; The mobility of highly qualified people is a major issue for regional development and represents a matter of particular concern for peripheral regions, which tend to be characterized by the out migration of their graduates (brain drain). While regional policies have traditionally focused on the labor market and framework conditions in order to foster territorial development, a new kind of instrument is emerging: the regional social network. This approach to policymaking no longer considers highly qualified people leaving their home region as a loss, but sees them as potential resources to be mobilized and capitalized at a distance. Based on six case studies, this paper elaborates a typology of regional social networks and analyzes their governance and management. It situates this new approach in a more general debate on regional innovation policies with regard to the specific needs of peripheral regions in a time of growing spatial mobility and the ubiquitous use of e-technologies. - PublicationAccès libreThe real estate markets : Players, institutions and territories(2014)
; ; Revealing the parties, the processes and the institutions and, consequently, both the diversity and contingency of the real estate markets, the existing increasing literature emphasises the contemporary numerous links and interdependencies between real estate, land value, planning and town planning policy and even the financial system. This paper is an attempt to understand all the real estate markets, from the most peripheral ones, where the urban rent is the lowest, to the most dense city centres. To gain a better understanding of the real estate market, a process of firstly deconstruction and then reconstruction is used. The process of deconstruction involves identifying various market trends according to property type (principally residential buildings), players and institutions, territorial situations and temporalities based on research conducted in Switzerland. We then developed a meta-synthesis inspired by Fernand Braudel whose works put as much emphasis on day-to-day economic activity as on long-term activity, and on local as well as global issues. - PublicationAccès libreThe Out-Migration of Young Rural University Graduates : Macro Flows and Micro Motives(2014)This paper addresses the migration of young graduates who do not go back to their rural home region after having attended university. Results from a case study in Switzerland show the need for research to combine a macro approach (analysis of the geography of graduates’ migration flows) with a micro approach (analysis of the motives reported by graduates), since self-reported motives are crucial to interpreting what is hidden behind the macro results.
The results from this case study indicate that graduates are attracted to urban settings not only for the labour market, but also for the living environment and social ties. The results also highlight the fact that migration decisions cannot be reduced to a single dimension. They are complex (in the sense that motives of several natures are involved in combination) and diverse (as differences are found within even a seemingly homogeneous population group). Although work is a central factor motivating the out-migration of graduates, the importance of social ties and residential amenities is also clear. - PublicationAccès libre
