Title: What do we think are the most important journals for regional science?
Abstract: Institute for the Environment and Regional Development Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration* (Paper first received, September 2006; in final form, November 2006) Abstract This paper reports the results of a survey conducted among regional scientists about what they regard as the most important journals for work in the discipline. The survey was conducted online and generated 740 responses, mostly from European scholars. The paper shows a strong consensus in the (European) regional science community on the top journals for the discipline. Particularly, the top position is almost always occupied by the same journal, irrespective of the method applied, or the way in which the sample is subdivided. Marked differences can only be found among countries, particularly between European countries on the one hand, and the USA and Japan on the other. When the results were correlated with the impact factors of the journals, support could not be found for a positive correlation. Correlation coefficients were small, insignificant, and mostly negative. Keywords: regional science journals; rankings; citations vs usefulness. JEL-classification codes: R10.

Title: The empirics of spatial competition: evidence from european regions
Abstract: The Empirics of Spatial Competition: Evidence from European Regions (by N?stor Duch) - ABSTRACT: Brown Department of Econometrics, Statistics and Spanish Economy, Universitat de Barcelona1 (Paper first received, October 2005; in final form, September 2006) Abstract The New Economic Geography literature allows detailed analysis of the factors that determine the location decisions of firms in integrated markets. However, the competitive process is modelled in a rather rudimentary way, and the empirical evidence has usually been obtained from reduced-form econometric specifications. This study describes a structural model that takes into account strategic interactions between firms. It investigates the relationship between the degree of perceived competition not only from local firms, but also from distant firms in other regions and geographic concentration, and compares the results with classical spatial conjectures. The results indicate that, in aggregate terms, firms face stronger competition from local rivals than from firms in other regions. Moreover, they confirm that greater geographical concentration of production reduces market power, owing to the intensification of local competition; however, its impact on production costs is unclear. Keywords: spatial competition, agglomeration, conjectural variations. JEL-classification codes: F15, L11, L23, R15.

Title: Towards an interpretation of economic inequality in rural areas: a conceptual and empirical approach
Abstract: Towards an Interpretation of Economic Inequality in Rural Areas: a Conceptual and Empirical Approach (by Gaetano Martino and Cristiano Perugini) - ABSTRACT: Department of Economic Sciences and Rural Appraisal, University of Perugia 1 Department of Economics, Finance and Statistics, University of Perugia 2 (Paper first received, April 2005; in final form, April 2006) Abstract Economic inequality among European regions has been widely investigated, and a large number of empirical results have extended theoretical knowledge on the matter. Rural economies represent an important part of European capitalism, but there is insufficient evidence of distributional diversities arising from an urban-rural comparative approach. This paper tests the assumption that one of the characteristics of rural economies is relatively reduced inequality. Empirical analysis of the incomes of Italian households supports this hypothesis. It also suggests that further research may enrich the characterisation of rural development patterns and knowledge about the factors influencing income distribution structures and dynamics. Keywords: income inequality, rural systems, economic diversity, social relations. JEL-classification codes: D31, R11, O15.
