Description
This course provides a theoretical and empirical overview of econometric techniques that may be used when studying spatial data. Spatial data consist of observations that interact in some sense: geographically, economically, socially, politically, etc. This interaction may express itself in behavioral patterns or in exposure to common shocks. Lectures cover economic theories that motivate interactive behavioral patterns, examine spatial-econometric techniques of estimation and hypothesis testing, discuss statistical software, and review empirical studies that apply those techniques. Evaluation is based on exams that focus on theory and interpretation, and assignments that focus primarily on empirical implementation.
