Spatial Panel Data Analysis

The Model Representation Based on panel data models (pooled, fixed effects,

random effects), we consider: Spatial Lag Model Spatial Error Model

Spatial Error AR(1) Spatial Error MA(1) Spatial Error Components

Spatial Mixed Model T-first representation is more convenient to incorporate

parametric spatial panel data analysis
