Measuring AI-Related Cooperation, Competition, and Innovation across Global Subnational Regions Using News Text

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Status: In preparation

This project develops a GeoAI-based framework for measuring AI-related cooperation, competition, and innovation across global subnational regions using large-scale news data. It connects relational measures of technological activity with debates in economic geography, urban AI, and regional development.

Different Strokes for Different Folks: Heterogeneity, Teleworkability, and the Restructuring of Dutch Internal Migration Networks

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Status: Finalizing

This article investigates how teleworkability is associated with heterogeneous relocation responses across demographic groups in the Netherlands. It uses IPF-based population-flow synthesis to reconstruct layered relocation networks and evaluate unequal mobility outcomes.

Revealing the Global Mobility and Driving Forces of Digital Nomads through Network Analysis and Interpretable Machine Learning

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Status: Finalizing

This article conceptualises digital-nomad mobility as an emerging form of digitally enabled urban mobility. It combines network analysis and interpretable machine learning to explain city attractiveness, cross-city flows, and the uneven geography of mobile remote work.

Social Media Influence on Citizen Power in Online Planning Controversies: An Edge-based Social Network Analysis of Network Power

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Status: Under review

The article develops an edge-based social network approach to examine how networked power is distributed and reproduced in online planning controversies. It focuses on relational mechanisms between actors rather than treating influence solely as an individual node attribute.

From Interaction Networks to Interpretive Samples: Networked Discourse Analysis for Digital Social Research

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Status: Under review

This article develops a general framework that connects interaction-network analysis with theoretically informed interpretive sampling. The approach is designed to measure networked power and discursive influence while retaining the contextual depth required for digital social research.

Teleworkability and the Evolution of Job-Home Networks after the COVID-19 Shock: Causal Evidence from the Netherlands

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Status: Under review

This article examines how actual remote-work patterns reshaped Dutch municipal job-home networks after the COVID-19 shock. It uses spatial difference-in-differences models and Bartik shift-share designs to estimate direct and spillover effects on commuting relations, employment-residence linkages, and urban-regional network structure.
