On Specification in Spatial Econometric Models
(2007-11-05T19:25:39Z) Paelinck, Jean H.P.
Specification problems in spatial econometrics are particularly important, given the high complexity of the spatial – and temporal – relations involved; moreover asymmetry, heterogeneity, spatial bias, add to the number of problems to be solved. The author brought together a number of unpublished working papers in which he considers non-linear spatial dynamics, 0-1 and integer problems, finite automata and potentialized partial difference equations, topics he calls “non-standard” spatial econometrics, and presents solutions to the parameter estimation problems they raise. His only intention is to provoke reactions and discussion about highly debatable topics in spatial econometrics.
