Comment from the Stata technical group

Giuseppe Arbia's book, A Primer for Spatial Econometrics, is written for anyone wanting to learn and apply spatial econometrics in empirical research. The book is suitable for beginners because only undergraduate econometrics training is assumed. Those with more experience will also find it beneficial because it outlines the recent developments in spatial econometrics research.

The book is divided into five chapters. The first three chapters introduce readers to the foundation of spatial econometrics: classical linear regression, the spatial weighting matrix, and spatial linear autoregressive models. The fourth chapter outlines recent developments in spatial econometrics research, such as heterogeneity, spatial models for binary variables, the spatial panel-data model, and the endogenous spatial weighting matrix. Finally, the fifth chapter introduces alternative spatial model specifications for big datasets.

A good feature of this book is that there are sections dedicated to computer codes in Stata, R, and Python for each different spatial econometrics model. This allows readers to get practical experience to deepen their understanding of spatial econometrics theory.

In summary, A Primer for Spatial Econometrics, is a great introduction for researchers and students wanting to learn spatial econometrics from theoretical, empirical, and computational points of view.
