▼ My dissertation consists of four papers embedded within the Economic Geography field. The first paper analyzes economic growth and convergence from a time series perspective focusing on regional labor markets. The second paper uses microdata to evaluate what is termed conditional sigma convergence. Finally, the third paper uses innovations, as proxied by patents, and studies determinants of innovation intensity in reference to measures of human capital and economic structure such as the degree of specialization, and competitiveness. Each chapter contains a review of the relevant literature. The paper entitled ???Regional Economic Development and Regional Policies in Colombia???, begins by discussing regional imbalances in the last three decades in Colombia. The paper reviews the process by which Colombia is evolving to a pattern that consists of having a single, large metropolis, in this case Bogot??, a pattern that is typical of the Latin American experience. The paper argues that economic policies have not helped in achieving a more balanced spatial pattern of economic development. Instead, most of the economic policies seem to have worsened the situation as they have privileged the core of the country. The paper entitled ???Stochastic Convergence and Regional Disparities: An Application to Urban Wages in Colombia??? develops a model for real wages in Colombian metropolitan areas to evaluate the existence of real wage convergence, as predicted by neoclassical theory. The study employs what is termed "Stochastic Convergence" to evaluate whether real wages are converging or not. The major findings indicate that there exist differences in mean wages across urban areas, which persist through time even when accounting for differences in living costs. The analysis of stochastic convergence reveals that those differences are not vanishing through time. From a policy perspective, the results found are not encouraging given that the greatest wage disparities are more salient in the more impoverished regions such as the city of Barranquilla in the Caribbean Coast and Pasto in the southern part of the country. In the paper ???Real Wages in Colombia: A Convergence Conditional Analysis: 1984-2009???, the convergence hypothesis is studied from a different perspective than has traditionally been done in Colombia. Previous studies in Colombia have used aggregate or average income, whereas this study uses micro-data and employs hedonic models. It is argued that a model based on micro-data shows more complete results, allowing a more specific interpretation of the determinants in the difference of urban wages. The results indicate that the wage differentials in urban zones are persistent over time, even when controlling for variation in the cost of living which is used to generate real wages. This raises additional concerns: whether the difference continues after taking into account variables which represent the characteristics of workers (Mincer, 1974), the economic sector (Hewings, 1977), and sample selection bias… Advisors/Committee Members: Hewings, Geoffrey J.

▼ Competition between resident and nonresident elk hunters in Colorado vying for hunting permits has led to much debate about the equitability of the current allocation of permits between the two parties. This study evaluates whether or not resident and nonresident hunters have the same preferences for elk permits, evidenced by application rates. While many studies have examined the reasons why hunters choose this form of recreation, this study goes a step further in examining how these reasons might differ between residents and nonresidents. Because nonresident hunters have greater expenditures per recreation day, analyzing whether or not residents and nonresidents prefer the same hunts will allow for a better understanding of how Colorado Parks and Wildlife could reallocate permits in order to ensure a greater economic impact throughout Colorado. In order to allow for different levels of spatial correlation, two models are estimated with one model for resident applications and one with nonresident applications. Upon finding that there is spatial correlation of OLS residuals, spatial error models are fitted to the resident and nonresident models. With the coefficient estimates and standard errors from the spatial error models, Z-tests are calculated in order to determine if the independent variables have different effects on the respective dependent variables. While many of coefficient estimates calculated in this analysis are not significantly different for residents and nonresidents, illustrating that these two groups of hunters are alike in many ways, there are some differences present between resident and nonresident propensities to apply for specific hunts. Although further analysis would be necessary in order to disentangle the welfare effects of a reallocation of permits, this study does demonstrate that resident and nonresident hunters do not have equal preferences for specific hunt codes.

