DESCRIPTION:We investigate subnational disparities in preliminary reference
  activity by locating national courts on maps of the EU territory. Spatial
  visualization reveals that involvement in the preliminary ruling procedur
 e tends to be concentrated in a relatively small subset of regions within 
 member states. Using a machine learning approach\, we explore a wide range
  of possible predictors and the relations among them. Our data-driven anal
 ysis shows that regions that are the seat of a peak court and have a large
  cargo port are associated with higher referral rates. So too are regions 
 that are the seat of the country's capital and regions exhibiting greater 
 economic dynamism. Our ndings directly inform the theoretical discussion a
 nd suggest ways to reconcile varying strands of research on trade\, courts
 \, litigation and institutional change in the EU context.\nSpeaker: Arthur
