The present volume showcased a series of papers related to some of the most recent developments in the field of spatial econometric methods applied to spatial interaction modelling. In particular, this book was motivated by the need to testify, through a collection of methodological and empirical studies, how the various approaches that have been present in this field in the last decades have recently developed, by including tools that are typical of spatial statistics and spatial econometrics, giving birth to a somewhat novel discipline characterized by a body of methods and techniques known under the heading of spatial econometric interaction models (LeSage and Pace 2009).
