Spatial Econometric AnalysisUsing GAUSS 1 Kuan-Pin LinPortland State University
Introduction to Spatial Econometric Analysis • Spatial Data • Cross Section • Panel Data • Spatial Dependence • Spatial Heterogeneity • Spatial Autocorrelation
Spatial Dependence • Least Squares Estimator
Spatial DependenceNonparametric Treatment • Robust Inference • Spatial Heteroscedasticity Autocorrelation Variance-Covariance Matrix
Spatial DependenceNonparametric Treatment • SHAC Estimator • Kernel Function • Normalized Distance
Spatial DependenceParametric Representation • Spatial Weights Matrix • Spatial Contiguity • Geographical Distance • First Law of Geography: Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things. • K-Nearest Neighbors
Spatial DependenceParametric Representation • Characteristics of Spatial Weights Matrix • Sparseness • Weights Distribution • Eigenvalues • Higher-Order of Spatial Weights Matrix • W2, W3, … • Redundandency • Circularity
Spatial Weights MatrixAn Example • 3x3 Rook Contiguity • List of 9 Observations with 1-st Order Contiguity, #NZ=24
Spatial Lag Variables • Spatial Independent Variables • Spatial Dependent Variables • Spatial Error Variables
Spatial Econometric Models • Linear Regression Model with Spatial Variables • Spatial Lag Model • Spatial Mixed Model • Spatial Error Model
Examples • Anselin (1988): Crime Equation • Basic Model(Crime Rate) = a + b (Family Income) + g (Housing Value) + e • Spatial Lag Model(Crime Rate) = a + b (Family Income) + g (Housing Value) + l W (Crime Rate) + e • Spatial Error Model(Crime Rate) = a + b (Family Income) + g (Housing Value) + ee = r We + u • Data (anselin.txt, anselin_w.txt)
Examples • China Provincial GDP Output Function • Basic Modelln(GDP) = a + b ln(L) + g ln(K) + e • Spatial Mixed Model ln(GDP) = a + b ln(L) + g ln(K) + bw W ln(L) + gw W ln(K) + l W ln(GDP) + e • Data (china_gdp.txt, china_l.txt, china_k.txt, china_w.txt)
Examples • Ertur and Kosh (2007): International Technological Interdependence and Spatial Externalities • 91 countries, growth convergence in 36 years (1960-1995) • Spatial Lag Solow Growth Modelln(y(t)) - ln(y(0)) = a + b ln(y(0)) + g ln(s) + g ln(n+g+d) + l W ln(y(t)) - ln(y(0))) + e • Data (data-ek.txt)
