System of panel models are popular models in applied sciences and the question of spatial errors has created the recent demand for spatial system estimation of panel models. Therefore we propose new diagnostic methods to explore if the spatial component will change significantly the outcome of...

Estimators of spatial autoregressive (SAR) models depend in a highly non-linear way on the spatial correlation parameter and least squares (LS) estimators cannot be computed in closed form. We first compare two simple LS estimators by distance and covariance properties and then we study the...

Spatial autoregressive models come with a variety of estimators and it is interesting and useful to compare the estimators by location and covariance properties. In this paper, we first study the local sensitivity behavior of the main least squares estimator by using matrix derivatives. We then...
