flows towards the central economic region of the Netherlands. However, many graduates move within the larger central and peripheral regions and these flows are focused on cities. There is a strong regional component to graduate mobility as origins and destinations tend to be relatively close to the chosen HEI. Flows seem to be influenced by regional familiarity, with relatively many graduates moving back to familiar home regions. Often, a city's young graduate labour force and graduate residents have studied at a local HEI. Cities close to the economic core areas benefit from outflows of graduates from the largest employment centres.</p>
