  • The local construction of social enterprise markets : an evaluation of Jens Beckert’s field approach
  • Cooperation ; England ; Firm ; Governance ; Market ; Organization ; Social enterprise ; Theory ; United Kingdom
  • This article examines the local construction of social enterprise markets through an evaluation of Jens Beckert’s field approach. To do so, it describes the reciprocal interactions between forces of institutions, networks, and cognitive frameworks
  • as they serve to construct opportunities for social enterprises (SEs) in Liverpool, Birmingham, Southampton, and the London Borough of Newham. This analysis suggests that Beckert’s approach helps to move beyond a singular notion of a single ‘market logic
  • ’ and allows us to unpack some of the hybrid character of SE markets. However, because of the way in the field perspective has been designed to explain agency in orthodox capitalist markets, it struggles to incorporate the motivations that drive agency

  • Based on a behavioral assumption regarding how retailers act when purchasing products from wholesale trade firms in Sweden, the AA. create alternative markets using Voronoi diagrams. They then compare the empirical results of investigating
  • the determinants of firm entry using municipalities as the relevant markets with the results obtained using Voronoi markets. The results indicate that, in both cases, the same variables are statistically significant in affecting entry, though the estimated effects

  • Economic equilibrium ; Finland ; Helsinki ; Housing ; Housing cost ; Housing market ; Land ; Land market ; Land value ; Supply
  • This article hypothesises that, due to factors such as thin trading and lack of publicly available data on transactions in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area land market, urban land prices react more sluggishly to shocks in market fundamentals than
  • housing prices do. The results suggest that new information regarding the market fundamentals is more rapidly reflected in housing prices than in land prices. Nevertheless, it is the housing price level, instead of land prices, that adjusts towards

  • Decayed neighbourhood ; Gated community ; Housing market ; Lithuania ; Social status ; Socio-economic indicators ; Urban area ; Urban geography ; Vilnius
  • The article provides an overview about the new tendencies on the Lithuanian housing market shedding light on the development of the gated and guarded neighbourhoods (GGNs). Field surveys and interviews with developers, residents as well as local
  • planning authorities in Vilnius and its surroundings provide the basis of discussion about the fencing phenomenon. Can this phenomenon be explained by such factors like socio-economic segregation in the city, extensive marketing or a specific niche
  • on the market? The research results show that gated neighbourhoods are established not only because of the need to prevent residents from violence or to show their social status but also to protect their lives from the chaotic and socially unstable outside world

  • of the city. The discourses of obsolescence that have emerged in Sydney are clearly informed by market-centric ideology and discursively constructed, not in the presence of an anemic state and a rational market, but as a technology of power that is deployed
  • by the state and serves the interests of powerful market actors. He concludes that this discursive process is leading to the demise of Sydney’s public housing estates.

Market impacts on land-use change : an agent-based experiment
  • Market impacts on land-use change : an agent-based experiment
  • Land ; Land market ; Land use ; Rural area ; Urban fragmentation ; Urban sprawl
  • This article examines the effects of the level of detail of market representation using an abstract, agent-based model of land-use change. This research confirms that budget constraints can considerably reduce the projected quantity of land-use
  • change. The effects of competitive bidding, however, are more complex and depend on buyers’ budgets, their relative preferences for proximity versus open-space amenities, and the size of neighborhoods. Because of the strong effects of market elements
  • on resulting patterns, adequate representation of the structure of markets is important for capturing and characterizing the complexity inherent in coupled human–environment systems.
