PRESENTATION

This course introduces students to spatial econometrics, in order to provide them a useful technical tool to analyze innovation, industrial, and growth dynamics.

Spatial econometrics is a subfield of econometrics which intersects with spatial analysis, and itis used to analyze spatial dependence among observations, which often arises when observations are collected from points orregions located in space.

Spatial econometrics represents a methodology which has been acquiring more and more relevance during the recent years within the econometric literature, and it has been used extensively in different fields in economics, such as industrial organization, international economics, and growth.

The course is structured as follows.The first 15 hours will be devoted to theory, in order to provide to students the necessary theoretical foundations of spatial econometrics.

Subsequently, 5 hours will involve empirical exercises with the usage of Stata, R and GeoDa.This will help students to familiarize with the most common routines utilized in Stata and R for spatial econometric analysis.
