Visit and seminar lecture at the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Spatial Economics (CEnSE)

During Jan Cornelius Peters' stay at CEnSE the focus was on a mutual exchange about current research projects. The researchers at CEnSE are working on similar topics to those of us at the Thünen Institute for Rural Economics. “CEnSE is a multi-disciplinary research institute that conducts applied research relating to issues of entrepreneurship and business renewal, regional development and growth, and the interrelation between urban and rural areas. A substantial part of CEnSE´s research addresses policy-relevant problems, for example, how accessibility affects regional growth and the way entrepreneurial and innovative processes in business and society are dependent on knowledge and creativity. The project portfolio of CEnSE contains both research of general applicability and projects that are directed towards specific stakeholders.” (https://ju.se/center/cense/about-us.html)

During his stay, Jan Cornelius Peters also presented a new research paper with Annekatrin Niebuhr (Institute for Employment Research, Kiel University) and Duncan Roth (Institute for Employment Research, IZA) at the Brown Bag Seminar in Economics and Finance at Jönköping International Business School (JIBS). Building on a previous study recently published in Regional Science and Urban Economics, Annekatrin Niebuhr, Jan Cornelius Peters and Duncan Roth further explore the links between the spatial distribution of economic activity, the type of work experience that workers accumulate at different locations and spatial differences in wage growth over individual working lives.
