Abstract
It has long been evident that two different representations of space are possible. In the continuous model, location is defined as a point in a spatial coordinate system. By way of contrast, the discrete model approximates space using an index of location. Each index stands for one region within a set of interacting (often contiguous) regions. Regional input-output analysis is a typical case in point.
