Article Citation - Scopus: 31Spatial Interaction Modeling of Interregional Commodity Flows(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Çelik, Hüseyin Murat; Guldmann, Jean-MichelDrawing from both the spatial price equilibrium theoretical framework and the empirical literature on spatial interaction modeling, this paper expands models of interregional commodity flows (CFs) by incorporating new variables and using a flexible Box-Cox functional form. The 1993 US commodity flows survey provides the empirical basis for estimating state-to-state flow models for 16 commodity groups over the 48 continental US states. The optimized Box-Cox specification proves to be superior to the multiplicative one in all cases, while selected variables provide new insights into the determinants of state-to-state CFs.