▼ This dissertation contains three essays examining new Bayesian econometric methodologies. The first develops a heterogeneous Spatial Autoregressive Model by integrating a finite mixture model structure into the traditional homogeneous specification. The second essay builds upon the first by extending this Spatial Mixture Model structure to the more general Spatial Durbin and Spatial Durbin Error specifications. Additionally, this essay covers the interpretation of these new model specifications. Finally, the third essay develops a predictive based model selection process by integrating cross-validation algorithms into standard Bayesian sampling methods with a focus on explicit out-of-sample prediction. 1.0.1 Embracing Heterogeneity: The Spatial Autoregressive Mixture ModelIn this essay, a mixture distribution model is extended to include spatial dependence of the autoregressive type. The resulting model nests both spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence as special cases. A data generation process is outlined that incorporates both a finite mixture of normal distributions and spatial dependence. Whether group assignment is completely random by nature or displays some locational "pattern", the proposed spatial-mix estimation procedure is always able to recover the true parameters. As an illustration, a basic hedonic price model is investigated that includes sub-groups of data with heterogeneous coefficients in addition to spatially clustered elements. 1.0.2 Spatial Durbin Mixture ModelsThis essay extends the finite mixture model structure to include Spatial Durbin and Spatial Durbin Error model specifications. The partial derivatives of this heterogeneous spatial model structure are shown to differ between border and interior agents; the designation of which is based on group assignment and first order neighbor designation. As an illustration, individual income based on data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) is examined using the Spatial Durbin Mixture Model specification.Results from the model indicate that returns to income from education are heterogeneous with some agents receiving negative returns on each additional year of human capital development. 1.0.3 Bayesian Predictive Model Selection using Cross-ValidationIn this essay, leave-one-out cross-validation is combined with Bayesian sampling and inference to develop a new model selection process. This process relies both upon standard hypothesis testing, and, in the absence of sufficient evidence, Ockham's Razor to selection a model from a competing set. It is shown that this process outperforms many of the criteria used in empirical work both by selected the true process more often, and selecting a smaller set of models overall.

▼ This dissertation proposes three different modeling approaches for studying the role of geography in the regional development of natural resources. We explicitly introduce the notion of space into market-based economic concepts in order to capture a more realistic picture of recent trends in the development of greener energy technologies through a more responsible utilization of natural resources. First, we use a regional extension of a Computable General Equilibrium model in order to understand the short term impacts of the extraction of natural gas using hydrofracking, numerical experiments are used to analyze potential impacts of this industry in the New York State and Pennsylvanian economy. There is clear evidence that hydrofracking in Pennsylvania has had spillover effects on bordering New York State counties were hydrofracking is not yet permitted. Policies on natural resource development should adopt a regional approach since jurisdictional boundaries are not relevant when dealing with whole-wide economic impacts. Second, we adopt recent advances in the analysis of spatial panel data in order to study agglomeration economies in the greenhouse and nursery industries in the Northeast of the United States. These industries have become essential to the urban consolidation of this region. Finally, we employ the bottom-up top-down paradigm through the combination of a static Computable General Equilibrium model and a production and distribution framework for the analysis of the potential effects of the hydrogen industry for vehicle transportation. We use the case of Hawaii since it has the highest energy prices within the US and has a clear necessity for adopting cheaper and more sustainable sources of energy in the near future. The numerical results show that a public-private subsidy scheme represents the most viable policy for the adoption of hydrogen as a source of energy in the island.

▼ This dissertation contains three essays that are related to property values and urban corridors. Urban corridors are loosely defined as public infrastructures that promote economic activities. The first essay describes a procedure for estimating household willingness to pay (WTP) for housing and location attributes using a hedonic pricing model of property values with spatial autocorrelation. To model taste heterogeneity, I consider household-specific utility coefficients for parcel-level attributes. The application provides a way to determine the price impact of urban corridors on residential homes. In particular, separate analyses are used for single-family and multifamily parcels in Minneapolis. Ultimately, this essay addresses the question of how much do households residing in different types of properties value different neighborhood development and housing characteristics. The other two essays involve applications of the hedonic price model to light rail transit (LRT). Light rail transit (LRT) alignments are chosen because there are multiple transit extensions planned for the Twin Cities region.The second essays are coauthored by Ed Goetz and Aaron Hagar. Together, we analyze the property value impacts of the Minneapolis Blue Line LRT. Impacts are assessed in terms of the accessibility effect of proximity to an LRT station and the nuisance eect of proximity to the LRT track. We estimate the proximity effect on sales prices for single-family and multifamily homes using parcel data predating construction and postdating completion of the line. The findings confirm our expectations about the differential impacts of light rail completion and location. Accounting for regional fluctuations in the housing markets, we find thehousing premiums generated after completion of the line. Using parcel data from Saint Paul, Minnesota, a study of the residential property value impact of the Metro Green LRT is conducted. The goal of the third essay pa- per is to test for benefit transfer of results found in previous studies that assess the property value impact of the Metro Blue Line LRT. The essay compares the property value impacts in Saint Paul and those found in Minneapolis. The found similarities in return of investment specific to station area economic development can inform regional transportation planning and funding strategies that concern value capture.

