12.1 Entropy decomposition
Models of spatial macroeconomics base on certain regionalization of an economic space. In other words, an economic space must be described as a set of regions with a group of attributes (indicators). Sizes of regions and information on the values of corresponding indicators appear interconnected; as a rule, the smaller is a region, the less accessible is information on its indicators.
