Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the major components of population change in Asturias, as well as to find empirical evidence of several social phenomena that can be expected to be associated with population decline from a theoretical point of view. These social phenomena are ageing, human capital, economic resources, housing, local services, and tourism. Linear regression models are calculated as sophisticated description to prove these associations, as the causality direction is not clear from a theoretical point of view. A multivariate regression model is calculated as well. For those variables for which no appropriate data is available to calculate a regression model, a more simple analysis and literature review is done to prove the associations. The Koenker tests suggest that the relationships modelled are stationary and that geographically weighted regression models would not add any relevant information to the study.
