Abstract

In this paper we show the capacity of a new nonparametric test based on entropy and symbolic dynamics to deal with the detection of spatial causality. The good performance of the new test in to detect causal relationships is considered by numerical experiments, and through an empirical application of spatial causality between unemployment and migration for 103 Italian provinces.
