THE FUTURE OF SPATIAL ECONOMETRICS*

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we give an overview of the general direction the spatial econometrics literature has taken without attempting to provide a representative survey of all interesting work that has appeared. Second, we identify a number of problems in spatial econometrics that are as yet unresolved. Finally, we provide advocacy for the notion that new spatial econometric theory should be inspired by actual empirical applications as opposed to being directed by what appears to be the most obvious extension of what is currently available.     

世界城市的未来及面临的区域政策问题

本文介绍J·弗雷得曼近来从城市管理学派的观点对世界城市的发展未来作的一些评述。认为世界城市的发展原因应当从城市区域的空间组织、区域政府管理、区域持续发展问题、社区民众在国家内地位的上升、城市移民问题、城市内部网络等几个方面考虑,21世纪仍然是城市贸易与竞争的时代,亚太社会和城市的未来都会取决于全球化动力,世界城市的未来将取决于城市管理者、政治家的观念和务实精神。     

ANALYSIS OF THEORETICAL,METHODOLOGICAL AND EMPIRICAL RESEARCH IN THE JOURNAL OF REGIONAL SCIENCE*

ABSTRACT. This paper examines the impacts of JRS articles in the areas of theory, methods and empirical analysis, as represented by subsequent citations reported in the Social Sciences Citation Index. A model relating the mix of theoretical, methodological and empirical research published in the JRS to subsequent citations is estimated. The time distribution of theoretical and empirical citations also indicates that the knowledge diffusion process in these two areas may be segmented.     

AGING NATIONS AND THE FUTURE OF CITIES*

ABSTRACT We investigate whether an aging population may challenge the supremacy of large working cities. To this end, we develop an economic geography model with two types of individuals (workers and retirees) and two sectors (local services and manufacturing). Workers produce and consume; the elderly consume only. As a result, the mobility decision of workers is driven by both the wage gap and the cost‐of‐living gap, unlike the elderly who react to the differences in the cost of living only. We show that the return of pre‐industrial urban system dominated by rentier cities does not seem to be on the agenda. Quite the opposite, the future of large working cities is still bright, the reason being that today's urban costs act as a strong force that prevents a large share of local services and manufacturing firms from following the rentiers in the elderly cities, while the supply of differentiated b2c services impede their complete separation.     

AN ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT APPLICATIONS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS OF OBSIDIAN SOURCING STUDIES IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH*

This paper thematically characterizes a large body of recent obsidian sourcing discourse as a means of highlighting the current place of obsidian provenance studies in larger archaeological discourse. It is shown that the field of obsidian sourcing is flourishing, with a clear upward trend in the number of published studies in the past decade. This paper further argues that sourcing is a means to an end, a way to determine where artefacts originate, and thus a means of addressing broader archaeological problems. Through this contextual framework, obsidian sourcing studies—and indeed all provenance studies—are seen as relevant because they transcend the increasingly specialized world of archaeological discourse.     

面向国家未来的中国人文地理学研究方向的思考

中国人文地理学经过近半个多世纪的复兴与发展,对国家经济社会发展做出了重大贡献。在新的时代背景下,中国人文地理学的发展仍要继续围绕人地关系地域系统这一核心,树立人地和谐的科学发展观,进一步深化人地关系理论及研究方法,把人地关系的研究向纵深层次推进,发展面向国家战略需求和实践应用的人文地理学,构建完善的中国特色人文地理学学科体系。突出新的实践形式,把全球化与本土化、全国化与地方化、工业化与城市化、一体化与同城化、中心化与空心化、信息化与可视化、生态化与低碳化、科学化与现代化作为中国人文地理学未来研究的8大方向。在人文地理学科建设过程中,敢于挑战经典理论,尤其是西方传统的经典理论,敢于直面现实,学会向权力讲授真理,敢于当科学勇士,倡导科学精神,不可变成官场的奴隶。     

THE EMPIRE OF THE FUTURE

This rich collection analyzes science in the archives over the past several thousand years. The chapters work together to tell stories of ambitious attempts to provide timeless data for science, which will be used for generations to come—ranging from ancient astronomy to geology to life‐logging and the development of web search. They also demonstrate convincingly that archives are powerful forces across the sciences—every science discussed has an archival base—which partly determine what kind of general knowledge claims can be made by future generations: it is hard to read an archive askance. The collection works best as a series of individual chapters, though some work is done to indicate where they speak to one another. It is a pity that there was not more input from archivists themselves in the project: their noninclusion means that some archival issues (especially what goes on with data after it gets into the archive—how it gets cleaned up, changed, reorganized) are treated somewhat lightly. The collection does provide a very useful set of tools for thinking about scientific archives. It is also an excellent introduction to the peculiarities of scientific archives—one that reflects back on the use of archives in history in general.     

中关村科技园区创意基地型园区发展研究

中关村科技园区以德胜园、雍和园、石景山园为代表,规划建设创意基地型园区,这对北京市加快文化创意产业发展、积极参与国际创意产业分工等具有重要意义。本文在分析创意基地型园区的基本情况并借鉴国际经验的基础上,指出中关村科技园区创意基地型园区存在的主要问题,并探讨了促进其发展的对策。本文认为中关村科技园区创意基地型园区的发展应侧重于四个方面:为园区提供"新生"的产业发展空间、供给适应创意产业发展需要的特殊基础结构、构造创意产业集群并形成完整的产业链、注重园区之间错位发展。
