Conditional beta- and sigma-convergence in space : a maximum likelihood approach

Pfaffermayr, Michael - 2007

Empirical work on regional growth under spatial spillovers uses two workhorse models: the spatial Solow model and Verdoorn's model. This paper contrasts these two views on regional growth processes and demonstrates that in a spatial setting the speed of convergence is heterogenous in both...

The spatial distribution of economic activities in Italy

Dominicis, Laura de; Arbia, Giuseppe; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2007

exploratory spatial data analysis reveal the existence of well- defined clusters of economic activities. … to take spatial dependence into account. Using data for Italy for the years 1991 and 2001, we apply exploratory spatial … data analysis to identify sectoral location patterns in both the manufacturing industry as well as in services. We find …

Decision support systems for forest management: A financial analysis for South Carolina's state forests.

Phillips, S.L.; Straka, T.J.; Post, C.J.; Adams, T.O. - 2006

Decision support systems (DSS), also known as forest resource information systems, focus on providing forest managers information to make better decisions. DSS in forestry organizations have evolved from the integration of geographic information systems and database management systems with...

Economics of Management Zone Delineation in Cotton Precision Agriculture

Velandia, Margarita M.; Rejesus, Roderick M.; Segarra, … - Southern Agricultural Economics Association - SAEA - 2006

This paper develops a management zone delineation procedure based on a spatial statistics approach and evaluates its economic impact for the case of Texas cotton production. With the use of an optimization model that utilizes a yield response function estimated through spatial econometric...

Economics of Management Zone Delineation in Cotton Precision Agriculture

Velandia, Margarita M.; Rejesus, Roderick M.; Segarra, … - International Association of Agricultural Economists - IAAE - 2006

This paper develops a management zone delineation procedure based on a spatial clustering approach and evaluates its economic impact for the case of Texas cotton production. The results show that there is potential economic value in using a spatial approach to management zone delineation, but...

Regional equilibrium and migration patterns in the Americas 1960-2005: Spatial data panel analysis

Sierra, Hernán Enríquez; Robledo, Jacobo Campo - UNIVERSIDAD SERGIO ARBOLEDA - 2013

This paper analyzes the migration dynamics in the Americas from 1960 to 2005 using an equilibrium approach. Using recent spatial econometrics techniques, the migration flow is evaluated, controlling for the labor mobility effect and regional wages. Additionally, the estimated model looks for...

Empirical likelihood estimation of the spatial quantile regression

Kostov, Philip - In: Journal of Geographical Systems 15 (2013) 1, pp. 51-69

The spatial quantile regression model is a useful and flexible model for analysis of empirical problems with spatial dimension. This paper introduces an alternative estimator for this model. The properties of the proposed estimator are discussed in a comparative perspective with regard to the...
