Abstract: Abstract In this paper, I give a personal view on the development of the field of spatial econometrics during the past 30 years. I argue that it has moved from the margins to the mainstream of applied econometrics and social science methodology. I distinguish three broad phases in the development, which I refer to as preconditions, take off and maturity. For each of these phases I describe the main methodological focus and list major contributions. I conclude with some speculations about future directions. Resumen En este artículo, expongo mi opinión personal sobre el avance en el campo de la econometría espacial durante los últimos 30 años. Mi argumento es que ha pasado de estar en la periferia de la econometría espacial y la metodología de ciencias sociales a ser algo corriente. Hago la distinción entre tres fases principales en el avance, a las que denomino precondiciones, arranque y madurez. Para cada una de estas fases describo el objetivo metodológico principal y proporciono un listado con las contribuciones principales. Concluyo con especulaciones sobre posibles direcciones en el futuro.
