Webinar content:
What is spatial econometrics? How does it relate to econometrics and to other fields of modelling with spatial data?
Which estimation methods are used in spatial econometrics, which are specific to spatial econometrics, and which share with proximate fields?
How are spatial (and spatio-temporal) data represented in R packages, and which packages provide implementations of relevant estimation methods?