▼ [SPA] La tesis se concentra en las decisiones de localización por parte de las empresas y los individuos, con una especial atención a la influencia del espacio sobre las mismas. Un supuesto básico en el análisis implica que ambos tipos de agentes toman sus decisiones siguiendo un principio de maximización de la utilidad esperada como consecuencia de la localización en uno u otro lugar. En este contexto, la investigación está orientada a la cuantificación del impacto que tienen las características de cada destino sobre este tipo de decisiones. En la primera parte de la tesis analizamos las decisiones de localización de las empresas. Tomando como punto de partida la especificación estándar en la literatura, basada en modelos de elección discreta, incorporamos de modo explícito la influencia potencial de los atributos que caracterizan al conjunto de localizaciones próximas a cada destino. La especificación econométrica propuesta permite así evaluar la relevancia del espacio como un factor explicativo adicional de las decisiones de localización de las empresas. Los resultados empíricos obtenidos en la estimación este modelo ampliado utilizando una base de datos que incluye una muestra de empresas españolas confirman la relevancia de este tipo de efectos espaciales. Las características de las localizaciones vecinas efectivamente contribuyen a reforzar el atractivo de cada destino particular. Sin embargo, la magnitud de la influencia de estos efectos varía según el sector de actividad considerado; en concreto, son especialmente relevantes en el proceso de localización de empresas manufactureras que desarrollan actividades con un alto contenido tecnológico. Adicionalmente, la propia accesibilidad del entorno donde se localiza la empresa es un factor que condiciona el alcance de los efectos espaciales: a mayor accesibilidad y conectividad con su entorno, es decir a mayor centralidad de la localización, los efectos espaciales de aglomeración son más intensos, pero se disipan con mayor rapidez y alcanzan una distancia menor. La segunda parte de la tesis se concentra en diferentes aspectos relativos a las decisiones de localización de la población. En primer lugar, los flujos migratorios y sus determinantes se estudian en un marco teórico que distingue la decisión de cambiar de residencia y la elección del destino. Entre los determinantes de cada una de estas decisiones se pueden incluir toda una variedad de motivaciones y características personales; sin embargo, el estudio se ha restringido a las características a nivel municipal, tanto del origen como del destino. Los resultados empíricos obtenidos para el caso de los flujos migratorios intermunicipales en España sugieren que éstos contribuyen decisivamente al proceso de suburbanización mediante la expansión de las áreas metropolitanas de las grandes ciudades. En cuanto a la relevancia de los diferentes factores explicativos considerados, son reseñables los resultados para las variables que describen las condiciones en el mercado de trabajo y el mercado de la… Advisors/Committee Members: Artal Tur, Andrés (advisor).

