Études régionales

Résumé

vignette|348x348px|Le monde selon la BULAC - carte des familles de langues. David Poullard / BULAC Les études régionales (en anglais area studies ou regional studies) désignent un ensemble de domaines de recherche interdisciplinaires se rapportant à des régions géographiques ou culturelles particulières s'opposant ainsi aux études dites mondiales. Le terme existe principalement comme une description générale des nombreux domaines de recherche hétérogènes, englobant à la fois les sciences sociales et les sciences humaines. Les principales disciplines impliquées dans les études régionales sont les relations internationales, les études stratégiques, l'histoire, les sciences politiques, l'économie politique, les études culturelles, les langues, la géographie, la littérature et d'autres disciplines connexes. Les études régionales sont apparues dans le contexte de la guerre froide et ont pu être critiquées comme une approche mise au service des intérêts géopolitiques des grandes puissance

Numerical Simulation of Soil Moisture and Heat Transfer for Land-Atmosphere Exchange

Florian Habermacher

The exchange of moisture and heat between the land and the atmosphere is an area of major uncertainty in different fields of environmental research including global problems such as climate change and more local and regional studies such as the influence of changes of the landscape on the microclimate. With the goal of developing an improved representation of land-atmosphere exchange, a numerical soil moisture and heat (NSSMH) transfer model was developed that uses atmospheric conditions as the primary forcing to calculate heat fluxes between the soil and the overlying air. The model calculates vapor and liquid moisture transport as well as sensible heat transfer. In several tests the code was shown to be a useful tool for understanding the nature of the surface exchange phenomena. Among these, it was shown that during the afternoon when the soil surface is being heated by the sun, water vapor inside the soil column is flowing both downwards and upwards.

Does inventor centrality foster regional innovation? The case of the Swiss medical devices sector

Monica Coffano, Dominique Foray, Michele Pezzoni

Does inventor centrality foster regional innovation? The case of the Swiss medical devices sector. Regional Studies. This paper contributes an empirical analysis to the discussion of the impact of inventors' collaboration networks on regional innovation. More precisely, it investigates how inventors' degree centrality in the regional co-invention network, and inventors' cross-regional linkages, influence innovation in the Swiss medical devices sector. The results show that high values of inventor centrality and the presence of cross-regional linkages have mutually reinforcing effects on innovation. These findings provide insights for policy-makers designing policy to encourage regional innovation.

The geography of duplicated inventions: evidence from patent citations. Regional Studies. Innovators often claim inventions that turn out to duplicate, at least in part, existing ones. This paper advances the claim that for recent and upcoming inventions, competitive incentives are high, and localized knowledge flows increase the probability of duplication. Therefore, over a brief period of time the probability of duplication is higher at short geographical distance. Conversely, the duplication of less recent inventions is more likely at long distance as a consequence of a lower awareness of the existence of a technology. This claim is supported by coherent descriptive and multivariate evidence using data on patent citation categories from the European Patent Office (EPO).
