This paper develops a novel approach studying the distribution of the regional population density across space. We work in a Bayesian parametric framework. Exploiting the Gamma distribution, we are able to introduce heterogeneity across space without incurring any a priori definition of...

This study proposes to investigate the effectiveness of modeling local spatial dependence through a conditionally autoregressive process (CAR) to picture the population distribution across space. Following the current literature, the idea is to model individual location preferences by focusing...

This paper aims at providing a Bayesian parametric framework to tackle the accessibility problem across space in urban theory. Adopting continuous variables in a probabilistic setting we are able to associate with the distribution density to the Kendall's tau index and replicate the general...
