The use of spatial econometric techniques is increasingly common in empirical work in the social sciences, including urban and regional economics, criminology, demography and electoral analyses. While the focus will be on spatial aspects, the types of methods covered have general validity in applied statistical work. An important aspect of the course is the application of the spatial regression techniques in empirical practice, using the SpaceStat software package or general purpose statistical toolboxes. The course will meet eight hours a day, August 6-10. The first 20 applications with payment received by the Summer Program office will be accepted.
Application is considered incomplete unless accompanied by fee payment.
The Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science is offering funding to participate in this workshop for limited number of participants.
