Are High-Tech Employment and Natural Amenities Linked?: Answers from a Smoothed Bayesian Spatial Model
Dorfman, Jeffrey H.; Patridge, Mark D.; Galloway, Hamilton - 2008
We investigate the recently advanced theory that high-technology workers are drawn to high amenity locations and then the high-technology jobs follow the workers. Using a novel data set that tracks high-technology job growth by U.S. county, we estimate spatial parameters of the response of job...

Dynamics of Spatial Exploitation: A Metapopulation Approach
Sanchirico, James N.; Wilen, James E. - 2000
We present a bioeconomic model of a harvesting industry operating over a heterogeneous environment comprised of discrete biological populations interconnected by dispersal processes. The model generalizes the H. S. Gordon [1954]/V. Smith [1968] model of open-access rent dissipation by accounting...

Parameter estimation of structural dynamic models using eigenvalue and eigenvector information
Allen, J.J.; Martinez, D.R. - 2008
Structural system identification methods are analytical techniques for reconciling test data with analytical models. The response data frequently used to compare a finite element model and test data are the eigenvalues of the system. However, eigenvalues alone cannot assure an adequate model....