▼ The success of an evidence-based intervention depends on precise and accurate evaluation of available data and information. Here, the use of robust methods for evidence evaluation is important. Epidemiology, in its conventional form, relies on statistics and mathematics to draw inferences on disease dynamics in affected populations. Interestingly, most of the data used tend to have spatial aspects to them. However, most of these statistical and mathematical methods tend to either neglect these spatial aspects or consider them as artefacts, thereby biasing the resultant estimates. Thankfully, spatial methods allow for evidence evaluation and prediction in epidemiologic data while considering their inherent spatial characteristics. This, thus, promises more precise and accurate estimates.This thesis documents and illustrates the contribution spatial methods and spatial thinking makes to epidemiology through studies carried out in two countries with different heath-data quality realities, Uganda and Sweden. To be able to use spatial methods for epidemiology studies, proper spatial data need to be available, which is not the case in Uganda. Consequently, this study had two main aims: (1) It proposed and implemented a novel way of spatially-enabling patient registry systems in settings where the existing infrastructures do not allow for the collection of patient-level spatial details, prerequisites for fine-scale spatial analyses; (2) Where spatial data were available, spatial methods were used to study associative relationships between health outcomes and exposure factors. Spatial econometrics approaches, especially spatially autoregressive regression models were adopted. Also, consistent with location-specific epidemiologic intervention, the advantages of using spatial scan statistics, Geographically Weighted (Poisson) Regression and local entropy maps to distil model parameter estimates into their inherent spatial heterogeneities were illustrated. Our results illustrated that through the use of mobile and web technologies and leveraging on existing spatial data pools, systems that enable recording and storage of geospatially referenced patient records can be created. Also, spatial methods outperformed conventional statistical approaches, giving refined and more accurate parameter estimates. Finally, our study illustrates that the use of local spatial methods can inform policy and intervention better through the identification of areas with elevated disease burden or those areas worth additional scrutiny as illustrated by our study of HIV-TB coinfection areas in Uganda, the areas with high CVD-air pollution associations in Sweden, and areas with consistently high joint mortality burden for CVD and cancer among the Swedish elderly.Overall, the incorporation of spatial approaches and spatial thinking in epidemiology cannot be overemphasized. First, by enabling the capture of fine-scale personal-level spatial data, our study promises more robust analyses and seamless data integration. Secondly, associative analyses using…

Using a unique neighborhood crime dataset for Bogotá in 2011, this study uses a spatial econometric approach and examines the role of socioeconomic and agglomeration variables in explaining the variance of crime. It uses two different types of crime, violent crime represented in homicides and property crime represented in residential burglaries. These two types of crime are then measured in non-standard crime statistics that are created as the area incidence for each crime in the neighborhood. The existence of crime hotspots in Bogotá has been shown in most of the literature, and using these non-standard crime statistics at this neighborhood level some hotspots arise again, thus validating the use of a spatial approach for these new crime statistics. The final specification includes socioeconomic, agglomeration, land-use and visual aspect variables that are then included in a SARAR model an estimated by the procedure devised by Kelejian and Prucha (2009). The resulting coefficients and marginal effects show the relevance of these crime hotspots which is similar with most previous studies. However, socioeconomic variables are significant and show the importance of age, and education. Agglomeration variables are significant and thus more densely populated areas are correlated with more crime. Interestingly, both types of crimes do not have the same significant covariates. Education and young male population have a different sign for homicide and residential burglaries. Inequality matters for homicides while higher real estate valuation matters for residential burglaries. Finally, density impacts positively both crimes.

