résumé : Europe as a whole is often regarded as a frontrunner in the domain of port-city sustainability, thanks to a wide set of international, national, and local initiatives. This chapter is a review of local initiatives that are either individual (single port city) or collective (partnerships among several port cities), in the domains of energy transition and transport fluidity. We find that individual initiatives concentrate in northern Europe, in the largest ports, and at a few southern ones like Valencia or Marseilles. Conversely, collective actions are more concentrated in the south, including mostly small and medium-sized port cities, through projects financed by the European Commission. Besides, we show that port-urban congestion and PM2.5 pollution concentrate in the demographically and logistically largest port cities, which also dominate container throughput rankings and have the highest number of initiatives. We discuss the imperatives of ensuring a better regional balance across the continent and its port-city hierarchy.

Prison conditions and recidivism: Evidence from France

Speaker(s)

Benjamin Monnery

Additional information

coautrice : Nolwenn Loisel
résumé : This paper investigates the effects of prison conditions on recidivism, following the universe of prison releasees in France since 2017. Prison conditions are measured through a dozen of public and hand-coded variables covering all correctional facilities (e.g. overcrowding, access to work, suicide rates, geographic isolation), thus allowing for a deeper understanding compared to prior research. Exploiting the binding geographical assignment of convicts to prisons, our results suggest a moderate beneficial effect of soft, reentry-oriented prison conditions on recidivism in France. Policy implications are discussed.
