Abstract

Regional science is about integrating different spatial disciplines, in particular spatial economics and economic geography. In this spirit a first study bears on the envelopment of production units inside an urban technological complex, comparing natural and logarithmic envelopments from the point of view of their respective representative efficiency. A second and related study treats the reverse problem: given Manhattan distances between production units, which are their respective locations?
