#Publish or perish? Not quite. In TIBG, Leiboyu Xiang, @neillee.bsky.social & I argue the real divide isn’t who prints the most article pages, but who produces high-impact, elite #research. Four wold hubs dominate when quantity meets influence in scientific production.

We treat #innovation as a self-sustaining engine, forgetting it requires the ballast of good #instititutions.
Borsekova, Korony, Styk, Westlund & me show in our new PiRS paper that in CEE, #governance deficits are a hard ceiling on technical talent.

Urban life needn’t be a binary choice between #metropolitan sclerosis & provincial stagnation. As Searle, @annforsythplan.bsky.social, Gurran & Darcy argue in #Cities, the intermediate city offers a Goldilocks third way: vibrancy without the punishing #urban diseconomies. doi.org/10.1016/j.ci...
Governments cannot "message" their way out of a geography of #discontent. Writing in Regional Science Policy & Practice, Torre and @bourdinseb.bsky.social suggest that only territorial justice can repair the symbolic hierarchies that treat certain #regions as obsolete.

The creative economy is less a series of spontaneous eruptions and more a matter of historical plumbing. Büyükyazıcı & @evacoll8.bsky.social show in @regionalstudies.bsky.social that hubs are built on latent skills, not conjured from thin air. #Culture by habit, not miracle. doi.org/10.1080/0034...
#EU green spending can, some times, actually raise emissions, according to Marco Dueñas & Antoine Mandel in their brand new @regionalstudies.bsky.social paper.
Where #institutions are weak, #green budgets dissolve into near-term, high-emission expansion.

One cannot simply import a #Bordeaux blueprint into #Canada. As De Fuentes, Doloreux & Quilley show when mapping Nova Scotia’s rise to a vintage of the periphery (Journal of Rural Studies), it requires local grit & external support in equal measure.

#Brussels considers investment a universal solvent. It isn’t.
In Economic Modelling, Alvarez, Barbero, Orea & I show that local #institutions shape the returns of #investment. Where they are brittle, better invest in skills than in concrete. doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

British #Universities fashion themselves as global engines of excellence. However, as Chaytor and Tomaney argue in
@politicalquarterly.bsky.social, locally, they increasingly look like extractive #industries: educating young people for jobs that exist elsewhere.

“Devolve, devolve, devolve.” Devolution is less a lifeline than a psychological permission slip.
As Hermelin shows in her new Planning Practice & Research paper, with #devolution, #Sweden’s outposts are turning from service desks to brokers by necessity, not wealth.

Drop the #Christmas socks. The real crisis isn't your gift list; it's the #DevelopmentTrap. Balland & @ronboschma.bsky.social show in @regionalstudies.bsky.social how regions lacking #complexity become haunted by their own history. Hard work won't save them—innovation will. doi.org/10.1080/0034...
«Vi spiego perché i luoghi che non contano hanno smesso di aspettare»
L'economista Andrés Rodríguez-Pose: «Nelle nostre metropoli, i super-ricchi e i precari spesso votano allo stesso modo, sostenendo lo status quo»

Abbiamo trattato il #declino come assistenza anziché #sviluppo, pagando il solo esodo ai giovani migliori.
Su Avvenire con Pietro Saccò spiego perché —come scritto nel mio libro di Donzelli, nato dall'energia di Filippo Barbera— serve un cambio di rotta.

Did you know 12% of the world’s top #researchers cluster in just four #cities? In our brand new paper (with Xiang & @neillee.bsky.social) in Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, the “flat world” is a gated archipelago. The #GlobalSouth remains excluded.

And help make Leiboyu a star scientist in the process! 😉

Scientific excellence is clustering ever more tightly in a few ‘superstar’ cities. Four—New York, Boston, London and the San Francisco Bay Area—now host 12% of the world's top scientists. In contrast....
