Abstract
The spatial econometric literature has developed a large number of approaches that can handle spatial dependence and heterogeneity, yet almost all of these approaches are single equation techniques. For many regional economic problems there are both multiple endogenous variables and data on observations that interact across space. To date, researchers have often been in the undesirable position of having to choose between modeling spatial interactions in a single equation framework, or using multiple equations but losing the advantages of a spatial econometric approach. This chapter establishes a framework for applying spatial econometrics within the context of multi-equation systems. Specifically, we discuss the need for multi-equation spatial econometric models and we develop a general model that can subsume many interesting special cases. We also examine the small sample properties of common estimators for specific cases of the general model.
