This paper studies the convergence of per-capita GDP across European regions over a fairly long period. Most of the works in the field are based on either cross-sectional or fixed-effects estimates. We propose the estimation of convergence in per-capita GDP across European regions by making use of panel-data models extended to include spatial error autocorrelation (Anselin, 1988; Elhorst, 2003)...

Traffic accidents, which continue to increase from year in Turkey and the world, have become a huge problem that can result serious traumas, injuries, deaths, as well their material moral consequences. Many studies been carried out world reduce number of traffic but these not very effective reducing accidents. In this study, 3105 fatal or injured accidents between 2010–2017 Sar?yer district Ist...

This paper derives several Lagrange Multiplier tests for the panel data regression model wih spatial error correlation. These tests draw upon two strands of earlier work. The Þrst is the LM tests for the spatial error correlation model discussed in Anselin (1988, 1999) and Anselin, Bera, Florax and Yoon (1996), and the second is the LM tests for the error component panel data model discussed in...

After several years of low West Nile virus (WNV) occurrence in the United States of America (USA), 2012 witnessed large outbreaks in several parts of the country. In order to understand the outbreak dynamics, spatial clustering and landscape, demographic and climatic associations with WNV occurrence were investigated at a regional level in the USA. Previous research has demonstrated that there ...

Positive spatial dependence is predominant in the spatial data. Therefore, it is not surprising that most of the methodological papers are concerned with the positive spatial dependence (either in terms of spatial lag, spatial error, or both) when evaluating estimation, testing and forecasting procedures [For example, see Anselin, Bera, Florax, and Yoon (1996) and Baltagi, Song, and Koh (2003) ...

Much progress has been made in the development of software tools for spatial analysis since special issue Geographical Analysis appeared 2006, devoted to “Recent advances social sciences” (Rey and Anselin 2006). The 15 some years publication have marked by major changes analytical landscape. Arguably, three important somewhat related phenomena can be distinguished that drove these changes: embe...

The notion of generalized locally bounded $I$-topological vectorspaces is introduced. Some of their important properties arestudied. The relationship between this kind of spaces and thelocally bounded $I$-topological vector spaces introduced by Wu andFang [Boundedness and locally bounded fuzzy topological vectorspaces, Fuzzy Math. 5 (4) (1985) 87$-$94] is discussed. Moreover, wealso use the fam...
