Kingsley E. Haynes and Zachary B. Machunda

Papers in Regional Science, 1988, vol. 65, issue 1, 101-113

Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper develops a Kullback‐based information‐theoretic framework for the extended shift‐share models of the Esteban‐Marquillas/Areelus variety It also outlines an interpretative structure for managing the findings in model applications. In so doing, the method frees shift‐share from some of the criticisms that have been leveled against it. and broadens and generalizes its applicability in economics, regional science, and geography.
