Three essays in spatial econometrics
A focus on location and spatial interaction has recently gained a more central place not only in applied econometrics but also in theoretical econometrics. The standard econometric techniques often fail in the presence of spatial autocorrelation, which is commonplace in geographic (cross-sectional) …

Essays on Public Economics and Spatial Econometrics
… purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial interdependence of fiscal variables (budget balance, tax revenue, and public expenditure) and the spillover effect of conflict on the level of local jurisdictions. The first study provides an empirical investigation of fiscal interactions in …

Essays On Spatial Econometrics: Estimation Methods And Applications
… on the estimation methods and applications of spatial econometrics models. In the first essay, we consider a spatial econometric model containing spatial lags in the dependent variable and the disturbance terms with an unknown form of heteroskedasticity in the innovations. We first prove that …

Three Essays on the Spatial Autoregressive Model in Spatial Econometrics
The spatial autoregressive model (SAR) is a standard tool to analyze spatial data. It is of great interest in econometrics because it has a game structure and, therefore, can be interpreted as a reaction function: the outcome or behavior of observations at one location is directly affected by those …

Essays in Spatial Econometrics: Estimation, Specification Test and the Bootstrap
… three chapters covering the following topics in spatial econometrics: estimation, specification and the bootstrap.</p><p>In Chapter 1, we first generalize an approximate measure of spatial dependence, the APLE statistic in Li et al (2007), to a spatial Durbin (SD) model. This generalized APLE …

Three essays on spatial econometrics with an emphasis on testing
Spatial Modeling has been one of the important parts in Applied Econometrics as well as Econometrics Theory in the past thirty years, not only because of the nature that the geographic locations and interactions play a crucial role in forming behavior, but also because of the challenging problems …

Advances in spatial econometrics and the political economy of local housing supply
… effects between small regional governments using spatial econometric methods. The second part focuses on patterns within municipalities and inspects which institutions of citizen participation, elections and local petitions, influence local housing policies.

Spatial Econometrics Revisited: A Case Study of Land Values in Roanoke County
… literature demonstrates the possibility of spatial autocorrelation in land value models. A number of objections regarding the methodology followed in those empirical studies have been raised. This thesis examines three propositions. The first proposition states that there is spatial …

Essays on Industrial Agglomeration and Input-Output Linkages
… dimensions call for research that can take both spatial and industry factors into consideration regarding industrial agglomeration. Despite the advance of economic theories on agglomeration, empirical studies that satisfactorily incorporate spatial and industrial dimensions are very few. My …

Recessions, Recoveries and Regional Resilience: an econometric perspective
… recent developments and extensions incorporating spatial econometrics techniques. Chapter II investigates transient and permanent asymmetric effects of national-wide recessions across Italian regions during the last thirty years, by proposing the recent resilience framework as an helpful …

Who Sets the Template? Institutional Design Replication in Interlocal Agreements
… a combination of computational text analysis, spatial econometrics, and relational event modeling. The first essay measures institutional design replication using cosine similarity of agreement text and finds it to be widespread. Governments frequently extend designs from their own prior …

Integrating AI and GIS for Climate-Driven Malaria Monitoring and Demand-Based Resource Distribution and Supply Optimization in Low Developing Countries
… mixed-methods approach, the research utilized Spatial Autoregressive Models (SAR), Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), and Random Forest machine learning (R2 = .86) to analyze transmission dynamics. Key findings reveal that minimum temperature is the strongest predictor of transmission (p …

Voter Participation Across Space and Time: Institutions, Contexts, and Citizens, 1828--2000
… from 1828 through 2000. Using recent advances in spatial econometrics, the dissertation produces three central findings. Turnout is not the apolitical phenomenon suggested by many survey studies. Instead, turnout has been shaped significantly by institutional factors such as election laws, local …

Regional Resilience: Are recessionary shocks persistent or transitory?
… has a well-established literature in both spatial econometrics and in mainstream econometrics and is of considerable importance given the post-2008 economic crisis, which is characterised by a period of severe global instability resulting from unprecedented economic shocks. Martin et al. …

Three essays on conservation: policy design, risk management and impact evaluation
… contributes to development of methods for spatial conservation portfolios by developing a tractable approach to manage the downside risk associated with climate-change induced variation in future conservation outcomes across space. This work identifies risk-reducing portfolio of …

The Geographic and Social Distance in Finance
… and the macro economy. Network analysis and spatial econometrics take account of information spill-overs and constraints of behaviors as consequence of the geographical and Social distance between and among individuals. In this research, we apply those techniques to analyze aspects of …

Path and place : a study of urban geometry and retail activity in Cambridge and Somerville, MA
… the distribution of retailers is affected by the spatial configuration of the built environment -- the physical pattern of urban infrastructure, the spacing and sizes of buildings, and the geometry of circulation routes. We argue that understanding retail location patterns in urban settings is not …

NAFTA's distributional effect on Mexico: three essays in regional economics
… in traded and non-traded sectors. Given the spatial nature of these data, we also make explicit use of spatial econometrics methods. We find that NAFTA caused the wealthy regions nearest to the border to grow faster than others, increasing regional disparity. To confirm that these changes are …

Evaluating the homogeneity of preferences across resident and nonresident elk hunters in Colorado
… In order to allow for different levels of spatial correlation, two models are estimated with one model for resident applications and one with nonresident applications. Upon finding that there is spatial correlation of OLS residuals, spatial error models are fitted to the resident and …
