Spatial Econometrics

More about the book

The book addresses the growing interest in regional economic convergence and spatial data analysis among economists. It fills a gap in existing literature by providing a theoretically grounded yet accessible introduction to spatial econometric techniques, which are often overlooked in mainstream econometric textbooks. By using real data examples, it motivates readers and offers a rigorous exploration of the basic spatial linear model, while also addressing common violations of classical regression assumptions in spatial contexts.
