1 Lyons and Morgan are correspondingly at pains to deny that geographical proximity of states (region) has any consequences for the behavior of states or cities. I disagree with their absolutist position and believe proximity is often a facilitator and sometimes a necessary condition of types of interactions among states. I agree, however, that region cannot be used analytically unless its role is carefully modeled.
