This paper investigates non-linearity in spatial processes models and allows for a gradual regime-switching structure in the form of a smooth transition autoregressive process. Until now, applications of the smooth transition autoregressive (STAR) model have been largely confined to the time...

My dissertation consists of four papers embedded within the Economic Geography field. The first paper analyzes economic growth and convergence from a time series perspective focusing on regional labor markets. The second paper uses microdata to evaluate what is termed conditional sigma...

Using a data set of Wake County, North Carolina, property sales for the period 1992-2000, this study provides evidence as to the acceptability of spatial aggregation in hedonic property value models.

This article analyses determinants for 2001 farmland rental prices from 4376 farms in Germany. We derive our regression equation from a spatial reaction function to allow for spatial transmission of rental prices. Results from a general spatial model show that a € 1 per hectare higher rental...
