Financial inclusion is often imagined as a personal failing. It is not. @_AlexandraSandu & I show in @economyandspace that, in #CEE, local #trust & #geography outweigh financial literacy & national policies in determining who gets access to banking. doi.org/10.1177/030851…
From the blue coasts to neglected interiors, #banking deserts carve invisible wealth divides across #Europe. As @_AlexandraSandu & I show in @economyandspace a geography of exclusion persists; a simple bank account divides the fortunate from the forgotten. doi.org/10.1177/030851…
#Banking deserts persist in #CEE. There, #geography dictates financial fate. My new research with @_AlexandraSandu in @economyandspace shows that financial #inclusion remains hostage to place and, without trust, #DigitalBanking cannot bridge the gap. doi.org/10.1177/030851…

Amazing keynote by Alexandra Sandu (@cardiffuni) at our Spring Seminar on the development of post-socialist cities in Central Eastern Europe, and how they can be made into good places to live - despite many having expanded while losing population. ➡️ shorturl.at/tap9K
Don’t miss tomorrow, 3 June, 09:00 CET, @ Vienna City Hall: Growing Cities vs. Shrinking Countrysides in Central Europe. What are the causes, what are the consequences? Join our Spring Seminar, organised in cooperation with @Stadt_Wien & @KDZ_Austria. ➡️ wiiw.ac.at/e-710.html
#Populism is making all dominoes fall. #Romania, once spared the tide, has voted a hard-right outsider top of the presidential race—his rise fuelled by those he says "do not matter." No country is beyond the reach of #discontent. doi.org/10.1093/cjres/… doi.org/10.31389/lsepp…
"Pupils at private #schools perform better, not because the schools are better, but because the average student comes from a wealthier, more educated family." @PEPForum opinion piece on the individual returns of private #education. doi.org/10.1007/s00168… pepf.co.uk/opinion/intern…
Access to #banking in Central & Eastern Europe is shaped by trust in #institutions, geography & socio-economic factors. Greater trust encourages account ownership, yet rural & lower-income areas remain financially excluded. Excellent presentation by @_AlexandraSandu at #RSAWinter
Really interesting presentations in the "Designing the Regions, Cities and Rural Areas of the Future", which I was the chair. Digital skills in the countryside, Cellular Automata for analysing urban expansion, geography matters to financial access, and so on. #RSAWinter
