Abstract:
This paper aims to offer demographic inputs to improve criteria of economic regionalization based on the polarization approach, which takes into account the urban network and its hierarchy. From a methodological perspective of an integrated analysis of economic and demographic factors of polarization, we incorporate in the regionalization method the population movements among geographical localities at the micro-spatial level. The final step is the development of an economic regionalization that integrates economic and demographic variables of flow and stock.
