The book "Spatial Econometrics" by Giuseppe Arbia provides a solid introduction to the methods of spatial econometrics. It is aimed at economists who wish to engage in the empirical analysis of regional and spatial data without needing specialized knowledge in quantitative economics or statistics. In recent years, interest in new economic geography and regional economic convergence has increased, highlighting the need for an accessible textbook. This work bridges the gap between economic theory and spatial statistical methods by using practical examples to motivate readers. It covers the fundamental spatial linear models and discusses the common violations of classical regression assumptions that can occur when analyzing spatial data. Its clear structure and sound methodology make it a valuable reference for anyone looking to explore spatial econometric techniques.
