We mistake #coworking for a real estate play when it is actually a subtle engine of human capital. Writing in @regionalstudies.bsky.social, @zihanwang.bsky.social, Fai, @prt1969.bsky.social, Barzotto & Ehrhardt argue that these spaces provide the vital scaffolding for skills. doi.org/10.1080/0034...

New @regionalstudies.bsky.social: A critical review of the UK's Modern Industrial Strategy: lessons for ‘place-based’ policy + @lisadepropris.bsky.social Chris Dimos, Felicia Fai, @sallyhardy.bsky.social & @prt1969.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Beyond the agglomeration orthodoxy: rethinking industrial strategy. With Paul Hildreth. Part of a blockbuster new @cssjournal.bsky.social special issue on the return of industrial strategy. @prt1969.bsky.social @ukandeu.bsky.social

What will the budget mean for economic growth? Experts give their view, with Professor Phil Tomlinson (@prt1969.bsky.social) discussing investment in infrastructure and industry. Read the blog post here: buff.ly/DphY8nO

What might be the implications of a pay-per-mile tax on electric vehicles? In a new blog post, @dgbailey.bsky.social & @prt1969.bsky.social discuss the policy and how careful implementation will be essential for fairness and maintaining support for the green transition. buff.ly/N1IVYdD

UK plans for pay-per-mile electric vehicle tax could make the system fairer – or provoke a fierce backlash. New @uk.theconversation.com piece + @prt1969.bsky.social @ukandeu.bsky.social theconversation.com/uk-plans-for...

Neat framing, but incorrect. Moving the focus of taxation from income to wealth (increasing fuel duties/ introducing road pricing) would be politically difficult but economically sensible. Removing cliff edges would be politically easy and economically sensible. Details matter but principles clear.

The unravelling of Reform's xenophobic and half-baked proposals on ILR would be ideal time for Govt to say its own proposals, which I described as "not just unfair and vindictive, but economically irrational" will *not* apply retrospectively to migrants already here. ukandeu.ac.uk/immigration_...

This makes a lot of sense.

A perfect illustration of the trade offs involved in government. Do ministers want to keep down drug prices to help the NHS budget or to raise them to attract and retain Big Pharma which plays a central role in the industrial strategy? on.ft.com/4gkaC8P

New @uk.theconversation.com piece with @opsprof.bsky.social @uniofbath.bsky.social on #datacentres @uniofbathipr.bsky.social @regionalstudies.bsky.social 👇🏼 theconversation.com/the-economic...

Initially the benefits of the IT revolution were reasonably widely dispersed, but as the 2000s progressed, competition decreased and they began to be increasingly captured by a handful of huge tech firms, exactly as economic theory would predict. And those tech firms were all based in the US

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

New Paper Alert: CGR&IS Co-Directors @fmfai.bsky.social @prt1969.bsky.social & co-authors explore the relevance of #AlfredMarshall's #industrialdistricts for understanding #coworkingspace #communities. #Openaccess @uniofbathnews.bsky.social @regstud.bsky.social 👇 academic.oup.com/cje/advance-...

Treating #coworking as just real estate misses the point. Like the Italian industrial districts of old, its potential lies, according to @fmfai.bsky.social, Tomlinson, Barzotto & Labory, in #community: in rituals, norms, solidarities too soft to model, yet vital. doi.org/10.1093/cje/...
