Measurement errors arising when using distances in microeconometric modelling and the individuals' position is geo-masked for confidentiality

Arbia, Giuseppa; Espa, Giuseppe; Giuliani, Diego - In: Econometrics 3 (2015) 4, pp. 709-718

In many microeconometric models we use distances. For instance, in modelling the individual behavior in labor economics or in health studies, the distance from a relevant point of interest (such as a hospital or a workplace) is often used as a predictor in a regression framework. However, in...

Sengupta, Aparna - In: Econometrics 5 (2017) 1, pp. 1-17

We consider the problem of testing for a structural break in the spatial lag parameter in a panel model (spatial autoregressive). We propose a likelihood ratio test of the null hypothesis of no break against the alternative hypothesis of a single break. The limiting distribution of the test is...