▼ Au regard des dégâts environnementaux au cours des dernières années, il est important de mettre en œuvre des politiques environnementales efficaces afin de lutter contre le changement climatique, de préserver la biodiversité, et de réduire les pollutions de l'eau et de l'air. Le secteur énergétique est l'un des principaux contributeurs à la détérioration de l'environnement. Ainsi, afin d'atteindre les objectifs environnementaux, l'établissement de politiques énergétiques efficaces est primordial. A cet effet, il semble indispensable de mener une démarche inclusive et transversale en impliquant l'ensemble des acteurs des différents échelons (locaux, régionaux, nationaux, internationaux,...). Dès lors, l'identification de l’échelon optimal est cruciale dans une optique d'élaboration des politiques énergétiques efficaces. La thèse s'attache précisément à éclairer les enjeux liés à la fiscalité énergétique. Ainsi, l'objectif principal de cette thèse est d'analyser la nature des interactions environnementales, qu'elles soient entre régions ou Etats, en termes de fiscalité ou de dépenses environnementales. Les contributions de cette thèse sont à la fois théorique et empirique. D'un point de vue empirique, cette thèse s'est d'abord focalisée sur l’étude de la fiscalité énergétique sous l'angle des interactions spatiales. En particulier, le chapitre 1 teste la présence des interactions spatiales des départements français via la vignette automobile. Ce chapitre fournit une analyse empirique de la réaction de la politique fiscale d'un département français suite à un changement de la politique fiscale de ces voisins. Tout d'abord, en utilisant une approche économétrique spatiale en panel, les résultats montrent l'existence d'une dépendance spatiale positive, suggérant l'existence d'un comportement mimétique des départements français lors de la détermination des taux de la vignette automobile. Ensuite, ce chapitre met également en évidence une relation entre les impôts directs locaux et ceux indirects locaux. En particulier, les résultats des estimations montrent que le taux de la taxe professionnelle (resp. la taxe sur le foncier non bâti) et la vignette fiscale sont des substituts alors que le taux de la taxe d'habitation (resp. la taxe sur le foncier non bâti) sont des compléments à la vignette automobile. Enfin, les résultats montrent que les départements avec des populations plus grandes, plus jeunes et plus âgées fixent des montants plus élevés de la vignette automobile. D'un point de vue théorique, le but du chapitre 2 est d'analyser les interactions fiscales entre plusieurs niveaux de gouvernements (en particulier deux niveaux de décisions), dans lesquels il existe plusieurs juridictions de niveaux inférieurs identiques, telles que les États ou encore les collectivités locales, et une juridiction unique de premier plan, telle que l'Etat fédéral, un pays ou une union communautaire, toutes ces juridictions pouvant taxer deux bases fiscales à savoir, le capital et la ressource énergétique.

▼ This thesis critically examines the geography of the growth in the private rented sector (PRS) in England, changing living arrangements and how living in the PRS affects feeling at ‘home’. It moves beyond the grand narratives and individual anecdotes of the ‘housing crisis’ to explain what it means, for whom and where. An integrated mixed methods approach using quantitative analysis of 2001 and 2011 census tables, 2011 Census microdata, the English Housing Survey 2010-11 (EHS) and qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews was combined to address the four key research questions:• How have tenure and household type changed nationally, regionally, at local authority and neighbourhood level between 2001 and 2011?• Who is moving into the PRS and why? What are the characteristics of households living in the PRS?• Do different household types in the PRS tend to live in particular neighbourhoods? What are the characteristics of these neighbourhoods and households?• How do people who live in the PRS feel at ‘home’?The growth of the PRS has led to spatial concentrations by household type and tenure in local authorities across England and changing living arrangements. This was particularly reflected by the concentration of other households with and without dependent children in London and some other areas. At neighbourhood level this revealed spatial polarisation by household type and tenure and the emergence of new urban landscapes caused by housing market constraints which were most likely to affect younger households and those who had migrated both from within and outside the UK. The EHS showed that the majority of newly formed households had moved into the PRS suggesting that it would continue to grow, the PRS was regarded as the least desirable tenure with the majority living in it planning to move, mostly into ownership, in the future and that the PRS led to high levels of relative poverty after housing costs exacerbated by higher fuel costs for some and poorer material conditions including higher levels of overcrowding, particularly for other households with dependent children, damp and cold. Despite these financial and material disadvantages there is evidence that households living in the PRS overcame tenancy constraints to enjoy the emotional, cognitive and social aspects of feeling at home and to engage in home improvement and home-making. As well as these substantive contributions to knowledge this thesis provided both methodological and policy contributions. The use of facet methodology provided critical insights from a number of different quantitative techniques that enabled the substantive contributions on the changing geography and demography of the PRS, residential decision making and feeling at home, and together the innovative of spatial econometric techniques to housing, into the emergence of new urban landscapes. The policy contributions are underpinned by the need to recognise the universal right to a home which: requires market interventions to rebalance landlord and tenant rights;…

