Maximum likelihood estimation and lagrange multiplier tests for panel seemingly unrelated regressions with spatial lag and spatial errors : an application to hedonic housing prices...

Baltagi, Badi H.; Bresson, Georges - 2010

This paper proposes maximum likelihood estimators for panel seemingly unrelated regressions with both spatial lag and spatial error components. We study the general case where spatial effects are incorporated via spatial errors terms and via a spatial lag dependent variable and where the...

The social side of early human capital formation: using a field experiment to estimate the causal impact of neighborhoods

List, John A.; Momeni, Fatemeh; Zenou, Yves - 2020

The behavioral revolution within economics has been largely driven by psychological insights, with the sister sciences playing a lesser role. This study leverages insights from sociology to explore the role of neighborhoods on human capital formation at an early age. We do so by estimating the...

Immigration and the neighborhood

Saiz, Albert (contributor); Wachter, Susan M. (contributor) - 2006

What impact does immigration have on neighborhood dynamics? Within metropolitan areas, we find that housing values have grown relatively more slowly in neighborhoods of immigrant settlement. We propose three nonexclusive explanations: changes in housing quality, reverse causality, or the...

Neighborhood dynamics and the housing price effects of spatially targeted economic development policy

Krupka, Douglas J.; Noonan, Douglas S. - 2009

Neighborhoods are the result of a complicated interplay between residential choice, housing supply and the influences of the larger metropolitan system on its constituent parts. We model this interplay as a system of reduced-form equations in order to examine the effects of a generous spatially...
