A number of authors have suggested that omitted variables affect spatial regression methods less than ordinary least-squares (OLS). To explore these conjectures, we derive an expression for OLS omitted variable bias in a univariate model with spatial dependence and show that positive dependence...

A space–time filter is set forth for spatial panel data situations that include random effects. We propose a general spatial dynamic specification that encompasses several spatiotemporal models previously used in the panel data literature. We apply the model to the case of highway induced...
