Modelling Network Interdependencies of Regional Economies using Spatial Econometric Techniques

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Regional Inequality in Iran and the Impact of Economic Factors: A Spatial Econometric Approach

R egional unbalanced growth and the factors affecting it are one of the most important economic issues in developing countries. In this research, after evaluating the regional inequality at the provincial level of Iran, in order to examine the effect of economic factors on it, it was considered as a spatial econometric model using panel data during the period of 2001 to 2015. The evaluatio...

CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING 870.03 Notes on Spatial Econometric Models

Dynamic Spatial Modelling of Regional Convergence Processes

Econometric analysis of convergence processes across countries or regions usually refers to a transition period between an arbitrary chosen starting year and a fictitious steady state. Panel unit root tests and panel cointegration techniques have proved to belong to powerful econometric tools if the conditions are met. When referring to economically defined regions, though, it is rather an exce...

Geographic Network Effects on Risk Sharing in Agrarian Economies: A Spatial Econometric Approach (Preliminary Draft, DO NOT CITE WITHOUT PERMISSION)

Much research has been conducted on intra-village consumption smoothing based on the full risk sharing hypothesis. However, the conventional tests ignore geographic network effects, which are potentially important because of transaction costs and spatially covariate shock. Employing spatial panel econometric models, this study extends the empirical tests of full risk sharing to incorporate geog...
