European Corridors as Carriers of Dynamic Agglomeration Externalities?

Transport corridors are viewed as a promising way forward in European Union (EU) transport policy, assumed to contribute positively to regional economic development. However, the validity of this assumption is not evident. The aim of this paper is to empirically test whether agglomeration economies in European transport corridor regions are positively related to indicators of regional economic development compared to regions outside the scope of corridors. The results build on the notion that the type of agglomeration economy in combination with the structure of the economy matters for prospects of structural economic growth in different regions. In this way, the analysis not only contributes to enhancing the empirical scrutiny of the corridor concept in EU transport policy, but also provides new insights into how corridors contribute to regional economic growth. We find only limited evidence for a corridor effect across European regions on productivity and employment growth externalities. Instead, we find a large degree of spatial heterogeneity interacting with corridors—a heterogeneity that has been little recognized in EU policies. We suggest that recent attention to place-based development strategies may accord well with the kinds of agglomeration effects related to corridor development observed in this study.

实现保护性再利用的旧址博物馆

旧址博物馆是指利用特殊的空间来展示社会发展、事件发生、人物活动历史瞬间的博物馆,其中历史建筑旧址博物馆、名人故居旧址博物馆、工业遗产旧址博物馆等均是重要的表现形式。充分挖掘这些旧址博物馆的文化内涵,展示建筑旧址的文化面貌及特色,探索保护旧址博物馆真实遗存、历史环境的有效方式,从而实现对旧址博物馆文化遗产的合理再利用等课题,在当前具有重要的意义。
