Positive and Negative Agglomeration Externalities: Arbitration in the Pig Sector

Larue, Solène; Abildtrup, Jens; Schmitt, Bertrand - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 6 (2011) 2, pp. 167-183

Abstract In this study we analyse the determinants of pig production location in Denmark with a particular focus on positive and negative agglomeration externalities. Based on the theory of agglomeration and a discussion of the organization of the Danish pig production sector, a model of pig...

Valuing Access to Water—A Spatial Hedonic Approach, with an Application to Bangalore, India

Anselin, Luc; Lozano-Gracia, Nancy; Deichmann, Uwe; … - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 5 (2010) 2, pp. 161-179

Abstract An important infrastructure policy issue for rapidly growing cities in developing countries is how to raise fiscal revenues to finance basic services in a fair and efficient manner. This requires estimates of the potential benefits or positive welfare effects that may follow from...

Increasing Returns and the Spatial Structure of French Wages

Barde, Sylvain - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 5 (2010) 1, pp. 73-91

Abstract New Economic Geography presents increasing returns to agglomeration as a central explanation for concentration of economic activity. The estimation of the size of these effects remains, however, a standing issue in the field. The focus of this study is to investigate the presence of...

Interpolation of Air Quality Measures in Hedonic House Price Models: Spatial Aspects This paper is part of a joint research effort with James Murdoch (University of Texas, Dallas)...

Anselin, Luc; Gallo, Julie Le - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 1 (2006) 1, pp. 31-52

Abstract This paper investigates the sensitivity of hedonic models of house prices to the spatial interpolation of measures of air quality. We consider three aspects of this question: the interpolation technique used, the inclusion of air quality as a continuous vs discrete variable in the...

Dynamic Spatial Discrete Choice Using One-step GMM: An Application to Mine Operating Decisions

Pinkse, Joris; Slade, Margaret; Shen, Lihong - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 1 (2006) 1, pp. 53-99

Abstract In many spatial applications, agents make discrete choices (e.g. operating or product-line decisions), and applied researchers need econometric techniques that enable them to model such situations. Unfortunately, however, most discrete-choice estimators are invalid when variables and/or...

Regional Convergence in Germany: a Geographically Weighted Regression Approach

Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Kosfeld, Reinhold; Türck, Matthias - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 2 (2007) 1, pp. 45-64

Abstract Regional convergence of German labour markets represents a politically important question. Different studies … have examined convergence processes in Germany. We derive equations to estimate the speed of convergence on the basis of an … extended Solow model. The technique of geographically weighted regression permits a detailed analysis of convergence processes …

Innovation and Co-location

Das, Satyasiba; Finne, Håkon - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 3 (2008) 2, pp. 159-194

Abstract Here we attempt to advance the understanding of the impact of co-locative factors on regional innovation performance. The objectives are to answer what role co-location plays in explaining differences in regional innovation performance and what methodological improvements can compensate...
