Spatial Econometric Analysis of the Hungarian Border Crossings

Abstract

The analysis on the border crossings, as the objects to decrease the separation effect, is really important for our country, to evaluate the connection of the neighbouring and other nearby countries and international economic centres with Hungary. In our country’s life the cross-border partnerships have an important role because of historical and cultural causes. In recent article, our task is to analyse changes of the cross-border traffic, with the help of the spatial econometrics. The goal is, to show the effect of five outstanding areas on the crossing traffic, and to analyse the spatial connection between them.
