Spatial Vector Autoregressions

Abstract: A spatial vector autoregressive model (SpVAR) is defined as a VAR which includes spatial as well as temporal lags among a vector of stationary state variables. SpVARs may contain disturbances that are spatially as well as temporally correlated. Although the structural parameters are not fully identified in SpVARs, contemporaneous spatial lag coefficients may be identified by weakly exogenous state variables. Dynamic spatial panel data econometrics is used to estimate SpVARs. The incidental parameter problem is… Show more

“…Although the econometric analysis of dynamic panel models (Arellano and Bond (1998), Blundell and Bover (1998), Baltagi and Kao (2000)) has drawn a lot of attention in the last decade, econometric analysis of spatial and dynamic panel models is almost inexistent (Elhorst (2003), Kapoor, Kelejian and Prucha (2007), Lee and Yu (2007), Yu et al (2007) and Beenstock and Felsenstein (2007)). So This is the case with the analysis of the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).…”

“…We focus on two particular ones: an SVAR model proposed by Beenstock and Felsenstein (2007), and a dynamic heterogeneous-coefficients panel data model based on eigenvector SF (Griffith 2000(Griffith , 2003Patuelli et al 2012). We deliberately select two models belonging to two separate traditions: VAR models come from the time-series forecasting tradition, and are widely used, in macroeconomics, to study adjustment processes; the SF-augmented dynamic panel data model connects the panel data modelling tradition [e.g., least squares dummy variables (LSDV) models] to the spatial statistics one, within a semi-parametric framework.…”

“…Spatial weights matrices are positive, non-stochastic and their elements show the intensity of interdependence between pairs of spatial units, that is, eventually specify the neighbouring set for each spatial unit. In this paper, we follow the SVAR approach proposed by Beenstock and Felsenstein (2007) …”

“…Our interest here is to exploit the strong heterogeneity in the size (e.g., in terms of population or area) of NUTS regions at the same level of aggregation across countries to investigate the variation in the performance of different spatial econometric methods. We analyse the forecasting performance of two competing econometric methods: a spatial vector autoregressive (SVAR) model (Beenstock and Felsenstein 2007;Kuethe and Pede 2011) and a dynamic heterogeneous-coefficients panel data model based on an eigenvector-decomposition spatial filtering (SF) procedure (Griffith 2000(Griffith , 2003. The two models chosen belong to two separate traditions: VAR models represent the mainstream (time-series) forecasting tradition, while the SF-enhanced dynamic panel model attempts to merge the panel data modelling tradition to the spatial statistics one, within a semi-parametric framework.…”
