Spatial patterns and size distributions of cities
Hsu, Wen-Tai; Mori, Tomoya; Smith, Tony E. - 2014
City size distributions are known to be well approximated by power laws across many countries. One popular explanation for such power-law regularities is in terms of random growth processes, where power laws arise asymptotically from the assumption of iid growth rates among all cities within a...

A spatial approach to EU regional economic convergence : a comparison between parametric and non-parametric analysis.
Brasili, Cristina; Bruno, Francesca; Saguatti, Annachiara - 2011
The economic convergence among European regions over the period 1980-2006 is analysed in the first place by using a conditional β-convergence model and a distance-based weight matrix and secondarily by a spatially-conditioned stochastic kernel approach. A Spatial Autoregressive model which...
