Multilevel Modelling with Spatial Interaction Effects with Application to an Emerging Land Market in Beijing, China KU Leuven
This paper develops a methodology for extending multilevel modelling to incorporate spatial interaction effects. The motivation is that classic multilevel models are not specifically spatial. Lower level units may be nested into higher level ones based on a geographical hierarchy (or a membership structure--for example, census zones into regions) but the actual locations of the units and the distances between them are not directly considered: ...
