An extension of the Holly and Gardiol (2000) and Baltagi et al. (2009) papers to the two way context, with heteroskedastic and spatially correlated disturbances is considered. One then derives a joint LM test for homoskedasticity and no spatial correlation. In addition, two conditional LM tests...

ABSTRACTThis paper extends the ‘remarkable property’ of Breusch (Journal of Econometrics 1987; <b>36</b>: 383–389) and Baltagi and Li (Journal of Econometrics 1992; <b>53</b>: 45–51) to the three‐way random components framework. Indeed, like its one‐way and two‐way counterparts, the three‐way random...
