This chapter provides a survey of the specification and estimation of spatial panel data
models. Five panel data models commonly used in applied research are considered: the …

Agricultural landscapes across the planet have replaced natural habitat with crop production
that is less diverse at field and landscape scales. Loss of cropland heterogeneity can …

In this article we suggest that the process of peri-urban formation is a case of “exploded
urbanism”–a situation in which urban features fly like shrapnel from the urban core to the …

This paper examines the role of seawater deterioration in the beta convergence process of
tourism demand. We propose an empirical application with observations of tourist arrivals …

Despite extensive research on absorptive capacity (ACAP) and its role in firm performance,
the impact of geographical proximity and external knowledge flows on ACAP in small and …

In recent decades we have seen an increased interest in the use of seemingly unrelated
regressions models (SUR) in a spatial context, with compelling case studies in different …

This study analyses the effect of the spatial factor, location, and interaction effects among
peer companies, on the productivity growth of agri‐food companies in Spain. With this aim …

The purpose of the paper was to compare two well-known model selection strategies, the so-
called Specific-to-General, Stge, and General-to-Specific, Gets, in a context of spatial SUR …

This paper analyses the geographical proximity impact and the proximity paradox in a
regional study of the Spanish agri-food industry. This study is mainly based on the …

Assembling spatial units into meaningful clusters is a challenging task, as it must cope with a
consequential computational complexity while controlling for the modifiable areal unit …
