Book Review

摘要

This book covers maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation for various spatial models. Each chapter typically begins with model motivation and specification, followed by theoretical explanations of these models, and finishes with empirical illustrations. This textbook is a good resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, and it provides a useful tool for empirical researchers who are interested in the application of spatial models.rnAfter the seminal textbooks by Paelinck and Klaassen (1979) and Anselin (1988), few textbooks have been about spatial econometrics, although this field experienced much progress.
