    This effect originates from the ignorance of interdependences that occur outside the bounded region. [13] Griffith [14] [8] and Griffith and Amrhein [15] highlighted problems according to the edge effect. A typical example is a cross-boundary influence such as cross-border jobs, services and other resources located in a neighbouring ...
