Although there is agreement that the effect of broadband expansion on the economy, from an general overview, is positive; not an unanimous voice arguments that this impact be positive on all sectors. By applying a multivariate two way panel data model and estimated by bayesian methodology, this...

The goal of this paper is to evaluate the results of regional economic growth estimates at multiple spatial scales using spatial panel data models. The spatial scales examined are minimum comparable areas, micro-regions, meso-regions and states over the period between 1970 and 2000. Alternative...

This paper presents a new methodology for hierarchical spatial clustering of contiguous polygons, based on a geographic coordinate system. The proposed algorithm is built upon a modification of traditional hierarchical clustering algorithm, commonly used in the multivariate analysis literature....

This paper studies a methodology for hierarchical spatial clustering of contiguous and homogeneous polygons, based on a set of binary variables. The proposed algorithm is built upon a modification of traditional agglomerative hierarchical clustering algorithm, commonly used in the multivariate...
