Abstract
Interaction analysis has become an important topic in social science research. Especially in spatial interaction analysis - dealing with flows of commodities, persons, information etc. between regions in a spatial system - much attention has been devoted to models incorporating the push and pull effects as well as the distance friction effects between regions. In this context, the traditional gravity model has become a very popular analytical tool. From the seventies onwards it has increasingly been realized that entropy theory - originating from statistical mechanics or from information theory - might provide a new foundation for the use of the gravity model (see, for instance, Wilson, 1970; Batten, 1983; Haynes and Fotheringham, 1984).
