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.
"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."
