This paper derives two simple artificial Double Length Regressions (DLR) to test for spatial dependence. The first DLR tests for spatial lag dependence while the second DLR tests for spatial error dependence. Both artificial regressions utilize only least squares residuals of the restricted...

We identify the driving factors of manufacturing activity across Chinese provinces with a particular focus on energy endowments. A model of production location is estimated, including both comparative advantage and economic geography determinants. The data set used consists of a panel of 28...

The revised edition of this book captures new developments in economics and finance. Turning its focus towards the application of Engle's (1982) autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) in cutting-edge research and a discussion of whether energy prices reflect long memory, this book...

This paper considers a quasi-maximum likelihood estimation for a linear panel data model with time and individual fixed effects, where the disturbances have dynamic and spatial correlations which might be spatially stable or unstable. We first consider both separable and nonseparable...

Clusters have already been extensively shown to favor firm-level economic performance (productivity, exports, innovation etc.). However, little is known about the capacity of firms in clusters to resist economic shocks. In this paper, we analyze whether firms that agglomerate in clusters and...

En este trabajo analizamos la situación actual de la Econometría espacial, como disciplina de naturaleza econométrica especializada en el manejo de datos y relaciones de tipo espacial. Se trata de un campo de investigación que ha evolucionado muy rápidamente en las últimas décadas...
