Transport costs heavily influence milk movement in Ireland and can offer opportunities for greater efficiency. 4/4

Spatial Economic Analysis @spatialeconomic.bsky.social · May 7

Policy insight: shifting milk collection routes or upgrading processing capacity can rationalize overall market efficiency. 3/4

Spatial Economic Analysis @spatialeconomic.bsky.social · May 7

The space price equilibrium approach incorporates milk price variation, and argues that these impact transport and processing dynamics. 2/4

Spatial Economic Analysis @spatialeconomic.bsky.social · May 7

A new model of Ireland’s milk market captures how regional production, transport costs, and processing capacities interact to determine milk flows across the country. 1/4

The paper acknowledges emerging varieties of innovation maps, but also pushes for more work in three directions: Spatial analyses can capture innovation journeys, maps of innovation can be more inclusive and normative lenses can be used to account for the spatially uneven impact of innovation. 2/2

Spatial Economic Analysis @spatialeconomic.bsky.social · Apr 14

The article answers the questions:
- how we map innovation: maps are not descriptive exercises, they are powerful illustrations that capture and shape what we value
- Are maps of innovation capturing the changing perspectives on what innovation is and why it matters?

Mapping innovation in space

Mapping innovation in space is part and parcel of research on the geography of innovation. The maps we produce reflect both how we conceptualise innovation and the data and indicators we choose to ...

📐 MGWR results highlight distinct operational scales for violence-related covariates. Spatial scale differs substantially, suggesting nuanced spatial processes underpinning violent crime across Brazil.
