Difference-in-Differences Techniques for Spatial Data: Local Autocorrelation and Spatial Interaction

Delgado, Michael S.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - 2015

We consider treatment effect estimation via a difference-in-difference approach for data with local spatial interaction such that the outcome of observed units depends on their own treatment as well as on the treatment status of proximate neighbors. We show that under standard assumptions...

Misspecification in Linear Spatial Regression Models

Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2003

Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and...

Geographical Distribution of Unemployment: An Analysis of Provincial Differences in Italy

Cracolici, Maria Francesca; Cuffaro, Miranda; Nijkamp, Peter - 2007

Unemployment rates appear to vary widely at a subregional (e.g., local or provincial) level. Using spatial econometric models for spatial autocorrelation, this paper focuses attention on the spatial structure of regional unemployment disparities of Italian provinces. On the basis of findings...

The Use of Spatial Filtering Techniques: The Spatial and Space-time Structure of German Unemployment Data

Patuelli, Roberto; Griffith, Daniel A.; Tiefelsdorf, Michael - 2006

Socio-economic interrelationships among regions can be measured in terms of economic flows, migration, or physical geographically-based measures, such as distance or length of shared areal unit boundaries. In general, proximity and openness tend to favour a similar economic performance among...

The Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities in Italy

de Dominicis, Laura; Arbia, Giuseppe; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2007

Existing indices measuring the spatial distribution of economic activity such as the Krugman Specialisation Index, the Hirschmann-Herfindahl index and the Ellison-Glaeser index typically do not take into account the spatial structure of the data. In this paper, we first consider traditional...

Immigration and Innovation in European Regions

Ozgen, Ceren; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2011

The concentration of people with diverse socio-cultural backgrounds in particular geographic areas may boost the creation of new ideas, knowledge spillovers, entrepreneurship, and economic growth. In this paper we measure the impact of the size, skills, and diversity of immigration on the...

Smooth Transition Spatial Autoregressive Models

Andree, Bo Pieter Johannes; Blasques, Francisco; … - 2017

This paper introduces a new model for spatial time series in which cross-sectional dependence varies nonlinearly over space by means of smooth transitions. We refer to our model as the Smooth Transition Spatial Autoregressive (ST-SAR). We establish consistency and asymptotic Gaussianity for the...

Positional Power in Hierarchies

van den Brink, René; Steffen, Frank - 2007

Power is a core concept in the analysis and design of organisations. In this paper we consider positional power in … hierarchies. One of the problems with the extant literature on positional power in hierarchies is that it is mainly restricted to … the analysis of power in terms of the bare positions of the actors. While such an analysis informs us about the authority …

Stone Age Equilibrium

Houba, Harold; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2009

exchange is either coercive or voluntary, and relative strength governs power relations in coercive exchange. We stress the … importance of free disposal of goods which allows for excess holdings larger than consumption, thereby modelling the power to …
