A spatial econometric analysis of urban growth and territorial dynamics: A case study on Spain [Data set]

This paper tries to improve the knowledge of the Spanish urban system. The aim of this paper is twofold: firstly, to determine the factors that explain the urban growth of Spanish cities; secondly, to observe the cities situation in terms of winners¨ and losers¨ after the long period of integration of Spain in the EU.

A spatial conditional Beta- convergence equation is specified and the Durbin-Wu-Haussman exogeneity test is used to check on the existence of simultaneity between urban growth and the control variables. The classic problems of spread and backwash are studied by including a spatial autoregressive term and spatial regimes -convergence clubs- in the growth model. | Spatial lag model with spatial regimes.
