A parallel method for computing the log of the Jacobian of variable transformations in models of spatial interactions on a lattice is developed. The method is shown to be easy to implement in parallel and distributed computing environments. The advantages of parallel computations are significant...

The paper examines the relevance of unobserved spatial dependence between individual decision-makers in the analysis of discrete choices. To incorporate spatial interdependencies in the behavioral analysis, we propose a spatial random utility model of recreation demand. The model combines the...

The paper presents a basic spatial discrete choice modeling framework obtained by applying random utility theory to discrete choices made by heterogeneous spatially dependent individuals. The newly developed framework has two main advantages over existing approaches. First, individual...
