q2 · i? · design · r2

Case-study validation of the proposed model on a real regional network, described in the article's abstract and Section 6, complementing the synthetic benchmark experiments. Calabria is characterized by severe demographic decline and many inner and peripheral municipalities.

"while a real-world case study involving the complete public school network of the Calabria region (Italy) is conducted using actual institutional, territorial, and demographic data."

• Including demographic variables as predictors can reduce actionability by de-emphasizing correlated actionable risk factors and by discounting intervention effects — related
• The baseline and capacitated facility location formulations of school aggregation are formally equivalent
• Hybrid quantum optimization is applicable to school aggregation as a proof of concept, with classical optimization currently advantaged — related
