Spatial aspects of recruitment behaviour of firms: an empirical investigation
Firm's recruitment strategies and channels of recruitment are addressed in relation to the spatial search radius for new employees. A new statistical model is developed in order to investigate the impact of different recruitment strategies
on the probability of a match between the vacant position and an applicant located at a given distance from the firm. The model is tested by means of a micro data set on the recruitment behaviour of Dutch firms.

Social networks and regional recruitment of foreign labour : firm recruitment methods and spatial sorting in Denmark
The paper tests the hypothesis that social networks are crucial for regional recruitment and inflows of foreign labour. Danish municipal data from 1997-2006 reveal spatial sorting since initial shares of employees with a foreign background out
of total regional employment predict foreign labour inflow rates to regional employment. Social networks appear crucial for the recruitment and inflows rates to regional employment, suggesting that employee referrals and information about vacancies in local

This paper seeks to understand the relationship between air temperature change and annual stem recruitment of the Betula ermanii population at the local scale in the upper treeline, based on data between 1953 and 2008 from field observations, tree
-ring analysis, and meteorological station records, and using statistical analysis and mathematical simulation. Different propagation forms and annual stem recruitment of the Betula ermanii population responded significantly to the increase of air
temperature. Under global warming, the population expansion and the domain enlargement of Betula ermanii led to a treeline shift. The population has continued to vary its physiological traits to adapt to air temperature change.

Demersal species distributions were studied in relation to the dynamics and water masses patterns in the bay of Biscay and Celtic Sea. Well-defined mesoscale cyclonic-anticyclonic patterns and their links with the hake recruitment distribution
For a population of 31 small island states, this paper explores to what extent geography is reflected in the political architecture of legislatures that these political units choose to apply. It searches for possible effects of territorial
noncontiguity on federalism and bicameralism as well as the extent to which parliaments are recruited by means of apportionment and appointment. Although geography does not explain the totality of politics, it does affect the calculations and behaviour
Labor recruitment in Taiwan: a corporate strategy in industrial restructuring
This paper is based on a recent nationwide survey concerning industrial responses to rising labor costs and shortages. Four types of corporate strategies are discussed: the recruitment of part-time workers, the importation of foreign workers
Fire history and tree recruitment in an uncut New England forest
This paper describes the fire history of the Battell Research Forest (BRF), in Vermont, recorded by the age distributions of living and dead trees and by fire scars. The results illustrate a fire cycle that has controlled the recruitment

of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). A net gain in total population size occurred over the study period as the result of periodic fluctuations in recruitment and mortality, broadly congruent with annual variations in summer and winter temperatures
The study was carried out in the Handölan valley in the southern Swedish Scandes. Annual censures were undertaken of recruitment, mortality, growth, seed viability, and causes of mortality during the period 1973-2012 in a set of 18 permanent plots
Fluvial geomorphological analysis of the recruitment of large woody debris in the Yalobusha River network, Central Mississippi, USA
This study focuses on reaches that are the most critical from a large woody debris (LWD) management perspective. An example management application is provided whereby the calculated LWD recruitment for each reach is used to predict the potential
significance of the LWD recruitment in terms of debris dam formation. From this basis, rational management decisions may be taken. The overall accuracy of the model is largely dependent on 3 factors, namely : bank-stability analysis, knickpoint dimensions
