This book bridges the gap between economic theory and spatial econometric techniques. It is accessible to those with only a basic statistical background and no prior knowledge of spatial econometric methods. It provides a comprehensive treatment of the topic, motivating the reader with examples and analysis. The volume provides a rigorous treatment of the basic spatial linear model, and it discusses the violations of the classical regression assumptions that occur when dealing with spatial data.
"Arbia’s relatively short text contains six chapters devoted to spatial econometrics, and the author indicates it could be used ‘as a textbook for post-graduate introductory course of around 20/30 hours, or as a reference book for post-graduate students engaged in Ph.D. work on quantitative economics (or other social sciences), involving spatial econometric estimation problems’ … ."
