Since the initial input-output models conceived by Leontief in the 1930s, the input-output theory has gone through a lot of development at the theoretical as well as applied point of view. However, despite all the progress, there is still one point that needs further consideration into the...

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,...

The emphasis today has taken the phenomenon of socioeconomicdevelopment planning, through implementation of measures to promote employment,promotion of business and/or revitalization of local resources, requires areference model with goals, a structure and operational means well defined. Onthis...

The eighties saw the emergence of a new conception of economic and social development in Spain. The locally appeared as a new tool for action and improvement over the territory. More than twenty years of operating the same, this note reflects on the evolution and current configuration of this...

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...

This study revisits the utility of gravity models in the analysis of the principal determinants of exports. Traditional cross-sectional models are improved by considering the effect of omitted variables and/or the dynamic of trade flows through the use of spatial econometric techniques and panel...

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...
