Spatial econometrics has recently been appraised in a theme issue of the Journal of Regional Science. Partridge et al. (2012) provide an overview of the three contributing papers, the most critical being Gibbons and Overman (2012). Although some of the critiques raised are valid, they are issues...

<title>Abstract</title> Using data from Abiad <italic>et al</italic>. (2008), we estimate a dynamic spatial panel data model with country and time-period fixed effects to test for spatial cointegration in the financial liberalization index. Parameter estimates are obtained by reformulating the model in spatial...

This study investigates the causes of variation in regional unemployment rates in a cross-country perspective. The explanatory variables consist of both regional-level and macro-level variables. An appropriate econometric model of random coefficients for the former and fixed coefficients for the...

This paper tests the feasibility and empirical implications of a spatial econometric model with a full set of interaction effects and weight matrix defined as an equally weighted group interaction matrix applied to research productivity of individuals. We also elaborate two extensions of this...

The aim of this article is to assess a proposed new mode of guided high speed ground transportation, the magnetic levitation rail system (Maglev), and to compare the results of a partial cost-benefit analysis with those of an integral CBA. We deal with an urbanconglomeration as well as a...

This paper hammers out the estimation of a fixed effects dynamic panel data model extended either to include spatial error autocorrelation or a spatially lagged dependent variable. To overcome the inconsistencies associated with the traditional least squares dummy estimator, the models are...
