Cross sectional dependence in spatial econometric models

Viac o knihe

This book is concerned with spatial dependence in econometric models, offering a work of reference to the applied researcher. In economics, spatial aspects are usually somewhat disregarded, which - as is shown and quantified here - may seriously impair research results. It presents the basic tool kit of treating cross sectional dependence, which typically occurs between spatial observations. The methods are introduced as straightforward enhancement of standard econometric models and methods, placing emphasis on the practical aspects of their features.
