This paper explores the properties of pre-test strategies in estimating a linear Cliff-Ord-type spatial model when the researcher is unsure about the nature of the spatial dependence. More specifically, the paper explores the finite sample properties of the pre-test estimators introduced in...

Many important economic problems require measures of physical and R&D capital. Except for some recent studies, there have been relatively few contributions in the literature that provide econometric estimates for the depreciation rates of physical and R&D capital. One reason for the relative...

Numerous studies on production and cost, the sources of productivity and studies on endogenous growth have recognized the pivotal role of the physical capital stock. Also there is a clear recognition by economists and policy makers that knowledge capital approximated by R&D capital is crucial...

The paper proposes a refinement of the generalized spatial two-stage and threestage least squares estimators for simultaneous systems of equations with network interdependence, recently introduced in Drukker, Egger and Prucha (2022). Specifically, we propose a refined weighting of the moment...
