“…In order to determine the specialization of the region and to analyze changes in competitiveness over time, the classic method of shift-share analysis (SSA) was used. It was described by Dunn [1960] and then by Perloff et al [1960]. The classic shift-share equation for variable increments takes the form:…”

Aim: The study aimed to identify regional specialization and changes in competitiveness in the field of animal production in Poland. Methods: The analysis covered statistical data of the Central Statistical Office from 2010–2021 on a national scale and in individual voivodeships. The study used a comparative analysis of animal production in regional terms. In order to determine the specialization of the region and to analyze changes in competitiveness over time, the classic method of Shift-Share Analysis (SSA) was used. Results: Major changes are taking place in Poland in the stock of farm animals and the production of animals for slaughter. In the years 2010–2021, the pig stock decreased drastically, and the stock of cattle, especially for fattening and poultry, increased. Changes in livestock stock contributed to an increase in beef cattle and poultry production and a decrease in the production of live pigs. Conclusions: There is specialization in Poland, and the concentration of production of the most important livestock species in individual voivodeships is increasing. Specialization and concentration processes allow for more effective use of farm resources and greater competitiveness of regions. However, the accelerating concentration of production may threaten the sustainable development of agriculture and negatively affect the natural environment. Therefore, further research on the impact of specialization and concentration of animal production on food security and the natural environment is recommended.

“…Dunn never referred back to either his 1959 article or the comments on it by Rosenfeld (1959), the French mathematician who stated that none of the components in the shift-share model actually measured what they purported to, a point made again later by Esteban-Marquillas (1972). Dunn's model (Dunn 1960;Perloff et al 1960), became the accepted version of shift-share analysis and still continues in use. Consequently MacDougall's work, with its important discussion of which of the alternative weightings available should be used for computing aggregate growth rates, was forgotten.…”

Economic growth and restructuring in Canada's heartland and hinterland: From shift‐share to multifactor partitioning

The geography of the Canadian economy has long been dominated by heartland‐hinterland contrasts, with manufacturing identified as the dominant function of most heartland cities in analyses of the 1961 and 1971 census data. However, the proportion of employment in manufacturing has been declining in the heartland provinces of Ontario and Quebec over the past fifty years and some geographers argue that the heartland‐hinterland dimension of the regional economy is being overridden by city‐regions that are integrated into global networks of production and trade. The heartland‐hinterland trends are examined using multifactor partitioning (MFP), an advanced shift‐share methodology, for the period of 2001–2006. This is the first intercensal period in which Canadian business has faced the full impact of the removal of North American tariff protection and the increased globalization of the Canadian economy. The data covers employment by eighteen industry sectors for the seventy‐three economic regions defined by Statistics Canada. MFP measures the region and industry‐mix effects, which are interpreted as in the traditional shift‐share model (though they are derived more accurately) and, in addition, an interaction effect. The results demonstrate that the broad heartland‐hinterland differences in the distribution of population and employment growth are increasing not decreasing and that the hinterland is in fact falling further behind the heartland in employment growth. However the Calgary‐Edmonton corridor and the Lower Mainland of British Columbia are emerging as a western heartland. The population size of cities does affect their rates of employment growth, but so too does their location: the growth of heartland cities is outpacing those in the hinterland. The Appendix provides the equations for two‐variable multifactor partitioning.

“…Indeed, in her book, Through Times of Trouble , Matveeva (2017, pages 69–91) titled her chapter on the Donbas 'a much unloved powerhouse,' and in it, she explains how and why the region's transition to an industrialized economy from an agrarian economy was not accompanied by a corresponding transition, using Krugman's (1992) and Fujita et al's (1999) terms, to core from periphery. Much like the people of Appalachia in the United States, the people of the Donbas—representing about 15% of Ukraine's nearly 45 million—have been left behind, and this neglect exposes what is perhaps the root of the ongoing war: remote, resource‐laden areas have long been understood to be vulnerable to exploitation and/or elite capture (see Perloff et al, 1960 and Blas & Farchy, 2022, respectively, for historical and contemporary perspectives). Without justifying the violence in any way, shape, or form, the situation does help explain the fact, however unpleasant, that some of the Donbas' population and political leadership support Russian annexation: it is viewed as a means of de‐peripheralization.…”

This paper presents a case study of the Donbas region, located in eastern Ukraine, focusing on efforts to de‐peripheralize the region prior to and after the outbreak of violence that engulfed it with the Russian invasion in early 2022. It sets out to use the lens of regional science and its sibling field, peace science, to impose some structure for understanding the still ongoing war. It does this by developing an economic history of the Donbas and a conceptual model for thinking about conflict and conflict resolution there. The implications of the model are explored using data on public opinion from 2014, a time of great uncertainty in the region. The model is also used to consider various counterfactual scenarios, and ultimately, to highlight the manner in which a peaceful solution escaped and the region's future was shattered by war. Overall, the paper represents an attempt to use the perspective of regional science to understand a complex and shifting conflict in real time. The project was undertaken with the aspiration that, by adding to knowledge on the Donbas and helping to disseminate awareness of its situation, it may contribute to the eventual recovery of Ukraine and its people.