▼ The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between bikesharing ridership and transit-related variables in Montreal, Canada. Preliminary analysis of BIXI trip logs in 2016 shows there are similarities between the spatial distribution patterns of BIXI ridership and metro ridership, and temporal patterns of bikesharing trips indicate that some annual members are using BIXI as one of their daily commuting modes. The OLS model and the spatial lag model are used to investigate the relationship between bikesharing ridership and independent variables in transit service levels, connectivity and transport-related demographics. The 5-minute walk time buffer is chosen as the measure for the dependent variable and 12 independent variables. The log-log transformed OLS model has a 75% goodness of fit and identifies a number of variables significantly associated with BIXI ridership. In the stepwise regression model, significant variables are metro ridership, street network connectivity, daytime population, number of people that travel to work by walking, number of people that travel to work by bicycle, population aged 20 to 24 (negative), and average household expenditure on private transportation (negative). For 10% increase in metro ridership, a 4.16% increase in BIXI ridership is expected. The highly significant Moran's I indicates strong spatial autocorrelation. LM and robust LM tests justify our choice of the spatial lag model. This study uses both GeoDa and Stata to run the spatial lag model, in order to test the model with different spatial weighting matrices. Results show that the structure of the inverse distance matrix in Stata is more suitable for representing spatial interactions in bikesharing trips between metro buffers. Metro ridership is highly significant and is the second strongest predictor. After removing spatial effects, 10 percent increase in metro ridership is associated with 5.44 percent increase in BIXI ridership. In both the OLS model and the spatial lag model, metro ridership, street network connectivity, number of people that travel to work by walking and number of people that travel to work by bicycle are positively associated with BIXI ridership. This result indicates that transit riders and active travelers are potential users of bikesharing services. Through collaborative and intermodal planning, the relationship between bikeshare and transit could be strengthened and bikeshare could fulfill its potential to be a powerful complement to public transit.

▼ This dissertation illustrates how the use of spatial economics, as opposed to non-spatial methods, can enrich economic research related to natural resources decision-making. This research encompasses three distinct, but complementary, papers, based on two datasets that vary in richness and scale, and one data-driven model that will detail how data will need to be collected to inform natural resource infrastructure projects in a developing economy. The first essay uses cutting-edge spatial econometric techniques to evaluate the location decisions of private outdoor recreation providers. Here, I find clustering of outdoor recreation opportunities and that private providers are attracted to areas with existing public outdoor recreation opportunities when making their own location decisions. The second essay focuses on a specific form of privately provided outdoor recreation, agritourism, and again finds that the more existing outdoor recreation, the more agritourism trips will be taken. The second essay uses a hurdle travel cost model and focuses on the demanders, as opposed to the suppliers, of private outdoor recreation. The findings reveal that agritourists gain substantial consumer surplus (with averages ranging from 93 to 465) from their trip, and that the model treatment of multi-destination agritourists impacts the estimated consumer surplus. The first two papers use author-created outdoor recreation measures that are introduced in this dissertation. These measures were created to complement the USDA-Economic Research Service Natural Amenities Index, with input from the creators of the Natural Amenities Index, and have potential to be used in many natural resource and economic development studies as the Natural Amenities Index has been. In contrast to the other essays, the third essay recognizes that spatial relationships can be important in evaluating an economic question, even when dense spatial datasets are not available. The study uses an Equilibrium Displacement Model to evaluate water management and storage policies for a canal system in Afghanistan, a country where war and poverty have damaged infrastructure and made it difficult to collect accurate data. Producers' spatial location on the canal is of key importance to understanding their decisions and the failure to account for these spatial relationships could lead to misinformed policy decisions. The Equilibrium Displacement Model results show that water management and storage policies have different impacts on producers based on their spatial location on the canal. Through the use of three very different models, this dissertation illustrates the importance of incorporating spatial impacts when evaluating policies related to natural resources.

