We study the profitability of traders in two fully electronic and highly liquid markets: the Dow and Standard & Poor׳s 500 e-mini futures markets. Using unique information that identify counterparties to a transaction, we show and seek to explain the fact that the network pattern of trades...

Using national level input-output matrices, we propose a strategy to identify pecuniary externalities operating through the markets for intermediate goods at the local level. Then, controlling for common shocks in a spatial econometric framework, (i) we estimate the e®ect of pecuniary...

The purpose of this article is to analyze if spatial dependence is a synchronic effect, as it has usually been defined. It is known that in many socio-economic phenomena spatial dependence can be not only contemporary but also time-lagged. In this paper, we use two Moran-based space-time...

We describe the spreg command, which implements a maximum likelihood estimator and a generalized spatial two-stage least-squares estimator for the parameters of a linear cross-sectional spatial-autoregressive model with spatial-autoregressive disturbances. Copyright 2013 by StataCorp LP.

We present the spmat command for creating, managing, and storing spatial-weighting matrices, which are used to model interactions between spatial or more generally cross-sectional units. spmat can store spatial-weighting matrices in a general and banded form. We illustrate the use of the spmat...

We suggest and compare different methods for estimating spatial autoregressive panel models with randomly missing data in the dependent variable. We start with a random effects model and then generalize the model by introducing the spatial Mundlak approach. A nonlinear least squares method is...
