Deforestation, Growth and Agglomeration Effects: Evidence from Agriculture in the Brazilian Amazon
Igliori, Danilo - Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge - 2008
The role of population growth and migration has been emphasized as a key variable to explain deforestation and land conversion in developing countries. The spatial distribution of human population and economic activities is remarkably uneven. At any geographical scale we find that different...

Spatial Econometric Approaches to Estimating Hedonic Property Value Models
Wang, Li; Ready, Richard C. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2005
The inclusion of spatial correlation of house price in hedonic pricing model may produce better marginal implicit price estimate(s) of the environmental variable(s) of interest. Most applications where a spatial econometric model is applied to the estimation of a hedonic property value model...

Spatial Dependence in Hedonic Property Models: Do Different Corrections For Spatial Dependence Result in Economically Significant Differences in Estimated Implicit Prices?
Mueller, Julie M.; Loomis, John B. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 33 (2008) 2
While data used in hedonic property models are inherently spatial in nature, to date the majority of past regression analyses have used OLS models that overlook possible spatial dependence in the data when estimating implicit prices for environmental hazards. This paper explicitly addresses...

Applying Geographically Weighted Regression to Conjoint Analysis: Empirical Findings from Urban Park Amenities
Tanaka, Katsuya; Yoshida, Kentaro; Kawase, Yasushi - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2008
The objective of this study is to develop spatially-explicit choice model and investigate its validity and applicability in CA studies. This objective is achieved by applying locally-regressed geographically weighted regression (GWR) and GIS to survey data on hypothetical dogrun facilities...

Externalities Imposed on Residential Properties in Highly Urbanized Areas
Cotteleer, Geerte; Peerlings, Jack H.M. - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008
In highly industrialized areas open spaces such as farmland and nature are under pressure since urban areas are expanding at their expense. Because of the high opportunity costs of development in urban areas, a high price has to be paid for the maintenance or creation of open space. The question...

Spatial Competition and Market Power in Banking
Richards, Timothy J.; Acharya, Ram N.; Kagan, Albert - Institut für Lebensmittel und Ressourcenökonomik, … - 2007
Banks in non-metropolitan areas compete in a spatially-differentiated environment. Particularly with the advent of electronic banking services, however, there is some question as to how much market power is conferred by spatial separation from rivals. This paper estimates a structural model of...
