This study proposes an empirical analysis to assess the changes recorded by the urban gradient when population size suffers from an important and unexpected shock. To this end, we build an original pseudo-panel covering information for the city of Barcelona from 1902 to 2011. Despite the...

This paper develops a novel approach studying the distribution of the regional population density across space. We work in a Bayesian parametric framework. Exploiting the Gamma distribution, we are able to introduce heterogeneity across space without incurring any a priori definition of...

This paper proposes an empirical analysis associated with a case study. It focuses on the financing strategy adopted by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in the period 1991–2003. Our added value is an original exploration concerning the role of institutional memory. By...

This study proposes to investigate the effectiveness of modeling local spatial dependence through a conditionally autoregressive process (CAR) to picture the population distribution across space. Following the current literature, the idea is to model individual location preferences by focusing...
