Local Labour Markets and the Interregional Mobility of Italian University Students (2013, methodology): “Where Ixy is the interaction intensity or the number of students resident in province x enrolling for graduate courses in province y, K is a proportionality constant, Mx is the mass of the province of origin (in this case the number of students resident in province x enrolling for graduate courses i”
The Impact of Regulatory Heterogeneity on Agri‐Food Trade (2012, neutral): “Finally, Martin and Pham (2008) and Burger et al. (2009) showed that the efficiency of the PPML approach is sensitive to the proportion of zeros in trade flows.10 Zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial 7 The variables entering both the selection and value equations must have parameters with…”
The Gravity Model for International Trade: Specification and Estimation Issues (2015, positive): “Martin and Pham (2008), and Burger et al. (2009)) have proposed the zero-inflated extension of the Poisson gravity model for situations where the data generating process results into too many zeros.”

The Dynamics of Technical and Business Knowledge Networks in Industrial Clusters: Embeddedness, Status, or Proximity? (2016, neutral): “…network data violate the basic assumptions of most standard econometric techniques, because such a dependent variable suffers from conditional dependence, excess of zeros, and over dispersion (Wasserman and Pattison 1996; Burger, Van Oort and Linders 2009; Snijders, Van De Bunt and Steglich 2010).”
