On the Specification of the Gravity Model of Trade: Zeros, Excess Zeros and Zero-inflated Estimation
TL;DR: In this article, modified Poisson fixed-effects estimations (negative binomial, zero-inflated) are proposed to overcome the bias created by the logarithmic transformation, the failure of the homoscedasticity assumption, and the way zero values are treated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Form Follows Function? Linking Morphological and Functional Polycentricity:
Martijn Burger,Evert Meijers +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that most regions tend to be more morphologically polycentric than functionally polycentric, which is largely explained by the size, external connectivity and degree of self-sufficiency of a region’s principal centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Structure and Productivity in US Metropolitan Areas
Evert Meijers,Martijn Burger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors emphasize that external economies are not confined to a single urban core, but are shared among a collection of nearby and linkable cities, such as megaregions and polycentric urban regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Borrowing size in networks of cities: City size, network connectivity and metropolitan functions in Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the spread of metropolitan functions over Western European cities is analysed and the importance of size and network connectivity differs across metropolitan functions and across cities, but local size remains the most significant determinant for most types of functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Polycentrism and Urban Network Development in the Greater South East, United Kingdom: Evidence from Commuting Patterns, 1981–2001
TL;DR: In this article, the authors test for urban network development by looking at commuting patterns in the Greater South East UK, based on census commuting interaction data for three points in time during the past three decades (1981, 1991 and 2001).
