We consider treatment effect estimation via a difference-in-difference approach for data with local spatial interaction such that the outcome of observed units depends on their own treatment as well as on the treatment status of proximate neighbors. We show that under standard assumptions...

spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics …. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and estimation of regression models explicitly incorporating such spatial …

We design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: the literature on absorptive capacity and the literature on spatial knowledge spillovers. Regions produce new knowledge, but only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...

Because of heterogeneity across regions, economic policy measures are increasingly targeted at the regional level. As a result, the need for economic forecasts at a sub-national level is rapidly increasing. The data available to compute regional forecasts is usually based on a pseudo-panel that...

Socio-economic interrelationships among regions can be measured in terms of economic flows, migration, or physical geographically-based measures, such as distance or length of shared areal unit boundaries. In general, proximity and openness tend to favour a similar economic performance among...

In contrast, studies on relative location tend to be weakly linked to theory, but apply relatively sophisticated … simple spatial autoregressive lag and error models abounds in the spatial econometrics literature. We assess the … appropriateness of such models, and identify areas of potential concern. The rather weak linkage between theory and operational models …
