squares estimation may be associated with two problems: spatial autocorrelation within the residuals, and spatial … autocorrelation within explanatory variables. This paper compares a spatial econometric solution with the spatial statistical Moran … eigenvector spatial filtering solution to accounting for spatial autocorrelation within model residuals. An example using patent …

autoregressive models, a unique W exists, and the strength of influence of the variable (or autocorrelation) is expressed through … solution space. Since the coefficients of W are a measure of the autocorrelation, the model is a linear function of the …. Simultaneously, the model may exhibit negative autocorrelation at short distances, caused by substitution effects, and positive …

multiple forms of spatial autocorrelation embedded in “directional” trade flows. The authors apply this improved model to …
