Sammendrag
In the extended topical sphere of Regional Science, more scholars are addressing
empirical questions using spatial and spatio-temoral data. An emerging challenge
is to alert “new arrivals” to existing bodies of knowledge that can inform the ways
in which they structure their work. It is a particular matter of opportunity and
concern that most of the data used is secondary. This contribution is a brief review
of questions of system articulation and support, illuminated retrospectively by a
deconstruction of the Harrison and Rubinfeld (1978) Boston data set and hedonic
house value analysis used to elicit willingness to pay for clean air.
