Raising the bar (6). Spatial Economic Analysis. This editorial summarizes and comments on the papers published in issue 12(4) so as to raise the bar in applied spatial economic research and highlight new trends. The first paper addresses the question of whether 'jobs follow people' or 'people follow jobs'. The second paper develops a new methodology to determine functional regions. The third paper is a major contribution to the growing literature on new modelling approaches and applications of disaster impact models. The fourth paper focuses on the costs and benefits of higher education. The fifth paper develops a two-step procedure to identify endogenously spatial regimes in the first step using geographically weighted regression, and to account for spatial dependence in the second step. Finally, the sixth paper estimates a dynamic spatial panel data model to explain house prices and to show that restricted housing supply in the city of Cambridge, UK, has some undesirable labour market effects. KEYWORDS labour market areas, disasters, education, house prices, spatial econometrics 摘要 提高标准(六)。Spatial Economic Analysis. 此一编辑评论概要并评析第十二期第四辑所发表的文章,从 而提高应用空间经济研究的标准,并强调崭新的趋势。第一篇文章处理有关"人随工作"或"工作随人"的 问题。第二篇文章发展定义功能区域的崭新方法。第三篇文章对于灾害影响模型的崭新模式化方法及应 用此类成长中的文献作出重大贡献。第四篇文章聚焦高等教育的成本与效益。第五篇文章发展一种指认 内生空间体制的二阶段方法:第一阶段运用地理加权的迴归,并在第二阶段考量空间依赖。最后,第六 篇文章评估动态空间面板数据模型,以解释住房价格,并展现英国剑桥城市中的有限住房供给,对于劳 动市场产生若干不利的影响。 关键词 劳动市场区域, 灾害, 教育, 住房价格, 空间计量经济学 RÉSUMÉ Hausser la barre (6).
