There is an increasing awareness of the potential of nonlinear modeling in regional science, which can partly be explained by the recognition of the limitations of conventional equilibrium models in complex situationsand partly by the easy availability and accessibility of sophisticated...

Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and...

The importance and relevance of methods to deal with spatial effects in econometric models has received increased recognition, in part due to a renewed interest for the role of space and spatial interaction in social science theory, the availability of large socio-economic data sets with...
