Adaptation to Climate Change A Spatial Challenge (2024)


Free Download Rob Roggema, "Adaptation to Climate Change: A Spatial Challenge"
English | 2009 | pages: 375 | ISBN: 1402093586, 9401777160 | PDF | 23,6 mb
As it becomes clear that climate change is not easily within the boundaries of the 1990’s, society needs to be prepared and needs to anticipate future changes due to the uncertain changes in climate. So far, extensive research has been carried out on several issues including the coastal defence or shifting ecozones. However, the role spatial design and planning can play in adapting to climate change has not yet been focused on.

From Geometry to Behavior An Introduction to Spatial Cognition


Free Download From Geometry to Behavior: An Introduction to Spatial Cognition
English | 2024 | ISBN: 0262547112 | 328 Pages | PDF (True) | 19 MB
Understanding how we deal with space requires input from many fields, including ethology, neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, linguistics, geography, and spatial information theory. In From Geometry to Behavior, cognitive neuroscientist Hanspeter A. Mallot provides an overview of the basic mechanisms of spatial behavior in animals and humans, showing how they combine to support higher-level performance. Mallot explores the biological mechanisms of dealing with space, from the perception of visual space to the constructions of large space representations: that is, the cognitive map. The volume is also relevant to the epistemology of spatial knowledge in the philosophy of mind.

Empirical Macroeconomics and Statistical Uncertainty Spatial and Temporal Disaggregation of Regional Economic Indicators


Free Download Empirical Macroeconomics and Statistical Uncertainty: Spatial and Temporal Disaggregation of Regional Economic Indicators By Mateusz Pipień, Sylwia Roszkowska
2020 | 112 Pages | ISBN: n/a , ASIN: 2020013906 | PDF | 15 MB
This book addresses one of the most important research activities in empirical macroeconomics. It provides a course of advanced but intuitive methods and tools enabling the spatial and temporal disaggregation of basic macroeconomic variables and the assessment of the statistical uncertainty of the outcomes of disaggregation.The empirical analysis focuses mainly on GDP and its growth in the context of Poland. However, all of the methods discussed can be easily applied to other countries. The approach used in the book views spatial and temporal disaggregation as a special case of the estimation of missing observations (a topic on missing data analysis). The book presents an econometric course of models of Seemingly Unrelated Regression Equations (SURE). The main advantage of using the SURE specification is to tackle the presented research problem so that it allows for the heterogeneity of the parameters describing relations between macroeconomic indicators. The book contains model specification, as well as descriptions of stochastic assumptions and resulting procedures of estimation and testing. The method also addresses uncertainty in the estimates produced. All of the necessary tests and assumptions are presented in detail. The results are designed to serve as a source of invaluable information making regional analyses more convenient and – more importantly – comparable. It will create a solid basis for making conclusions and recommendations concerning regional economic policy in Poland, particularly regarding the assessment of the economic situation.This is essential reading for academics, researchers, and economists with regional analysis as their field of expertise, as well as central bankers and policymakers.Table of Contents
