Such tools are very powerful to evaluate accurately the spatial distribution of plants or retail stores for example (Duranton and Overman, 2008; Jensen and Michel, 2011). In the present paper, we introduce a new statistic measure based on distances to evaluate the spatial concentration of economic activities. As far as we know, the m function is the first relative density function proposed in the economic literature. This tool completes the typology of distance-based methods recently drawn up by Marcon and Puech (2014). By working on several theoretical and empirical examples, we prove the advantages and the limits of the m function to gauge the spatial structures in spatial economics.</description> <date>2014-11-12</date> </dc> </metadata> </record> </GetRecord> </OAI-PMH>
