AUTONOMA - Quirino Spinelli - Refugee Spaces within the Contemporary European...Autonoma Conference
The increase of asylum seekers in Europe determines the demand for new spaces that must firstly fulfill the reception in response to emergency conditions. The regulation of the phenomenon is at the center of the Agenda of the European Union that, on September 22 2015, scheduled to place hundred and twenty thousand refugees. What I would like to point out here is that this issue is deeply urban because it is changing the city through the new ways in which the city is inhabited.
In Turin, the phenomenon assumes particularly interesting characters. Immigration policies, operating within the institutional programs, come up beside the initiatives promoted by the political activism that is attempting to build a parallel model of self-managed care and protection. Both the forms face the same condition of poverty alongside the many other dimensions of poverty that are now strongly visible again within the city. Self-managed initiatives, however, appear to have a greater ability to occupy abandoned or hardly used spaces.
The Olympic Village is one of these spaces: for its size and characteristics, it is now a real urban camp. The Village hosts a sort of self-managed enclave whose spaces are governed and regulated to ensure protection and safety. Here, commercial activities are regulated by a micro-credit system, cultural and recreational activities are promoted through specific programs, there is a school, a space dedicated to legal advice, to health care and professional training.
Within the framework of policies for refugees, the Olympic Village seems to stage a poor way of living that aims to be exemplary as it expresses so many virtues in managing conditions of scarcity and exhibiting economic emancipation. Observing this contradictory place can help us to reflect about the European City, the ways it is changing and its ability to integrate and exclude.

FDI and Superstar Spillovers: Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Transactions - Amit...OECD CFE
FDI and Superstar Spillovers: Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Transactions
Mary AMITI (FED New York, United States)
Despite competition concerns over the increasing dominance of global corporations, many argue that productivity spillovers from multinationals to domestic firms justify pro-FDI policies. For the first time, we use firm-to-firm transaction data in a developed country to examine the impact of forming a new relationship with a multinational, and find a TFP increase of about 8% three or more years after the event. Sales to other buyers, trade and customer quality also increase. However, we also document that starting to supply other “superstar firms” such as those who heavily export or are very large also increases performance by similar amounts, even if the superstar is a non-multinational. Placebos on starting relationships with smaller firms and novel identification strategies relying solely on demand shocks to superstar firms support a causal interpretation. In addition to productivity spillovers, we document the transmission of “relationship capabilities” and “dating agency” effects as the increase in new buyers is particularly strong within the superstar firm’s existing network. These results suggest an important role for raising productivity through the supply chains of superstar firms regardless of their multinational status.

Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level - A...OECD CFE
Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level
Alessandro ALASIA, Dennis HUYNH (Statistics Canada)
In Canada, there is limited analysis on industry locations at the neighbourhood level; location and co-location of industries have been assessed primarily at the regional scale which results in an information gap for businesses. Recent evidence suggests that businesses do not just choose a city for their location, they choose specific business districts within a metropolitan area. Recent improvements in the geolocation of business microdata allow to address the information gap. This work, undertaken as part of the Business Data Lab and in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, is a first attempt to map industry locations at the neighbourhood level in major metropolitan areas of Canada. Using establishment-level microdata from the Business Register, we apply spatial kernel density estimations to identify neighbourhoods with high employment/revenue density for selected industries (2-digit NAICS) and industry clusters (grouping of 6-digits NAICS). The geographic delineation of business districts within metropolitan areas is the first step in understanding the evolution of industry location and co-location over time, and assessing local business dynamics at the neighbourhood level. Ultimately, these business districts can be analyzed in combination with additional data sources (e.g., mobility and road traffic) to derive further economic insights.

Advancing and democratizing business data in Canada- Patrick Gill & Stephen TappOECD CFE
Democratizing data through innovative data governance and visualizations
Patrick GILL, Stephen TAPP (Chambers of Commerce, Canada)
Small organizations in Canada struggle with accessing and leveraging data on business conditions and trends. These organizations have expressed difficulty in knowing what is available, accessing it and converting this information into actionable insights. To empower small organizations with more business-related information and insights, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has built a suite of free tools that merge and visualize traditional statistics with powerful high-frequency data sets (e.g. payments and mobility). This work is enabled by innovate data governance (e.g. a data trust) and a collaborative partnership with Statistics Canada. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is continuing work with Statistics Canada to release more local business information available through the agency’s Business Register (e.g. the mapping of local business districts), and is exploring how Generative AI can support small organizations’ navigation and understanding of the business information it has curated.

Thanks to a unique combination of administrative and survey data matched to the Estonian VAT data, this project studies how information on transaction data can shed light on industrial policy making, through two different angles: 1/ Improving the understanding of the production network, industrial ecosystems and the relevant unit of analysis for industrial policy design and 2/ An application to the diffusion of the green and digital transitions, showing the role of production network in technology diffusion and how this can be leveraged to increase policy effectiveness.

Horizon 2020 - research networks across borders - Rupert KawkaOECD CFE
Involvement of rural regions in European research networks
Rupert KAWKA, Torsten SCHUNDER (Federal Office for Building and regional Planning, Germany)
This study investigates the distribution of the European Union's Horizon 2020 funding programme on rural and urban regions between 2014 and 2020 and the resulting urban-rural links. Leveraging the Horizon 2020-database covering the 2014-20 programming period, which encompasses data on approximately 35,000 funded projects involving nearly 180,000 partners, the paper explores the participation of rural firms and organisations in the broader European research framework. By integrating the urban-rural classification of NUTS 3 regions, the research addresses key questions concerning the involvement of rural regions in Horizon 2020 projects, the structural differences in projects with and without rural participation, and the dynamics of urban-rural collaboration in research. The study further aims to identify potential clusters of rural innovation hubs across Europe and assess spatial disparities.

How can the social and solidarity economy help refugees along their journey?OECD CFE
Forcibly displaced people fleeing violent conflict and other forms of persecution find support from the social and solidarity economy (SSE) along their pathways, from their country of origin to asylum protection. The numbers are growing and new OECD work sheds light on how the specific values and characteristics of SSE entities provide high-quality responses to refugee needs and facilitate integration in host communities.
The SSE can support access to rights, empowerment, social and labour market inclusion of refugees. Join this webinar with the UNHCR, SINGA and NESsT Poland to discover how the SSE plays a role in the steps along the way of refugee’s journey.
