Developing spatial econometrics functions in R can not only enable analysts to advance our own techniques using convenient interpreted language features. Placing spatial econometrics and more generally spatial statistics in the context of an extensible data analysis environment also exposes similarities and differences between traditions of analysis. These can be fruitful, as is explored here i...

With 23 core econometrics journals now in operation, this study fills a gap the literature by cataloguing editorial specifications of each journal, and, more importantly, assessing their impact based on citations to research published over 15-year period beginning 2001 and ending 2015. Our investigation reveals that about one-half all publish an online format only, while others both in-print. A...

Behavioral econometrics is one part of a methodological trinity that includes theory, data collection and econometrics. Sometimes, on a good methodological day, there are few demands on the econometrician and the data can just be described and summarized, or elementary statistical tests applied. More often, latent structures from theory have to be estimated, and data collection has to be design...

By analyzing scholars’ research on econometrics, we can understand the hot topics of related and, based changes hotspots in different years, derive future application prospects. In this paper, literature to econometrics cnki and web science is selected as sample source, between 2010 2020 analyzed by visualization software citespace for authors, keywords, etc. Through study, it found that spatia...

One can have an impact on a field in a variety of ways such as papers published in prestigious journals, through service to associations, and through students. Certainly, James LeSage has published extensively in a variety of fields including economics and econometrics, regional science, spatial econometrics and statistics. He has helped organize sessions and performed other conference-related ...

We develop the likelihood ratio criterion (LRC) for testing the coefficients of a structural equation in a system of simultaneous equations in econometrics. We relate the likelihood ratio criterion to the AR statistic proposed by Anderson and Rubin (1949, 1950), which has been widely known and used in econometrics over the past several decades. The method originally developed by Anderson and Ru...