▼ Recreation demand such as national park visitation is influenced by various social, demographic, and economic factors. These key variables are important indicators in predicting future trends and provide beneficial information about potential park visitors for managers and planners. As parks and protected areas become impacted by socio-economic changes, it is important to understand the relationship between specific factors of recreation participation and national park visitation. From a practitioner perspective, recreation agencies require multi-scale levels of information in order to address visitor and facility needs. While site-based research or using disaggregated models are helpful to satisfy specific purposes for a park, they often do not provide this information in spatially distributed data on a statewide or regional level. Recreation planners and managers need recreation demand forecasts at levels of spatial aggregations. This study tried to identify the spatial relationships between national park visitation and its associated factors using large aggregated data. Guided by the idea of opportunity theory and Pigram’s conceptual framework, this study empirically investigated what and how factors associated with national park visitation influence demand within the Texas boundary. Specifically, this study developed a spatial regression model of national park visitation demand in Texas using Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR). This model estimated the strength of the relationship between visitation and selected demographic, socioeconomic and situational factors. Methodologically, traditional regression models (e.g., OLS) yield only a single estimate in a relationship. In comparison, GWR allows an estimate of the spatial variation of the relationship within the study area. Several private and public data sources were used in the model to create reliably aggregated data. Several explanatory variables, e.g., poverty rate, family structures, recreation-related spending patterns and level of education, were hypothesized to influence the level of national park visitation for spatially varying relationships across the study area. From a methodological perspective, this study found interesting methodological implications (e.g., rethinking the traditional regression model for recreation demand estimation) and the potential associated with the use of spatial statistics to analyze the relationships between recreation participation and societal factors. This research demonstrated the importance of including spatial variables as part of recreation demand analysis. Relatively little work has used spatial models in the field of recreation. The results of this study demonstrate the usefulness of spatial analysis for detecting various relationships within the state over traditional statistical analysis.

▼ Hotspots, which are sometimes simply referred to as clusters, represent close together areas with positively correlated, high attribute values. A county-level hotspot of a particular industry would represent close together counties with positively correlated, high numbers of industry operations. Industry hotspots have been found be beneficial to the affected industries, as well as to the area in which they are located, with some research suggesting that policies that facilitate industry clustering can be effective economic and rural development tools. Research on the impact hotspots in the agricultural industry is prevalent; however, none of this research addresses this issue as it specifically pertains to the organic sector, although the benefits of organic clustering have been touted by organic supporters. The organic sector is important to address separately, as a special case of agriculture, as differences between it and the conventional agricultural industry may indicate that organic hotspots can affect the local economy differently than conventional agricultural hotspots. The primary goal of this dissertation is to quantify the economic impact of hotspots of organic operations in order to assess their potential as an economic development tool. To achieve this broad goal, I first need to identify the hotspots, and then analyze factors that are associated with hotspot formation. I, therefore, break up this dissertation into three separate essays, which address organic hotspot identification, formation, and impact, respectively. The objective of my first essay is to identify statistically significant, county-level hot and cold spots of certified organic operations, as well as to determine the type of spatial autocorrelation present in the distribution of certified organic operations at the county-level. I use the Local Moran’s I test statistic for the cluster identification, and identify hotspots of organic operations along the West Coast, in the Midwest, and in the Northeast. I compare these clusters of conventional agricultural operations and general operations, and show that clusters of organic operations are not necessarily consistent with clusters of general agriculture or general establishments. Using a spatial autoregressive model, I confirm the presence of spatial spillovers in the distribution of organic operations. The objective of my second essay is to investigate cluster formation. Using the clusters identified through my first objective, I use a logistic regression to analyze the impact of county-level factors related to policy, economics and demographics on the probability that a county is in a hotspot or coldspot, paying particular attention to the role of the organic certifying agent. I find that the presence of certifiers who provide outreach opportunities is associated with a higher probability of a county being in a hotspot. The objective of my final essay is to analyze the impact that organic hotspots have on county-level economic activity, and compare it with the impact of hotspots of… Advisors/Committee Members: Edward C Jaenicke, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Edward C Jaenicke, Committee Chair/Co-Chair, Stephan J Goetz, Committee Member, Spiro E Stefanou, Committee Member, N Edward Coulson, Committee Member.

