This important book explores original and alternative directions for economic geography following the revolution precipitated by the advent of so-called ‘new economic geography’ (NEG). Whilst, to some extent, the volume could be regarded as part of the inevitable creative...

There is no clear consensus as yet concerning the possible regional agglomeration impacts of Japanese just-in-time manufacturing techniques. This paper attempts to provide a theoretical structure to discussing such questions and then uses a logit model to analyze evidence from the Scottish...

A structural model incorporating regional effects is fitted to cross-sectional data for 60 countries. The model integrates various strands in the literature, including the dynamic Verdoorn Law linking productivity growth to output growth, and relationships between educational attainment, trade...

Abstract This paper proposes a new generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for spatial panel models with spatial moving average errors combined with a spatially autoregressive dependent variable. Monte Carlo results are given suggesting that the GMM estimator is consistent. The estimator...

On the assumption that it is sometimes necessary to take a step sideways to make progress, this article describes the author’s preferred spatial econometric modeling approach based around recent theory developed in the field of urban economics. This has many features in common with...

The response by regional and national economies to exogenous impulses has a well-established literature in both spatial econometrics and in mainstream econometrics and is of considerable importance given the current economic crisis. This paper focuses on dynamic counterfactual predictions and...

<italic>Cet article s’intéresse au problème de l’endogénéité dans un cadre spatial. Nous analysons le cas où l’endogénéité provient d’une variable omise spatialement autocorrélée. Nous montrons, de façon théorique et à l’aide de simulations de Monte-Carlo, qu’une façon de...</italic>
