RRI Summer Course in Spatial Econometrics<http://rri.wvu.edu/rri-summer-courses-in-spatial-econometrics/> July 31- August 3, 2017 Location: Regional Research Institute, Morgantown WV Instructor: Gianfranco Piras
Description: The objective of the course is to provide a (not so short) introduction to spatial econometrics. Students will learn how to model and incorporate spatial dependencies into their empirical analyses. The course will cover basic as well as more advanced concepts ranging from the different typologies of spatial data, through the definition of connectivity in space (spatial weights matrices), to a comprehensive treatment of various spatial econometric models both cross-sectional as well as panel. Estimation methods presented will include MLE (maximum likelihood), GM (generalized method of moments), GLS (generalized least squares), and GS2SLS (generalized spatial two stage least squares). The latter part of the course will deal with special topics such as panel data models, and various testing procedures.
