Imagine an impoverished region that becomes eligible for a generous transfer programme (the treatment). Imagine difference-in-differences analysis (DD) — a before-and-after comparison of the income-level handicap — shows that the handicap has risen. Most observers would conclude to the...

In spatial econometrics literature estimation and inference are carried out assuming that the matrix of spatial or network connections has uniformly bounded absolute column sums in the number of units, n, in the network. This paper relaxes this restriction and allows for one or more units to...

In spatial econometrics literature estimation and inference are carried out assuming that the matrix of spatial or network connections has uniformly bounded absolute column sums in the number of units, n, in the network. This paper relaxes this restriction and allows for one or more units to...

The majority of the studies on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) consider production-based indicators for environmental quality, in this way they ignore the consequences of international trade. This study applies methods of input-output analysis to obtain CO2 consumption-based indicators to...

For mass appraisal in real estate, the hedonic pricing method (HPM) tends to be most commonly used by academic researchers and the comparable sales approach (CSA) is mostly preferred by professionals. This paper shows how CSA is a constrained version of a spatial autoregressive (SAR) model,...

The existing body of academic literature reveals that production, distribution, and consumption might be both consistently connected and geographically scattered. This requires assessing the spatial order of production–distribution–consumption cycle, within which exploring of spatial...

Imagine an impoverished region that becomes eligible for a generous transfer programme (the treatment). Imagine difference-in-differences analysis (DiD)-a before-and-after comparison of the income-level handicap-shows that the handicap has risen. Most observers would conclude to the policy's...

Estimation and inference in the spatial econometrics literature are carried out assuming that the matrix of spatial or network connections has uniformly bounded absolute column sums in the number of cross-section units, n. In this paper, we consider spatial models where this restriction is...

Die verstärkte Nutzung der Windenergie an Land ist ein wesentlicher Baustein zur Erreichung der deutschen Klimaziele 2030. Neue Windparks hatten in letzter Zeit jedoch häufig mit Genehmigungsproblemen zu kämpfen, und der Zubau von Windenergieanlagen ist stark zurückgegangen. Das...

Several countries and regions have introduced mandatory minimum distances of wind turbines to nearby residential areas, in order to increase public acceptance of wind power. Germany’s largest federal state Bavaria introduced such separation distances of ten times the height of new wind...
