The Role of Spatial Interaction in Social Networks
Illenberger, Johannes; Nagel, Kai; Flötteröd, Gunnar - In: Networks and Spatial Economics 13 (2013) 3, pp. 255-282
This article addresses the role of spatial interaction in social networks. We analyse empirical data describing a network of leisure contacts and show that the probability to accept a person as a contact scales in distance with ∼ d <Superscript> − 1.4</Superscript>. Moreover, the analysis reveals that the number...</superscript>

Impact of spatial effect on volatility of trade
Zarra-Nezhad, Mansour; Mansouri, Amin - In: Asian Journal of Empirical Research 4 (2014) 7, pp. 358-368
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the spatial volatility of trade based on the Spatial Panel data Econometric Method and Wavelet Smoothing. The negative spatial dependents are estimated. So that, an increase by one percent in trade volatility and unknown volatility in neighboring...

Convergence and the effects of spatial interaction
Niebuhr, Annekatrin - HWWA Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung - 2000
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the issue of income convergence has received considerable attention in economic research. Although a vast number of empirical studies has emerged, evidence on the role of spatial interaction is still rather scarce. The present paper is an attempt to provide...

Exponential or Power Distance-decay for Commuting? An Alternative Specification
Vries, Jacob J. de; Nijkamp, Peter; Rietveld, Piet - Tinbergen Instituut - 2004
In this paper we determine the effect of transport cost on commuting flows, on the basis of an analysis of home-to-work journeys between municipalities in Denmark. Special attention is given to a proper estimation method and the form of the distance-decay function. It appears that neither an...

Laboratory Testing of Spurious Spatial Structure in Trip Distribution Models
Ubøe, Jan; Gitlesen, Jens Petter; Thorsen, Inge - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 3 (2008) 3, pp. 361-372
Abstract In this paper we examine the risk of reporting spurious relationships in trip distribution models. We show how to make synthetic data sets that (by construction) are neutral with respect to clustering effects. We study a particular case with two non-interacting groups of jobs/workers. A...

Party cues and yardstick voting
Geys, Benny; Vermeir, Jan - Abteilung "Marktprozesse und Steuerung", … - 2008
Politicians within any given party generally exhibit a degree similarity in terms of (political) viewpoints. Moreover, they are often constrained to follow general party lines on certain policy issues. Finally, they may be more likely to mimic one another than politicians from another party....

Defening and Measuring Polycentric Regions.The Case of Tuscany
Burgalassi, Davide - Dipartimento di Economia e Management, Università … - 2010
Polycentric development in regions has many dimensions, which involve several definitions and measures. This paper tackles the problem of defining and measuring polycentricity under an integrated and multi- dimensional perspective. Firstly, the policy relevance of polycentricity is analysed....
