Summary

This chapter deals with

  • Spatial econometrics notions

  • Handling spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity through spatial econometric models

  • Diagnostics for spatial dependence (Lagrange multiplier tests)

  • Spatial autoregressive model (SAR)

  • Spatial error model

  • Spatial filtering

  • Spatial regression with regimes

  • Spatial two-stage least squares (S2SLS)

  • Maximum likelihood

  • Generalized method of moments (GMM)

After a thorough study of the theory and lab sections, you will be able to

  • Distinguish which spatial regression method to use in order to account for spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity

  • Interpret spatial diagnostics used in OLS regression that can guide you to the appropriate spatial regression model

  • Build spatial regression models and interpret results

  • Identify if spatial dependence or spatial heterogeneity is accounted for by the adopted method

  • Conduct spatial econometric analysis through GeoDa space
