SAR models for cross-sectional data

Linear models with autoregressive errors and spatial lags of the dependent and independent variables

Generalized method of moments estimator GS2SLS (generalized spatial two-stage least squares)

Spatial lags and autoregressive error terms given by one or more spatial weighting matrices

Heteroskedastic errors

Maximum-likelihood estimator

Robust standard errors

Constraints

Instrumental-variables spatial linear models

SAR models for panel data

Fixed-effects maximum-likelihood linear models

Random-effects maximum-likelihood linear models

Model panel-level effects and normal i.i.d. or with the same autoregressive form as the time-level errors
