Spatial accessibility to food banks hinders food parcel uptake in England and Wales, particularly in rural areas
Laura Sheppard, Carmen Cabrera, Daphne Badounas +7
Food bank use in the UK has soared in recent years. The combination of a global pandemic, over-stretched and underfunded public services, and a cost-of-living crisis has meant that…
Deciphering the global production network from cross-border firm transactions
Neave O'Clery, Ben Radcliffe-Brown, Thomas Spencer +1
Critical for policy-making and business operations, the study of global supply chains has been severely hampered by a lack of detailed data. Here we harness international firm-leve…
A causal evaluation of Bogota's cable car illustrates the transformative potential of mobile phone data for policy analysis
Elena Lutz, Sam Heroy, David Kaufmann +1
Transport infrastructure is vital to the functioning of cities. However, assessing the impact of transport policies on urban mobility and behaviour is often costly and time-consumi…
Industrial complexity and the evolution of formal employment in developing cities
Neave O'Clery, Juan Chaparro, Andres Gomez-Lievano +1
What drives formal employment creation in developing cities? We find that larger cities, home to an abundant set of complex industries, employ a larger share of their working age p…
American cities are defined by isolated rings and pockets characterized by limited socio-economic mixing
Andrew Renninger, Neave O'Clery, Elsa Arcaute
Cities generate gains from interaction, but citizens often experience segregation as they move around the urban environment. Using GPS location data, we identify four distinct patt…
Are neighbourhood amenities associated with more walking and less driving? Yes, but only for the wealthy
Samuel Heroy, Isabella Loaiza, Alex Pentland +1
Cities are home to a vast array of amenities, from local barbers to science museums and shopping malls. But these are inequality distributed across urban space. Using Google Places…
Uncovering commercial activity in informal cities
Daniel Straulino, Juan C. Saldarriaga, Jairo A. Gómez +2
Knowledge of the spatial organisation of economic activity within a city is key to policy concerns. However, in developing cities with high levels of informality, this information…
The role of relatedness and strategic linkages between domestic and MNE sectors in regional branching and resilience
Mattie Landman, Sanna Ojanperä, Stephen Kinsella +1
Despite the key role of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in both international markets and domestic economies, there is no consensus on their impact on their host economy. In parti…
Is academia becoming more localised? The growth of regional knowledge networks within international research collaboration
John Fitzgerald, Sanna Ojanperä, Neave O'Clery
It is well-established that the process of learning and capability building is core to economic development and structural transformation. Since knowledge is `sticky', a key compon…
Modelling COVID-19 transmission in supermarkets using an agent-based model
Fabian Ying, Neave O'Clery
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early March 2020, UK supermarkets have implemented different policies to reduce the virus transmission in stores to protect both customers and sta…
A bi-directional approach to comparing the modular structure of networks
Daniel Straulino, Mattie Landman, Neave O'Clery
Here we propose a new method to compare the modular structure of a pair of node-aligned networks. The majority of current methods, such as normalized mutual information, compare tw…
COVID-19 policy analysis: labour structure dictates lockdown mobility behaviour
Samuel Heroy, Isabella Loaiza, Alexander Pentland +1
Countries and cities around the world have resorted to unprecedented mobility restrictions to combat Covid-19 transmission. Here we exploit a natural experiment whereby Colombian c…
Modular structure in labour networks reveals skill basins
Neave O'Clery, Stephen Kinsella
There is an emerging consensus in the literature that locally embedded capabilities and industrial know-how are key determinants of growth and diversification processes. In order t…
Unravelling the forces underlying urban industrial agglomeration
Neave O'Clery, Samuel Heroy, Francois Hulot +1
As early as the 1920's Marshall suggested that firms co-locate in cities to reduce the costs of moving goods, people, and ideas. These 'forces of agglomeration' have given rise, fo…
Global Network Prediction from Local Node Dynamics
Neave O'Clery, Ye Yuan, Guy-Bart Stan +1
The study of dynamical systems on networks, describing complex interactive processes, provides insight into how network structure affects global behaviour. Yet many methods for net…
Productive Ecosystems and the Arrow of Development
Neave O'Clery, Muhammed A. Yildirim, Ricardo Hausmann
Economic growth is often associated with diversification of economic activities. Making a product in a country is dependent on having, and acquiring, the capabilities needed to mak…
Graph partitions and cluster synchronization in networks of oscillators
Michael T. Schaub, Neave O'Clery, Yazan N. Billeh +3
Synchronization over networks depends strongly on the structure of the coupling between the oscillators. When the coupling presents certain regularities, the dynamics can be coarse…
