Handbook of Social Infrastructure
This timely Handbook showcases cutting-edge empirical and theoretical social science research to shed light on the role, aims and functioning of social infrastructure (SI). Leading scholars present unique insights on topics such as healthcare, childcare, education, employment and SI for marginalized groups alongside cultural and recreational infrastructures.
Modeling Inter-regional Patient Mobility
Gravity models are extremely popular to investigate economic interactions across space. Bilateral ows are usually available as regionally aggregated data only, while information on demand and supply is often available at a finer spatial scale. We suggest using this information to calculate a measure of spatial accessibility based on the two-step oating catchment area method to augment the gravity equation. We apply this idea to analyze patient mobility by using easily available and spatially explicit information on physicians' locations (supply) and grid-level population data (demand). Our approach improves the model's fit and allows conducting a rich set of simulation experiments.
PLANUNG UND RÄUMLICHE WIRKUNGEN VON SOZIALEN INFRASTRUKTUREN
Soziale Infrastrukturen in den großen Bereichen der Gesundheit, Bildung, Betreuung und Pflege, des Wohnens, der Kultur und sozialen Absicherung, bilden einen Grundpfeiler der Daseinsvorsorge und verfolgen vielfältige sozial-, gesellschafts- und wirtschaftspolitische sowie regionale Zielsetzungen. Soziale Infrastrukturen sind damit zentrale Bestandteile der Alltagsökonomie und somit Basis für ein gutes Leben für alle. Die Raumplanung spielt hierbei durch die Schaffung von Infrastrukturen eine bestimmende Rolle. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Jahrbuchs Raumplanung 2023 präsentieren aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zur Planung und den Wirkungen von sozialen Infrastrukturen. Die Schwerpunkte liegen auf nachhaltigen und solidarischen Ansätzen in der Wohnungspolitik, auf partizipativen Bildungsinitiativen und Innovationslaboren, und auf rechtlichen Aspekten sozialer Infrastrukturen in der räumlichen Planung.
International Handbook on Mega-Projects
Providing crucial background information for those who want to understand decision-making processes on large transport infrastructure projects, this fascinating Handbook will prove an important source of information for academics, researchers and stude
Tax Evasion and the Shadow Economy
Issues such as tax evasion and the size and impact of the shadow economy have ranked highly in political and economic policy debates across the globe in recent years. Yet, despite various methodological advances and growing empirical evidence, there are still large areas of interest that have not been explored, or where scientific research efforts are still in their infancy. This timely book addresses such issues from various perspectives in order to demonstrate the extent and scope of tax evasion, the shadow economy and their interaction. Leading scholars examine recent evidence from theoretical and empirical research on tax compliance and tax evasion, and provide an in-depth analysis of un...
Deficits, Debt, and Democracy
This timely book reveals that the budget deficits and accumulating debts that plague modern democracies reflect a clash between two rationalities of governance: one of private property and one of common property. The clashing of these rationalities at various places in society creates forms of societal tectonics that play out through budgeting. The book demonstrates that while this clash is an inherent feature of democratic political economy, it can nonetheless be limited through embracing once again a constitution of liberty. Not all commons settings have tragic outcomes, of course, but tragic outcomes loom large in democratic processes because they entail conflict between two very differen...
Global Regionalization
Examines the political and economic changes that have reshaped the political geography of certain regions. This book deals with the concept of global bloc formation, examining the impacts that political-economic conditions and relationships in and between nations have on demographic and economic flows.
Public Debt
Over the past decades, economists have witnessed with growing uneasiness their failure to explain the ballooning of public debt in most countries. This book provides an alternative orientation that explains why concepts of public debt that are relevant for authoritarian regimes are not relevant for democratic regimes. Using methodological individualism and micro-economics, this book overcomes flaws inherent in the standard macro approach, according to which governments manipulate public debt to promote systemic stability. This unique analysis is grounded in the writings of Antonio de Viti de Marco, injecting current analytical contributions and formulations into the framework to offer a forthright insight into public debt and political economy.
