Abstract

Some robust approaches are outlined that form a basis for a more realistic statistical inference in spatial econometric models. Three specific issues are addressed: significance tests on coefficients in the spatial expansion method that are robust to the presence of heteroskedasticity of unknown form; heteroskedasticity-robust specification tests for spatial dependence; and boot-strap estimation in spatial autoregressive models. The techniques are presented in formal terms and their application to spatial analysis is illustrated in a number of simple empirical examples.
