ESSPIN - ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND SPATIAL INEQUALITIES IN EUROPE IN THE ERA OF GLOBAL MEGA-TRENDS

地平线欧洲“全球大趋势时代欧洲的经济、社会和空间不平等”(ESSPIN)项目了解不平等并设计解决不平等的公共政策。ESSPIN项目探索欧洲社会、经济和空间不平等之间的关系。该项目审查了社会经济不平等的类型、性质和演变，目的是根据新出现的大趋势和全球挑战，评估旨在解决这些不平等的公共政策的组合。该项目由地平线欧洲研究计划资助，由来自10个不同欧盟国家和英国的13所欧洲大学组成的多学科和跨学科联盟参与，总预算为300万欧元。新旧变革动力可能会与平衡增长和社会空间韧性背道而驰。ESSPIN项目探索政策应对措施，提供能够使其更具包容性和有效性的新证据。该项目采用整体和综合的方法来检测、建模和绘制不同不平等驱动因素、机会和结果之间的相互依赖关系，提供量身定制的政策建议。由里卡多·克雷森齐教授和西蒙娜·伊姆马里诺教授领导的伦敦经济学院将协调第三套工作方案(WP3)的活动，重点是“市场上不平等驱动因素与其他过程的相互联系及其跨社会群体和空间尺度的影响。”WP3着眼于机构、市场结构、技术和全球化(特别是贸易和外国直接投资)的重大转变对不同社会和空间尺度上的不平等的影响。WP3将审查它们对经济、社会和空间不平等的独立影响，但也包括综合影响。分析将把驱动因素与结果联系起来，但也会将不同类型的不平等相互联系起来。收入水平、生活条件或贫困的不平等将与不同社会和空间环境中的观念、性别、种族或民族背景的不平等有关。伦敦经济学院单位将与其他合作伙伴合作，在一些关键领域进行新的研究。首先，将探讨技术变革及其对地区差距、城乡差距和当地劳动力市场的影响。其次，伦敦政治经济学院还将与其他合作伙伴一起，研究在技术创造、创新和制度方面的不同制度下，全球化对社会和空间不平等的影响。第三，将探讨全球风险投资和外国直接投资对企业、工人和地方的影响，特别是地方集聚、数字和绿色过渡、公共政策和机构的作用。此外，还将特别关注超级明星公司对经济、社会和空间不平等的影响。最后，伦敦证交所将评估在大流行以及数字和绿色转型时代恢复和恢复能力的公共政策的有效性。

HORIZON EUROPE “ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND SPATIAL INEQUALITIES IN EUROPE IN THE ERA OF GLOBAL MEGA-TRENDS” (ESSPIN) PROJECT Understanding inequalities and designing public policies to address them.The ESSPIN Project explores the nexus between social, economic and spatial inequalities in Europe. The project examines the typology, nature and evolution of socio-economic inequalities and aims to assess the mix of public policies designed to address them, in light of emerging mega-trends and global challenges. The project is funded under the Horizon Europe Research Programme and involves a multi- and inter-disciplinary consortium of 13 European Universities from 10 different EU countries and the UK with an overall budget of 3 million euros.Old and new drivers of change might run against balanced growth and socio-spatial resilience. The ESSPIN project explores policy responses, offering new evidence able to make them more inclusive and effective. The project takes a holistic and integrated approach to detect, model and map the interdependences among various drivers of inequality, opportunities and outcomes, delivering well-tailored policy recommendations.The LSE Unit – led by Prof Riccardo Crescenzi and Prof Simona Iammarino – will coordinate the activities of Work Package 3 (WP3) focusing on the “The interconnections of in-market drivers of inequality with other processes and their impact across social groups and spatial scales.” WP3 looks at the effects of major shifts in institutions, market structures, technologies and globalization (with special reference to trade and FDI) on inequalities over different social and spatial scales. WP3 will examine their independent, but also combined effects on economic, social and spatial inequalities. The analysis will relate drivers to outcomes, but also different types of inequalities with each other. Inequalities in income levels, living conditions, or poverty, will be related to inequalities in perceptions, gender, race, or ethnic background over different social and spatial contexts.The LSE Unit will do new research – in collaboration with other partners – in a number of key area. First, technological transformations and their effects on regional disparities, the urban-rural divide and local labour markets will be explored. Second, the LSE – with other partners – will also look at the effects of globalization on social and spatial inequalities under different regimes with respect to technology creation, innovation and institutions. Third, the effects of GVCs and FDI on firms, workers and places will be explored with special reference to the role of local agglomeration, digital and green transitions, public policies and institutions. In addition, special attention will be devoted to the impact of superstar firms on economic, social and spatial inequalities. Finally, the LSE will evaluate the effectiveness of public policies for recovery and resilience in the era of pandemic and digital and green transitions.
