In any economic analysis, regions or municipalities should not be regarded as isolated spatial units, but rather as highly interrelated small open economies. These spatial interrelations must be considered also when the aim is to forecast economic variables. For example, policy makers need...

Most models of object recognition assume a convergent projection within a hierarchy of processing stages: Stimuli from different areas of the receptive field project onto the same population of cells. Since attention is likely to modify such spatial pooling by changing the competitive weight of...

We investigate the importance of taking the spatial interaction of turbines inside a wind park into account. This article provides two tests that check for wake effects and thus, take spatial interdependence into account. Those effects are suspected to have a negative influence on wind power...
