Predictions of future land use areas are an important issue as land use patterns significantly impact environmental conditions (biodiversity, water pollution, soil erosion, and climate change) as well as economic and social welfare. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of aggregated land...

Measurement error in an independent variable is one reason why OLS estimates may not be consistent. However, as shown by Dagenais (1994), in some circumstances the OLS bias may be ameliorated somewhat given the presence of serially correlated disturbances, and OLS may prove superior to standard...

<italic>Cet article s’intéresse au problème de l’endogénéité dans un cadre spatial. Nous analysons le cas où l’endogénéité provient d’une variable omise spatialement autocorrélée. Nous montrons, de façon théorique et à l’aide de simulations de Monte-Carlo, qu’une façon de...</italic>
