Impact Estimates For Static Spatial Panel Data Models In R, Gianfranco Piras Jan 2013

Impact Estimates For Static Spatial Panel Data Models In R, Gianfranco Piras

Regional Research Institute Working Papers

In the present note we demonstrate how to implement the Lee and Yu (2010) procedure for fixed effects spatial panel data models available from the R (R Development Core Team 2012) package splm (Millo and Piras 2012). Additionally, we also show how to compute the impact estimates introduced by Kelejian, Tavlas, and Hondroyiannis (2006) and formalized in LeSage and Pace (2009). Unlike Matlab (MATLAB 2011), there was no R function specific to static panel data models for the calculation of the impact measures. After receiving numerous requests from the users of splm, we decided to extend the cross sectional functions …
