. Economists have recently devoted an increasing attention to the issue of spatial concentration of economic activities. However,
surprisingly enough, most of the empirical work is still based on the computation of very basic statistical measures in which
the geographical characteristics of data play no role. By making use of a series of empirical examples we show that spatial
concentration consists of two different features that are rarely kept as separate in the statistical analysis: an a-spatial
concept of variability which is invariant to permutations, and the concept of polarization that refers to the geographical
position of observations. |
