Abstract Given the extreme dependence of agriculture on weather conditions, this paper analyses effect climatic variations economic sector, by considering both a huge data set and flexible spatiotemporal model specification. In particular, we study response N-fertilizer application to abnormal while accounting for other relevant control variables. The consists gridded spanning over 21 years (19...

Technology utilization is often considered one of the main drivers promoting inclusive development. As a form technology utilization, whether using internet can promote development has been concern for researchers and policymakers. Considering geographical connectivity characteristics, we examine effects penetration on by applying spatial econometric models data from 34 provinces in Indonesia 2...

We argue that the welfare inferences drawn from answers to subjective-qualitative survey questions are clouded by concerns over the structure of measurement errors and how latent psychological factors influence observed respondent characteristics. We propose a panel data model that allows more robust tests and we estimate the model on a high-quality survey for Russia. We find significant income...

An estimation framework and a user-friendly software implementation are described for maximum likelihood estimation of panel data models with random effects, a spatially lagged dependent variable and spatially and serially correlated errors. This specification extends static panel data models in the direction of serial error correlation, allowing richer modelling possibilities and more thorough...
