Updating weighting matrices by Cross-Entropy

Fernández Vázquez, Esteban - In: INVESTIGACIONES REGIONALES - Journal of REGIONAL RESEARCH (2011) 21, pp. 53-69

The classical approach to estimate spatial models lays on the choiceof a spatial weights matrix that reflects the interactions among locations. The ruleused to define this matrix is supposed to be the most similar to the «true» spatialrelationships, but for the researcher is difficult to...

Interregional differences in labor market participation

Möller, Joachim; Aldashev, Alisher - In: Review of Regional Research 26 (2006) 1, pp. 25-50

The paper analyzes the variation of gender-specific labor-market participation rates at the regional level. We first develop a search-theoretical model with inter-temporal optimization behavior of agents. The model suggests that a higher regional wage level fosters participation, while higher...

Empirical Examination of the Gravity Model in two Different Contexts: Estimation and Explanation

Sargento, Ana Lúcia Marto - In: Review of Regional Research 27 (2007) 2, pp. 103-127

Ziel dieses Artikels ist die Analyse der Leistungsfähigkeit des Gravitätsmodells, im Zusammenhang mit bereits bekannten Handelsströmen (Fall (a)), und als Prognosemodell (Fall (b)). Im Fall (a) dient das Modell der Erläuterung der Entwicklung von Handelsströmen. Der Test mit mehreren...

Regionale Entwicklung mit und ohne räumliche Spillover-Effekte

Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Kosfeld, Reinhold; Türck, Matthias - In: Review of Regional Research 27 (2007) 1, pp. 23-42

The development state of regions does not only depend on the own efficiency, but also on spatial spillovers. Positive (backward linkages, use of the infrastructure in neighbouring economic areas etc.) and negative (e.g. environmental effects) spillovers give reason for mutual economic...

Testing for spatial error dependence in probit models

Amaral, Pedro; Anselin, Luc; Arribas-Bel, Daniel - In: Letters in Spatial and Resource Sciences 6 (2013) 2, pp. 91-101

In this note, we compare three test statistics that have been suggested to assess the presence of spatial error autocorrelation in probit models. We highlight the differences between the tests proposed by Pinkse and Slade (J Econom 85(1):125–254, <CitationRef CitationID="CR13">1998</CitationRef>), Pinkse (Asymptotics of the Moran test...</citationref>

Climate Sensitivity of Indian Agriculture

Kumar, K.S. Kavi - Madras School of Economics - 2009

Climate change impact studies on agriculture are broadly based on agronomic-economic approach and Ricardian approach. The Ricardian approach, similar in principle to the Hedonic pricing approach of environmental valuation, has received significant attention due to its elegance and also some...

Regional Income Convergence in Portugal (1991-2002)

Guerreiro, Gertrudes S. - Centro de Estudos e Formação Avançada em Gestão e … - 2012

variables, such as income. We search the answers to these questions by introducing the treatment of convergence between smaller … territorial units, the municipalities as individuals. We intend to evaluate convergence or divergence in income growth and test … empirically the theoretical hypothesis that ?-convergence, although necessary, is not a sufficient condition for ?-convergence. To …

Does a hospitals quality depend on the quality of other hospitals? A spatial econometrics approach to investigating hospital quality competition

Gravelle, Hugh; Santos, Rita; Siciliani, Luigi - Centre for Health Economics, Department of Economics … - 2013

We examine whether a hospitals quality is affected by the quality provided by other hospitals in the same market. We first set out a theoretical model with regulated prices which specifies conditions on demand and cost functions which determine whether a hospital will have higher quality when...

Personal indebtedness, community characteristics and theft crimes

McIntyre, Stuart G - Scottish Institute for Research in Economics (SIRE) - 2013

Becker (1968) and Stigler (1970) provide the germinal works for an economic analysis of crime, and their approach has been utilised to consider the response of crime rates to a range of economic, criminal and socioeconomic factors. Until recently however this did not extend to a consideration of...
