This book provides theoretical and methodological advances in specification and estimation of spatial econometric models, state-of-the-art information on the development of tools and software, and various applications. It introduces new tests and estimators for spatial regression models, including discrete choice and simultaneous equation models. The performance of techniques is demonstrated through simulation results and a wide array of applications related to economic growth, international trade, knowledge externalities, population-employment dynamics, urban crime, land use, and environmental issues. Newly developed software and programming tools are introduced. World-renowned experts in spatial statistics and spatial econometrics present the cutting edge of this field of research. The volume is relevant for academics with a theoretical interest in spatial statistics and econometrics and for practitioners looking for modern, up-to-date techniques to analyse spatial data.

Written for:
Academics libraries, scientists, researchers, lecturers, practitioners, professionals, graduates, undergraduates in the areas: spatial econometrics and statistics, economics, geographic information science, regional science, sociology and political science

Keywords:
Spatial econometrics
misspecification tests
regression models
software
spatial statistics


Personal Note
This book was quite fun to produce. We made heavy use of several open source tools to do this book. LaTeX for the typesetting together with some Python scripts to generate the author index as well as the subject index. We learned a bunch in the process and are looking forward to doing this again soon.
