A Primer for Spatial Econometrics: With Applications in R (Palgrave Texts in Econometrics) - Softcover

“The book is a very useful practical guide for applied researchers employing spatial econometrics tools. It could be adopted as the textbook for a first course in spatial economics/econometrics, and it comes as an easy-to-read book for students and researchers with a little knowledge in this field. ... it presents both basic concepts and more advanced topics in a synthetic but clear and rigorous manner, and this approach makes it an useful reference for applied (spatial) econometricians.” (Roberto Ganau, Italian Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 16 (1), January, 2017) 

This book aims at meeting the growing demand in the field by introducing the basic spatial econometrics methodologies to a wide variety of researchers. It provides a practical guide that illustrates the potential of spatial econometric modelling, discusses problems and solutions and interprets empirical results.
