- 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 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. However, the vast majority of this research only looks at major cities, neglecting other areas. The aim of this article is to gain a better understanding of the real estate market through a process firstly of deconstruction and then reconstruction. 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 libre
