On Two-step Estimation of a Spatial Autoregressive Model with Autoregressive Disturbances and Endogenous Regressors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider a spatial-autoregressive model with autoregressive disturbances, where we allow for endogenous regressors in addition to a spatial lag of the dependent variable. We suggest a two-step generalized method of moments (GMM) and instrumental variable (IV) estimation approach extending earlier work by, e.g., Kelejian and Prucha (1998, 1999). In contrast to those papers, we not only prove consistency for our GMM estimator for the spatial-autoregressive parameter in the disturbance process, but we also derive the joint limiting distribution for our GMM estimator and the IV estimator for the regression parameters. Thus the theory allows for a joint test of zero spatial interactions in the dependent variable, the exogenous variables and the disturbances. The paper also provides a Monte Carlo study to illustrate the performance of the estimator in small samples.1

Generalized Spatial Two Stage Least Squares Estimation of Spatial Autoregressive Models with Autoregressive Disturbances in the Presence of Endogenous Regressors and Many Instruments
This paper studies the generalized spatial two stage least squares (GS2SLS) estimation of spatial autoregressive models with autoregressive disturbances when there are endogenous regressors with many valid instruments. Using many instruments may improve the efficiency of estimators asymptotically, but the bias might be large in finite samples, making the inference inaccurate. We consider the ca...

This paper considers the IV estimation of spatial autoregressive models with endogenous regressors in the presence of many instruments. To improve asymptotic e¢ ciency, it may be desirable to use many valid instruments. However, nite sample properties of IV estimators can be sensitive to the number of instruments. For a spatial model with endogenous regressors, this paper derives the asymptoti...

We consider the problem of model selection in vector autoregressive model with Normal innovation. Tests such as Vuong's and Cox's tests are provided for order and model selection, i.e. for selecting the order and a suitable subset of regressors, in vector autoregressive model. We propose a test as a modified log-likelihood ratio test for selecting subsets of regressors. The Europe oil prices, ...
متن کاملEstimating a spatial autoregressive model with an endogenous spatial weight matrix
The spatial autoregressive model (SAR) is a standard tool to analyze data with spatial correlation. Conventional estimation methods rely on the key assumption that the spatial weight matrix W is strictly exogenous, which is likely to be violated in empirical analyses. This paper presents the speci cation and estimation of the SAR model with an endogenous spatial weight matrix. The outcome equat...
