*Measuring the Unmeasurable: Models of Geographical Context *

Presenter: Stewart Fotheringham (Arizona State University)

Moderator: Ling Bian (University at Buffalo)

Wednesday, October 18, 4:00-5:00pm Eastern (1-2pm Pacific)


The issue of whether place significantly affects spatial behavior has long
created both a philosophical and an operational schism within geography.
Here we show how these schisms can be bridged by identifying how place and
behavior can be linked through recognizing and incorporating what we term
intrinsic contextual effects and behavioral contextual effects into models
of spatial behavior. We argue that spatial modeling frameworks that attempt
to relate spatial behavior to aspects of people and places might be
seriously misspecified if they do not incorporate both types of contextual
effects. We compare three popular statistical modeling frameworks that
encompass placed-based contextual effects: spatial error models, multilevel
models, and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR). Using
data from the 2020 US Presidential election, we demonstrate the reassuring
similarity of the results from the three frameworks but also the
superiority of MGWR. The inclusion of essentially unmeasurable effects
within a nomothetic framework provides an important bridge between two
previously distinct philosophies within geography and acts as a binding
force within the discipline.
