A PRIMER FOR SPATIAL ECONOMETRICSWith Applications in R

这本书比较适合空间计量初学者，模型也是最简单的几个，但是针对这几个模型提供的估计方法很全面，每节之后也会有一个小例子帮助理解。高深专题并未做过多的探讨，但提供了大致方向。

每章后面有着极其详细的R程序，就像手把手教你用R做空间计量一样，是一本很友好的空间计量教材。

然而由于作者为意大利人，符号的表示上可能与我们所使用的有着细微的不同。书中也有几处错误，希望读者能够提出质疑，并独立思考与解决。


A Primer in Spatial Econometrics aims at meeting the growing demand in the field by introducing basic spatial econometrics methodologies to a wide variety of researchers. Spatial econometrics is a relatively new topic that is enjoying a widely dispersed growth in many of the social sciences. Readers will find this text to be an approachable, informative springboard to their own research and an invaluable support for those that want to start working immediately with the methods. It moves beyond previous studies as it is explicitly aimed at bridging the gap between a basic econometric textbook and more specialized texts in the subject.This book provides a practical guide that illustrates the potential of spatial econometric modelling, discusses problems and solutions and enables the reader to correctly interpret empirical results and to start working with the methods. It provides essential notions and key insights as well as providing references for further reading to more in-depth discussions. Readers will appreciate the extensive presentation of examples in "R", which has emerged as the software of choice for model builders in this area. The text is integrated with real numerical examples, problem sets and practical exercises and also contains the description of the essential computer codes of the statistical software "R".
