Landscape amenities and local development: a review of migration, regional economic and hedonic pricing studies (2010, methodology): “Ali et al. (2007), Boarnet et al. (2005), Ferguson et al. (2007), Gottlieb (1995), Kim et al. (2005) and Nzaku and Bukenya (2005) applied spatial econometric models such as spatial lag or error models, which explicitly incorporate spatial effects (see e.g. Anselin, 1988, 2002; Anselin and Bera,…”
What Matters more for the Decision to Move: Jobs versus Amenities (2010, background): “…opportunities or amenities are decisive when migrants make their decisions about where to move (eg Adamson et al, 2004; Chen and Rosenthal, 2008; Ferguson et al, 2007; Glaeser et al, 2001; Gottlieb, 2003; Gottlieb and Joseph, 2006; Houston et al, 2008; Millington, 2000; Niedomysl, 2005; Scott,…”
Rural-to-Urban Commuting: Three Degrees of Integration (2010, background): “Ferguson et al. (2007) argue that natural amenity driven growth is much less pronounced in rural Canada where sparse urban centers play a more prominent role in determining rural Canadian growth patterns.”
Can Geographically Weighted Regressions Improve Regional Analysis and Policy Making? (2007, methodology): “Our empirical model specification follows from Ferguson et al. (2007), Partridge, Bollman, et al. (2007), and Partridge, Olfert, and Alasia (2007). Though this specification has worked well, its particular role in this study is secondary to examining differences in the inferences made with OLS versu”
Does rural broadband impact jobs and income? Evidence from spatial and first-differenced regressions (2014, methodology): “Recent papers using similar dependent variables as ours have used spatial error models (SEMs), since theoretically spatial heterogeneity may be more of a factor than spatial autocorrelation (Wu and Gopinath 2008; Sobel and King 2008; Ferguson et al. 2007).”
Export Sectors and Rural Development (2009, unknown): “Our empirical approach mimics the estimation approach used by Ferguson et al. (2007) and Partridge et al. (2007; 2008).”
