ABSTRACT

This editorial summarizes the papers published in issue 15(2) so as to raise the bar in applied spatial economic research and highlight new trends. The first paper combines a conditionally autoregressive process from the spatial statistics literature with a spatial Durbin error model from the spatial econometrics literature. The second paper feeds a multistage and multilevel data envelopment analysis with a microeconomic foundation. The third paper provides empirical evidence that Flegg’s location quotient combined with a gravity model produces the most accurate interregional input–output multipliers. The fourth paper investigates the impact of inventor networks on the number of patents per capita in Brazil.

摘要

这篇社论总结了在第15（2）期中发表的论文，从而提高了在应用空间经济学研究中的标准并突出了新的趋势。第一篇论文将空间统计文献中的条件自回归过程与空间计量经济学文献中的空间杜宾误差模型结合在一起。第二篇论文提供了具有微观经济学基础的多阶段和多层次的数据包络分析。第三篇论文提供了经验证据，表明弗莱格的位置商与引力模型相结合产生了最准确的区域间投入产出乘数。第四篇论文调查了发明人网络对巴西人均专利数量的影响。
