• Wednesday, October, 16: Spatial heterogeneity models and Big Data

Taught by Coro Chasco Yrigoyen

Spatial heterogeneity is the structural instability in the form of non-constant variance in the residuals of a regression or in the model’s coefficients, which can be addressed by traditional econometric techniques or spatial econometric tools. Their flexibility and fast execution make these models an exciting alternative for large databases. In this workshop, some of these models will be presented theoretically, indicating where to find databases and code to implement them.
