THE FUTURE OF SPATIAL ECONOMETRICS
概述空间计量经济学的发展方向,指出尚未解决的问题,并倡导新理论应源于实际经验应用而非现有方法的简单扩展。
ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, we give an overview of the general direction the spatial econometrics literature has taken without attempting to provide a representative survey of all interesting work that has appeared. Second, we identify a number of problems in spatial econometrics that are as yet unresolved. Finally, we provide advocacy for the notion that new spatial econometric theory should be inspired by actual empirical applications as opposed to being directed by what appears to be the most obvious extension of what is currently available.
