Computation of Box-Cox Transform Parameters: A New Method and its Application to Spatial Econometrics

  • Chapter
Book cover New Directions in Spatial Econometrics

Part of the book series: Advances in Spatial Science ((ADVSPATIAL))

Abstract

The reason for undertaking the present investigation is that, in spatial econometrics, as was argued in Paelinck and Klaassen (1979, pp. 6–9), econometric relations in space result more often than not in highly non-linear specifications. This is very probably even more the case if services or enterprise functions in space are considered [Paelinck (1987)].
