regional inequality of economic welfare in Israel. - (DN)

Economic and non-economic estimation of closses incurred due to the degradation of natural environment
The economist is unable to determine all variables of the system nature-economy-space in terms of value and other specialists must co-operate. A progress can be made in a closer relationship between the ecologization of economics
and the economization and humanization of natural sciences.
Settlement location decisions in a frontier region reflect both the economic and cultural variables. Distance and environmental quality are two economicvariables and both are also appropriate in analyses of migration and of economic change
. Institutional considerations and issues of contact, cooperation and conflict incorporate a variety of cultural variables. Settlement chronology in a frontier region requires the initial location of an urban centre, distance biased rural expansion, frontier town

Analyse de la relation entre la hausse du volume des échanges qui transitent par l'une des régions les plus actives de la frontière sud des Etats-Unis (Texas) et trois variables socio-économiques (emploi, revenu par tête et taux de chômage
). Utilisation de techniques de régression pour mesurer l'importance de l'évolution temporelle des trois variables, compte tenu de la dynamique des échanges. Après l'établissement de la NAFTA, les taux de croissance de l'emploi et du revenu par tête se situent
Locational and socio-economic variation in public perceptions of economics and the environment
Australia ; Economy ; Enquiry ; Living standard ; Man-environment relations ; Natural resources ; Perception ; Resource management ; Socio-economic indicators ; Western Australia
There has been little enquiry about how Australians perceive economic good in the context of the use of environmental resources. The residents of five State government electorates of Perth were surveyed. Their perceptions of economics
, the environment and resources in relation to public policy were assessed. The paper examines the spatial variability of the results and raises the possibility of developing a socio-locational indicator of attitudes which could provide a tool for policy

This paper analyzes the conditional β -convergence hypothesis for NUTS 3 Italian provinces Spatial dependence is introduced in the economic model by assuming a spatial Durbin model specification. The absence of data experienced by some economic
variables at the NUTS 3 level is addressed through a modified version of the Bayesian interpolation method introduced by Palma and Benedetti. Spatial heterogeneity is taken into account by identifying convergence clubs. For this purpose, we use the modified
simulated annealing algorithm introduced by Postiglione et al. The methodology is compared with the heteroscedastic approach proposed by Kelejian and Prucha (J Econom 157:53–67, 2010.

-exchange related to the economic structure. With regard to the theoretical and conceptual framework the author uses Berry's geographical field theory and theories concerning the connection between communication pattern and the spatial diffrentiation
of economic structure. The communication pattern is analysed by graph theory and Markov chains. The economic structure by PCA-analysis. The interdependence between communication pattern and economic structure is demonstrated by a series of multiple regression
equations. In particular the independent variables with a service character explained the greatest proportion of the total variance of the dependent variable (the mean first passage of the Markov chain analysis). (AGD).
Inter-industry manufacturing linkage and manufactures: perception of economic opportunity in Alberta, Canada

unemployment and vacancy rates is extracted and it is then related to various explanatory variables. The findings suggest the need for an explicit regional policy to tackle unemployment in Australia.

Les variables de base du modèle de Grossman concernent les structures socio-démographiques, l'environnement et la morbidité (déterminants du nombre de consultations). Les AA. étudient les liens entre la densité des généralistes et ces variables à
l'aide d'une analyse canonique. Ils montrent les changements qui affectent leur distribution spatiale lorsque ces variables déterminent le choix de localisation (analyse discriminante).
