“…If anything, in developing countries, population growth often runs ahead of nonagricultural employment. Overurbanization results, and examples of pronounced primacy abound (e.g., Berry 1961;Ades and Glaeser 1995, 206;Kojima 1996;Henderson 2000).…”

The effect of the liberalization of trade on the spatial concentration of economic activities is not straightforward. It has been widely argued that protectionism increases spatial concentration as firms locate close to the main domestic markets. However, it has also been argued that an expansion of international trade primarily favors existing industrial centers and therefore leads to increased regional inequalities. Against the background of ongoing debates in both mainstream economics and in geography, we examine the spatial concentration of manufacturing in Indonesia between 1980 and 1996, a period when Indonesia substantially liberalized its trade regime. The high concentration did not decrease during this period, and establishments that engaged in international trade were actually comparably concentrated. We discuss some possible explanations for the spatial concentration in Indonesia and conclude that a host of factors may affect the outcome of trade liberalizations. In particular, the spatial configuration of the national settlement system is a potentially important factor in this regard.

“…The main purpose of analysing spatial, and TS, data is, in my opinion, in determining the extent to which pairs or groups of variables are interrelated. An example is that quoted by Berry (1971) to determine if there is any relationship between the level of a form of VD in a region and certain social qualities of the region, given just spatial data.…”

“…I shall also assume, for my own convenience, that readers are familiar with the basic terminology of time and spatial data analysis. Two excellent review papers are available on the spatial aspects, by Berry (1971) and by Unwin and Hepple (1974), and the more persistent readers, should there still be some, are advised to consult these before proceeding further.…”

1. Introduction and Summary It is the purpose of this paper to determine how far various statistical models and methods of statistical inference have enabled the aims of geographical research to be met in the problem areas to which they have been applied. In so doing, we hope we can indicate to the statistician questions of geographical interest which cannot readily be answered by existing statistical methods; and to the geographer, some of the insights into geographical processes which may be gained from a statistical and model building approach. We would stress that we have not tried to be all inclusive in our coverage. Instead, we have tried to select some topics which best seem to convey the flavour of the kinds of things human geographers have been doing, and which will, at the same time, be of interest to statisticians on either theoretical or empirical grounds. In addition, our own interests mean that we have concentrated upon examples in human (economic and urban), rather than physical, geography, although similar approaches have been used there to a lesser degree. More general reviews are provided by Gould (1969), Berry (1971) and Wilson (1972).