▼ In my 1st essay, the study explores Pennsylvania residents‟ willingness to pay for development of renewable energy technologies such as solar power, wind power, biomass electricity, and other renewable energy using a choice experiment method. Principle component analysis identified 3 independent attitude components that affect the variation of preference, a desire for renewable energy and environmental quality and concern over cost. The results show that urban residents have a higher desire for environmental quality and concern less about cost than rural residents and consequently have a higher willingness to pay to increase renewable energy production. The results of sub-sample analysis show that a representative respondent in rural (urban) Pennsylvania is willing to pay 3.8(5.9) and 4.1(5.7)/month for increasing the share of Pennsylvania electricity generated from wind power and other renewable energy by 1 percent point, respectively. Mean WTP for solar and biomass electricity was not significantly different from zero. In my second essay, heterogeneity of individual WTP for various renewable energy technologies is investigated using several different variants of the multinomial logit model: a simple MNL with interaction terms, a latent class choice model, a random parameter mixed logit choice model, and a random parameter-latent class choice model. The results of all models consistently show that respondents‟ preference for individual renewable technology is heterogeneous, but the degree of heterogeneity differs for different renewable technologies. In general, the random parameter logit model with interactions and a hybrid random parameter logit-latent class model fit better than other models and better capture respondents‟ heterogeneity of preference for renewable energy. The impact of the land under agricultural conservation easement (ACE) contract on the values of nearby residential properties is investigated using housing sales data in two Pennsylvania Counties. The spatial-lag (SLM), the spatial error (SEM) and the spatial error component (SEC) models were compared. A geographically weighted regression (GWR) model is estimated to study the spatial heterogeneity of the marginal implicit prices of ACE impact within each county. New hybrid spatial hedonic models, the GWR-SEC and a modified GWR-SEM, are estimated such that both spatial autocorrelation and heterogeneity are accounted. The results show that the coefficient of land under easement contract varies spatially within one county, but not within the other county studied. Also, ACE‟s are found to have both positive and negative impacts on the values of nearby residential properties. Among global spatial models, the SEM fit better than the SLM and the SEC. Statistical goodness of fit measures showed that the GWR-SEC model fit better than the GWR or the GWR-SEC model. Finally, the GWR-SEC showed spatial autocorrelation is stronger in one county than in the other county.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2016.

The Philippines launched the Food Staples Sufficiency Program (FSSP) in 2012 with a target to increase rice staples from 15.77 million metric tons in 2010 to 22.73 million metric tons in 2016. To attain the target, the government promoted classical approaches of (1) expanding land and irrigation areas, (2) increasing productivity through cropping intensification and introduction of high yielding varieties, and (3) strengthening food system connectivity by reducing rice wastes. In support of rice expansion, this study conducted a geospatial multi-criteria assessment to estimate yield in current and potential areas with biophysical and environmental characteristics capable of supporting rice production. Cognizant of the relationship between production efficiency and achieving the target, this study carried out a stochastic production frontier analysis coupled with spatial dependence assessment. In further recognition that attaining rice self-sufficiency is subject not only to the level of biophysical expansion and efficiency enhancement but also on the ability of producers to utilize effectively all the resources or capital at its disposal, this study also examined the influence of the farmer’s individual social capital on production and adoption of sustainable practices. Results show that the Philippines has about 2.06 million hectares of land that can be allocated to rice expansion. With this potential, the target is attainable even if expansion is not maximized given that yield per hectare is set at the maximum historical yield of 3.89 metric tons. Given that average annual regional technical efficiency in Central Luzon is 0.827 and is representative of farm performance across the country, with adequate provision of agricultural water to farmers and training programs, it is possible to increase national yield above 3.89 metric tons per hectare. At this rate and with the amount of land devoted to rice in 2010, which is 4.3 million hectares, it is possible to surpass the target of 22.73 million metric tons. Findings also demonstrate the direct and indirect connection of social relations to building a farmer’s social capital stock, which in turn was determined to help enhance farm-level efficiency and productivity.
