A Family of Spatial Interaction Models, and Associated Developments
Abstract
This paper shows that the gravity model is not a single model but that there is a whole family of spatial interaction models. The properties of this family are outlined in some detail. Basic concepts of such models can be developed in a variety of ways, and these are illustrated. The paper then outlines a number of other theoretical developments, and is particularly concerned with the disaggregation of such models, with the incorporation of time variables, and with the relation of spatial interaction, to more general, models. Uses of spatial interaction models are outlined briefly and the final section of the paper draws a number of conclusions and presents a summary.

“Chapter 6 of a recent book by the author discusses the role of entropy maximising methods in the analysis of utility maximising systems (Wilson, 1970c). As usual, any related entropy maximising model arises from a statistical averaging process, and in this case, it is sometimes useful to imagine that some of our model…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
