Abstract The paper focuses on the case of a panel data set, without unobserved individual effects, treated by means of an SUR specification. The problem raised is to test for the presence of spatial effects in these multivariate systems. Various useful tests are developed based on the principle...

<title>Abstract</title> We investigate the relative impact of geographic features on the location of production in the European Union. Specifically, we attempt to quantify how much of the spatial pattern of GDP can be attributed to exogenous first-nature elements alone and how much can be derived from...
