This paper provides an overview of the new dynamics of health outcomes in Italyand is chiefly aimed at mapping the longstanding geographical disparities among theNUTS 1 macroregions. We start the analysis by presenting an extensive literature reviewon health capital accumulation and classical...

The paper examines the spatial association between concentration of manufacturing sector and air quality across Indian states using a spatial autoregressive modelling technique. While empirically modelling the impact of agglomeration of manufacturing sector on the level of concentration of air...

The implementation of fiscal decentralization in the last two decades has produced various findings: positive and negative. Several studies have evaluated fiscal decentralization as an ideal system so that development goals can be accustomed to satisfy the local’s preferences, so that the...

This study aims to analyze the geographical patterns of aid in the 21st century for 38 countries in sub-Sahara Africa and to identify the spatial exclusion of aid at the regional level. We calculated the spatial exclusion level (SEL) of aid by comparing the multidimensional poverty index (MPI)...

In this paper, we use provincial panel data on China for the 2002-19 period to conduct a spatial autocorrelation analysis of household saving rates as well as a dynamic panel analysis of the determinants of household saving rates using a spatial Durbin model. To summarize our main findings, we...

In this paper we explore how hominin behavior responds to the distribution of resources in territorial conflict. We develop an economic model to organize the findings of primatologists, isolating how resource skew and variance affect territorial ranges, as well as how they interact with unequal...

This article examines whether Hispanics achieve spatial equity with Whites through homeownership by comparing the neighborhoods of recent Hispanic and White homebuyers using the 2018 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data coupled with neighborhood information from the Decennial Census and 2014–2018...

We develop an agent-based computational model for the spatial spread of an epi- demic to explore how the inter-regional variability in vaccine coverage a§ects the global epidemic size as well as the individual risk of infection. Our agent-based model imple- ments a standard SIR model of...

China’s demographic changes have important global economic and geopolitical implications. Yet, our understanding of such transitions at the micro-spatial scale remains limited due to spatial inconsistency of the census data caused by administrative boundary adjustments. To fill this gap, we...
