Motivating and Interpreting Spatial Econometric Models. Maximum Likelihood Estimation. Log-Determinants and Spatial Weights. Bayesian Spatial Econometric Models. Model Comparison. Spatiotemporal and Spatial Models. Spatial Econometric Interaction Models. Matrix Exponential Spatial Models. Limited Dependent Variable Spatial Models. References N2 - Although interest in spatial regression models has surged in recent years, a comprehensive, up-to-date text on these approaches does not exist. Filling this void, Introduction to Spatial Econometrics presents a variety of regression methods used to analyze spatial data samples that violate the traditional assumption of independence between observations. It explores a wide range of alternative topics, including maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation, various types of spatial regression specifications, and applied modeling situations involving different circumstances ER -
