This text provides an introduction to spatial econometric theory along with numerous applied
illustrations of the models and methods described. The applications utilize a set of MATLAB …

In the introduction to New Directions in Spatial Econometrics (Anselin and Florax, 1995b),
the precursor to the current volume, we set out by arguing that “it would be an overstatement …

CHAPTER 2 THE SCOPE OF SPATIAL ECONOMETRICS Page 1 CHAPTER 2 THE SCOPE
OF SPATIAL ECONOMETRICS In this first chapter in Part I, I outline the scope of the book in …

Spatial Econometrics provides a modern, powerful and flexible skillset to early career
researchers interested in entering this rapidly expanding discipline. It articulates the …

Spatial econometrics has relied extensively on spatial autoregressive models. Anselin
(1988) developed a taxonomy of these models using a regression model framework and …

Spatial econometrics deals with spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity, critical
aspects of the data used by regional scientists. These characteristics may cause standard …

The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we give an overview of the general direction the
spatial econometrics literature has taken without attempting to provide a representative …

There is near universal agreement that estimates and inferences from spatial regression
models are sensitive to particular specifications used for the spatial weight structure in these …

We extend the literature on Bayesian model comparison for ordinary least‐squares
regression models to include spatial autoregressive and spatial error models. Our focus is …

The volume on New Directions in Spatial Econometrics appeared in 1995 as one of the first
in the then new Springer series on Advances in Spatial Sciences. It very quickly became …
