We introduce a regression-based gravity model for commodity flows between 35 regions in Austria. We incorporate information regarding the highway network into the spatial connectivity structure of the spatial autoregressive econometric model. We find that our approach produces improved model fit...

We use a spatial econometric extension of the traditional regression-based gravity model introduced in LeSage and Pace (2005) to model commodity flows between 35 regions in Austria. Our focus is on a formal methodology for incorporating information regarding the highway network into the spatial...
