Abstract

This paper provides a review of regional science research employing longitudinal models. Three groups of applications are distinguished. The first group includes studies modeling variations in distance rather than duration. The second group includes studies that focus on spatial behavior in an event history setting. The last group is still in its infancy and casts regional change in a longitudinal perspective. We recommend that methodological advances should focus on designing space–time models that synthesize longitudinal with spatial econometric techniques.
