use. We developed a spatial agricultural groundwater extraction model by coupling a hydrological model and a contamination … migration model. We find that the optimal groundwater extraction is reduced if spatial interactions are incorporated, and that … spatial heterogeneities such as crop varieties and soil types affect individual extraction. The socially optimal paths of …

Land is an important social and economic resource. Knowing the spatial distribution of land use and the expected …-use maps and the algorithm for spatial land-use change incorporated in the Land Use in Rural New Zealand model (LURNZ). At the … provides an intuitive algorithm that would be straightforward to apply to different locations and at different spatial …

The achievement of food security for all remains one of the main development objectives worldwide. Most commonly, non-spatial … determinants and the spatial dependency of food security and nutrition outcomes. This paper seeks to address this issue. We use … of the efforts engaged on their reduction. Through exploratory spatial data analysis and overlay techniques, some …

This paper studies the effects of spatial concentration of innovation activity on local production of patents in the US …. In doing so, we augment the standard knowledge production function with a structure that allows for spatial effects …, via spatial interactions, is also a purveyor of local innovation production. The effect is stronger when we consider …
