The Moran collection, which has been catalogued over the last two years, has presented the archivist with a number of interesting problems, besides those normally associated with a collection of personal papers. The extensive collection' had been used by Professor Lovell for his biography of Lord Moran while it was still at the family homes and it was following an approach by the archivist of t...

BACKGROUND Understanding the spatial distribution of stunting and underlying factors operating at meso-scale is of paramount importance for intervention designing and implementations. Yet, little is known about the spatial distribution of stunting and some discrepancies are documented on the relative importance of reported risk factors. Therefore, the present study aims at exploring the spatial...

es on how structural characteristics affect various outcomes. One form of this research tests whether structural characteristics of neighborhoods affect various aggregate outcomes, such as crime, economic vibrancy, cohesion, or even death from heat waves (Browning et al. 2006). Another form of this research employs multilevel models to test whether the structural or cultural characteristics of ...

This paper studies the long-run convergence of per-capita GDP across European regions. Most of the empirical works in this area are based on either cross-sectional or a-spatial panel data xed-e ects estimates. Here, we propose the use of panel data econometrics models that incorporate an explicit consideration of spatial dependence e ects (Anselin, 1988; Elhorst, 2001; 2003). This allows us to ...

Prediction of soil organic carbon (SOC) at unsampled locations is central to statistical modeling of regional SOC stocks. This is often accomplished by applying geostatistical techniques to plot inventory data. However, in many cases inventory data is sparsely sampled (<0.1 plots/km) relative to the region of interest, and it is unknown if geostatistics provides any advantage. Our objective was...
