Description:

This is an introductory course on Spatial Econometrics. It aims at introducing the problems related with handling spatial data, discussing the properties of the basic econometric models, providing the students with the necessary skills to estimate these models in the R © environment and providing them with a broad overview of the most recent developments and refinements of the basic models. 
The course includes:

  • Basic spatial definitions, descriptive spatial measures and local indicators, the definition of the topology of a spatial system and of the weight matrix specification
  • Estimation and hypothesis testing of the general SARAR model
  • Heteroskedastic models
  • Non-linear models for binary dependent variables
  • Non-stationary models and Geographically Weighted Regression
  • Introduction to spatial panel data models
  • Methods for big spatial data.

Prerequisites: 
A basic understanding of linear models
