Abstract: Abstract Discrete state Markov chains are widely used in regional science and economics to model spatial dynamics of a host of processes. This paper introduces an approach that extends the classic univariate focus to consider the joint spatial dynamics of two variables based on a Kronecker product framework. A test for interactions between the processes is proposed. The paper illustrates the framework in an empirical case study involving race and class dynamics in San Diego, California, and in a number of Monte Carlo simulations. The results reveal insights about these intersectional dynamics beyond those obtainable with the application of the traditional univariate Markov chain approach.
