Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) is a simple and powerful non-parametric technique that automatizes the selection of non-linear terms in regression models. Non-linearities and spatial effects are natural characteristics in numerous spatial hedonic pricing models. In this paper, we...

The seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) equations are a traditional multivariate econometric formulation employed in very different fields including, obviously, spatial analysis. The basis of the approach is very well known due to the initial works of Zellner (1962), Theil (1971), Malinvaud...
