    Notes: Abstract Certain bivariate densities constructed from marginals have recently been suggested as models of hydrologic variates such as rainfall intensity and depth. It is pointed out that (i) these densities belong to the families of the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern densities and the Farlie polynomial densities, which have been extensively studied in the statistical literature, and that (ii) these densities have a limited potential applicability in hydrology since they can model only weakly associated variates, whose product-moment correlationR is within the range |R|≤1/3, under the first family of densities, and |R|≤1/2 under the second family.

    Notes: Summary This paper delves into a more explicit analysis of demand in space than has been undertaken heretofore. Utility theory is used to develop the concepts of spatial income-distribution effect, spatial-induced income effect, and spatial substitution effect, the effects on demand of changes or differences in location. Indifference curve analysis is employed to give a graphical interpretation to these concepts. The use of this general approach to demand in space makes it apparent that the usual assumption of uniform partial demand curves is logically inconsistent in a spatial context. An assumption of spatial homogeneity of general demand functions and of income distribution is found to imply (1) generally nonidentical partial demand curves at different points in space, and thus that the existence of the demand cone requires special conditions, (2) cases where purchases may rise with increasing distance from the mill, (3) the lack of independence among the ranges of different goods, and (4) nonuniformity in the size of ranges for a given good (a) sold at different centers and (b) sold in different directions from one center. Further work on this topic is indicated along the lines of loosening the many restrictions imposed during the analysis. Two-dimensional rather than the linear markets, discriminatory f.o.b. or equalized delivered pricing rather than nondiscriminatory f.o.b. pricing, and a transportation system with limited rather than ubiquitous access are some cases in point.

    Notes: Summary and Conclusions This study examines the influence of the spatial structure of city locations on air travel by considering the factors of intervening opportunities and the hierarchical system of cities in addition to the simple dimension of distance. The statistical results show that the familiar strength of the gravity model is matched by that of the intervening opportunities model, but only when all cities are analyzed together. The disaggregation of cities by size and region (hierarchy) leads to a spotty performance by both models. The generality of the gravity and intervening opportunities models is thus called into question, and the potency of the hierarchical city organization as a contributing influence determining air traffic flows is demonstrated.

    Notes: Abstract Desertification remains high on the international agenda of critical environmental problems as the decade of the '80's draws to a close. The fact that this subject has attracted renewed high level attention over the past year is a source of considerable encouragement. The "bad news" is that such recognition reflects the failure of the international community to address the desertification problem in a meaningful way over two decades—this despite the considerable enthusiasm, detailed planning and extensive commitments of governments, international bodies and the private sector. While lack of adequate funding is often implicated, reasons for the woeful performance are found elsewhere: an initial underestimation of the depth and tenacity of the problem; the continuing absence of agreement on the dimensions and key indicators of desertification, prerequisites for measuring trends and progress; the erosion of public confidence and government support through failure to publicize and build on the few successes; and widespread civil unrest in many of the affected countries which has thwarted meaningful antidesertification efforts. Prospects for the 1990's depend upon new commitments and follow-through both by governments of affected nations and by the development assistance community. The former must provide a more favorable political and social context for success. This means tackling more aggressively problems of population growth, land tenure, and civil disruption. The donor community, for its part, must overcome the scattering of its intellectual, technological and financial resources, and rebuild its own and others' confidence by demonstrating that the resource base can indeed be stabilized and enhanced at a meaningful scale. Recognition of and commitment to the long-term requirements of antidesertification campaigns are also required of all parties.

    Notes: Abstract Let there be several identical deposits of an exhaustible, non-renewable resource, the working of each deposit entailing a set-up cost but no other costs. It is found that the optimal path of extraction dictates that the deposits must be removed in strict sequence with discontinuities of marginal benefit at transition points. Moreover, the average rate of increase of marginal benefit is less than the rate of interest. These results embellish Hotelling's rule relating to optimal methods of resource extraction.

    Notes: Abstract. Based on recently developed methods of exploratory spatial data analysis, this article seeks to prove the desired spread effects in the Chinese space economy from a core-periphery perspective. Recently developed methods of exploratory spatial data analysis provide new insights on the spatial pattern of the interaction of Chinese provincial output growth rates over the 1978–1994 period. Findings indicate that the economic spillover effects are most evident at the first order of province contiguity from Guangdong, where the two coastal provinces of Hainan and Guangxi are identified with a significant spread pattern, while non-coastal provinces Hunan and Jiangxi are observed with a strong polarization pattern. A further analysis indicates that the state preferential policies favoring the coastal region are the fundamental force in determining the direction of spread-polarization processes in the Chinese space economy. This finding confirms Friedmann's hypothesis on spatial interaction, namely, that the spread process is a successful diffusion of the core's existing institutions into the periphery.
