Through this paper we try to discuss the current situation of the research programme in Spatial Econometrics. This discipline has grown very fast during the last decades, in quantity as well as in quality, developing a wide variety of techniques. The results seem satisfactory although there...

The Spatial Durbin model occupies an interesting position in SpatialEconometrics. It is the reduced form of a model with cross-sectional dependencein the errors and it may be used as the nesting equation in a more general approachof model selection. Specifically, in this equation we can obtain...

This paper analyses the causes of deforestation for a representative set of Bolivian municipalities. The literature on environmental economics insists on the importance of physical and social factors. We focus on the last group of variables. Our objective is to identify causal mechanisms between...

In this paper we study the spatial mobility that characterizes the Spanish contemporaneous labor market, focusing our attention on the period 2001-2006. To this end, we use data on registered employment contracts as supplied by the Instituto Nacional de Empleo. Initial objective was to identify...

Cross-border regional development is one of the EU current major concerns. These regions are usually less dynamic socio-economically. Some of them have recently benefited from new roads, which have mainly been funded through the European financial program of Transnational Transport Networks,...

In this note we introduce the 1995 Spanish Interregional Input-Output Model, which was estimated using a wide set of One-region input-output tables and interregional trade matrices, estimated for each sector using interregional transport flows. Based on this framework, and by means of the...

The concept of «agglomeration economies» explains the existence of advantages derived from the concentration of population and activity. However, it does not explain the existence of spatially dynamic external economies. Network economies generated in networks of cities correspond to this last...

This paper presents a model which explains per capita regional product as a function of spatial and non spatial variables. Spatial variables may act within and beyond its territory and are related to spatial phenomena such as spatial external economies or expenditure urban multipliers. The model...
