In this article we quantify the marginal external effects of nearby land based wind turbines on property prices capitalized through traded residential properties located within 2,500 meters or less. We succeed in separating the effect of noise and visual pollution from wind turbines. This was...

This paper focuses on the estimation and predictive performance of several estimators for the time-space dynamic panel data model with Spatial Moving Average Random Effects (SMA-RE) structure of the disturbances. A dynamic spatial Generalized Moments (GM) estimator is proposed which combines the...

Most data mining projects in spatial economics start with an evaluation of a set of attribute variables on a sample of spatial entities, looking for the existence and strength of spatial autocorrelation, based on the Moran's and the Geary's coefficients, the adequacy of which is rarely...

In view of the significant differences between the socio-economic regions, the level of development of transport is not homogenous. According to Tobler's law (1970) we can point out that all objects are related to each other, but the ones located closer are more dependent on each other than...

Zusammenfassung Querschnittsdaten aus benachbarten Raumgebieten, wie in der Regionalökonomie verwendet, weisen neben Heteroskedastie oft auch gegenseitige Abhängigkeiten auf. Aufgrund des geringen Bekanntheitsgrades der Raumstrukturellen Ökonometrie wird es häufig versäumt, die...

Gridded land surface temperature data products are used in climatology on the assumption that contaminating effects from urbanization, land-use change and related socioeconomic processes have been identified and filtered out, leaving behind a “pure” record of climatic change. But several...

Swiss metropolitan areas are comprised of a system of communities with considerable fiscal autonomy. This study investigates how the income tax differentials across communities in an urban area affect the households` location decisions. Data from the urban agglomeration of Basel for the year...

Per capita income and human population levels in a country have direct influences on itsenvironmental outcomes. Countries with same level of income may have different rate ofincome growth and vice versa, suggesting that the influence of the rate of income growth onenvironmental outcomes could be...

Based on the Ricardian rent theory, this study employs the variable profit function to analyze the determinants of Iowa cropland cash rental rates using county-level panel data from 1987 to 2005. Accounting for spatial and temporal autocorrelations, responses of local cash rental rates to...

Spatial dependence in individual-tree diameter, and growth model residuals was characterised for an even-aged Eucalyptus pilularis (Smith) experiment in New South Wales,. Australia. The magnitude of spatial dependence changed as the dominance of competitive mechanisms and micro-site influences...
