The Role of Economic Space in Decision Making: Comment (1)

Emmanuel Flachaire

Annals of Economics and Statistics, 2005, issue 77, 21-28

Abstract: Over the last few years, Margaret SLADE contributed to some major improvments in the field of industrial economics. The important question of location and spatial interaction in economic decision is one of her central interests. Her paper, prepared for a presentation at the « Conférence de L'ADRES » in Paris, presents the ways and the methods she developed with her coauthors to incorporate the influence of space location in regression model. The new attention to specifying, estimating and testing for the presence of spatial interaction they have taken, concerns the use of semiparametric methods to allow less restrictions on the form of the spatial dependence. The paper is clearly written, without technical developments and the discussion of potential applications is very convincing on the significant role that the location can take in economic devisions.
