Advances in Spatial Econometrics
Methodology, Tools and Applications

Written by world-renowned experts in spatial statistics and spatial econometrics, this book presents the advances in specification and estimation of spatial econometric models. It also introduces new tests and estimators for spatial regression models, including discrete choice and simultaneous equation models.

World-renowned experts in spatial statistics and spatial econometrics present the latest advances in specification and estimation of spatial econometric models. This includes information on the development of tools and software, and various applications. The text introduces new tests and estimators for spatial regression models, including discrete choice and simultaneous equation models. The performance of techniques is demonstrated through simulation results and a wide array of applications related to economic growth, international trade, knowledge externalities, population-employment dynamics, urban crime, land use, and environmental issues. An exciting new text for academics with a theoretical interest in spatial statistics and econometrics, and for practitioners looking for modern and up-to-date techniques.
