Abstract

When modelling interregional flows it is standard to identify the origin and destination of a flow with the point of production and consumption. However, the presence of hub-spoke structures or multimodal flows may introduce bias, such as being an additional source for cross-sectional correlation between dyadic flows. The aim of this paper is to model inter-provincial flows within a country (Spain) considering this potential bias using a novel dataset with 50 inter-provincial flows and four transport modes. We then feed this dataset into various specifications of a gravity model that incorporates cross-sectional dependence attributable to hub-spoke structures.
