Spatial econometrics

Chapter 6 in Handbook of Spatial Analysis in the Social Sciences, 2022, pp 101-122 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Spatial econometrics is a subfield of econometrics that deals with the incorporation of spatial effects (spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity) in regression models. This chapter reviews the main forms through which spatial effects have been embedded in model specification, as well as its implications for estimation and diagnostic testing. It starts with an overview of the classic spatial lag and spatial error models and variants of these specifications, as well as the interpretation of direct and indirect effects. It provides a brief review of specifications for spatial heterogeneity. The main paradigms for estimation and inference are presented as well as some recent extensions of the basic model.
