Spatial heterogeneity, spatial dependence and spatial scale constitute key features of spatial analysis of housing markets. However, the common practice of modelling spatial dependence as being generated by spatial interactions through a known spatial weights matrix is often not satisfactory....

Theories of firm profitability make different predictions about the relative importance of firm, industry and time specific factors. We assess, empirically, the relevance of these effects over a sixteen year period in India, as a regime of control and regulation, pre 1985, gave way to partial...

While estimates of models with spatial interaction are very sensitive to the choice of spatial weights, considerable uncertainty surrounds definition of spatial weights in most studies with cross-section dependence. We show that, in the spatial error model the spatial weights matrix is only...
