Spatial Clustering, Inequality and Income Convergence

Janikas, Mark V.; Rey, Sergio J. - EconWPA - 2005

This paper examines the relationship between spatial clustering and inequality at the county scale with overall state per capita income in the U.S. over the period 1969-2000. For each of the 48 coterminous states we examine measures of inequality and spatial clustering and explore how a state's...

Specification Searches in Spatial Econometrics: The Relevance of Hendry's Methodology

Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Folmer, Hendrik; Rey, Sergio J. - EconWPA - 2002

This paper brings together a number of new specification search strategies in spatial econometric modeling. In the literature, experimental results for several forward stepwise strategies aimed at remedying spatial dependence, have been reported. Essentially, these strategies boil down to the...

Options for Benchmarking Infrastructure Performance

Pisu, Mauro; Hoeller, Peter; Joumard, Isabelle - Economics Department, Organisation de Coopération et … - 2012

Three main approaches can be used to assess infrastructure performance. The first employs macro-econometric techniques to estimate the impact of the existing infrastructure capital stock on growth and to infer its growth-maximising level. This approach neglects the impact of infrastructure on...

Spatial Dependence in the Evolution of Regional Income Distributions

Rey, Sergio J. - EconWPA - 2001

This paper introduces three measures of spatial dependence for use in the analysis of regional income distributions and their evolution. The first builds upon the notion of regional conditioning (Quah 1993), and is derived as a trace statistic from a modified Markov transition matrix. The...

Sigma-convergence in the presence of spatial effects

Rey, Sergio J.; Dev, Boris - EconWPA - 2004

This paper explores the implications that spatial effects can hold for the application of measures of sigma-convergence …. The bias of a common indicator of convergence is examined for a family of spatial process models including: [a] spatial … lag, [b] spatial error, and [c] spatial moving average. We show that the measure of sigma-convergence is sensitive to a …
