Abstract
This study examines the spatial panel Durbin model with convex combinations of different spatial weight matrices. These combinations are present not only in the spatial lag of the dependent variable but also in the spatial lags of the explanatory variables. Moreover, the combination coefficients in the spatially lagged dependent and explanatory variables may differ. An adaptive MCMC sampling method is used for the Bayesian estimation of this model. Additionally, this study explores model selection issues using the posterior Bayesian information criterion.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
