Abstract: Abstract Analysis of spatial distribution of economic activity has plenty of implications in several areas like urban planning, infrastructures, firm supporting policies and land use, among others, and is receiving an increasing attention by researchers. Most of analyses of spatial distribution of economic activity have been carried out using extant administrative units (e.g., counties, regions, etc.), but unfortunately, these analyses suffer from the shortcoming that administrative units vary greatly in size and shape, do not always coincide with real economic areas and are sometimes arbitrary.
