Review

“The book is a very useful practical guide for applied researchers employing spatial econometrics tools. It could be adopted as the textbook for a first course in spatial economics/econometrics, and it comes as an easy-to-read book for students and researchers with a little knowledge in this field. ... it presents both basic concepts and more advanced topics in a synthetic but clear and rigorous manner, and this approach makes it an useful reference for applied (spatial) econometricians.” (Roberto Ganau, Italian Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 16 (1), January, 2017)
