This study examined the distribution of new firm formation in New England from 1999 through 2009. Using discrete entropy and entropy decomposition, it was found that single-unit firm births are spatially dispersed. The distributional patterns do not vary substantially across the study period....

This study examines the impact of the determinants of new firm formation in New England at the county level from 1999 to 2009. Based on the Spatial Durbin panel model that accounts for spillover effects, it is found that population density and human capital positively affect single-unit firm...

This study introduces a new method called Spatial Econometric Computable General Equilibrium (SECGE) model, which integrates both spatial econometrics with computable general equilibrium modeling to improve the effectiveness of impact analysis on transportation infrastructure. Elasticities of...
