Abstract: The article provides an overview of the main spatial-econometric models and notes the shortcomings that limit their application to the description of the processes taking place in large heterogeneous countries, such as Russia. The main approaches and modifications of the models are given, which make it possible to take into account Russian conditions, and a brief description of the basic articles is given in which spatial-econometric toolkit is applied to Russian data. A very promising direction in the development of spatial-econometric methods is the improvement of methods for assessing of government programs, therefore, the article describes the main approaches how to do this.
