Entrepreneurial activities relate each with the other, their features are usually, linked to the region. Many theoretical papers analyse the relationship between economic agglomerations and entrepreneurship. However, only few case studies exist, having the goal to prove the type relationship...

Africa is estimated to have great potential for agricultural production, but there are a number of constraints inhibiting the development of that potential. Spatial data are increasingly important in the realization of potential as well as the associated constraints. With crop production data...

We propose a generic algorithm for numerically accurate likelihood evaluation of a broad class of spatial models characterized by a high-dimensional latent Gaussian process and non-Gaussian response variables. The class of models under consideration includes specifications for discrete choices,...

Entrepreneurial activities relate each with the other, their features are usually, linked to the region. Many theoretical papers analyse the relationship between economic agglomerations and entrepreneurship. However, only few case studies exist, having the goal to prove the type relationship...

Are regions within a country really independent islands? Do economic relations and effects really have a homogenous, unique size across an entire country? These two assumptions are often imposed implicitly in empirical economic and social research. In his doctoral thesis, Norbert Schanne...

The content of the article is focused on the problem of spatial dependence identification, referring to the analysis of regional economic development. Economic development, as an economic category, represents a very extensive concept. Within its framework the following problems should be...

The paper focuses on the issue of the modifiable areal unit problem, which means a possibility of obtaining various results for spatial economic analyses depending on the assumed composition of territorial units. The major research objective of the work is to examine the scale problem that...

The objective of this paper is to identify classes of regions presenting different economic situations and apply a join-count test to examine spatial dependences between these classes. The test examines spatial autocorrelation on the basis of qualitative data. The global join-count test...
