Giuseppe Arbia (born July 3, 1958) is an Italian statistician. He is known for his contributions to the field of spatial statistics and spatial econometrics. In 2006 together with Jean Paelinck he founded the Spatial Econometrics Association, which he has been chairing ever since.[1]
Education and career
[edit]Giuseppe Arbia earned his bachelor's degree cum laude from Sapienza University of Rome in 1981, and the Doctor of Philosophy from Cambridge University in 1987. In 1994 he become full professor. He currently holds the chair of Economic Statistics at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan[2] and he is also Lecturer at the University of Italian Switzerland in Lugano.[3] He is the Leading Editor of the book series Spatial Statistics and Spatial Econometrics, by Elsevier, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Spatial Econometrics, by Springer-Verlag and Director of the Spatial Econometrics Advanced Institute. In his career he published 8 books and more than 200 articles, book chapters and reviews.[4] He is credited with coining Arbia's law of geography, also known as the second law of geography.[5][6][7]
