Comparing Implementations of Estimation Methods for Spatial Econometrics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-01)Recent advances in the implementation of spatial econometrics model estimation tech- niques have made it desirable to compare results, which should correspond between im- plementations across software applications for ... -
Spatial Data Analysis with R-INLA with Some Extensions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-01)The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) provides an interesting way of approximating the posterior marginals of a wide range of Bayesian hierarchical models. This approximation is based on conducting a Laplace ... -

After "Raising the Bar'': applied maximum likelihood estimation of families of models in spatial econometrics.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Elhorst (2010) shows how the recent publication of LeSage and Pace (2009) in his expression “raises the bar” for our fitting of spatial econometrics models. By extending the family of models that deserve attention, Elhorst ... -
Business Training in Tanzania: From Research-driven Experiment to Local Implementation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Field experiments documenting positive treatment effects have a strong policy message: scale up! However, such experiments are typically implemented under close supervision of the research group in charge of the study. In ... -
Adjusting for age effects in cross-sectional distributions
