We employ Quah’s [13] transitional matrix and Rey’s [16] Spatial Clustering Index (SCI) to analyze the dynamics in Chinese city income distribution both from temporal and spatial dimensions. Our empirical results show that cities in eastern China enjoy more favorable movements in income distribution during urban post-reform era compared with her western and central counterparts; the dynamic spa...

ABSTRACT- The information on the spatial properties of soil is vital to improve soil management and to increase the crop productivity. Geostatistical analysis technique is one of the most important methods for determining the spatial properties of soil. The aim of this study was to investigate spatial variability of soil chemical and physical attributes for field management in eastern Shiraz, I...
