The Composite Marginal Likelihood (CML) Inference Approach with Applications to Discrete and Mixed Dependent Variable Models (2014, background): “Beck et al. (2006) also find theoretical and conceptual issues with the spatial error model and refer to it as being “odd”, because the formulation rests on the “hard to defend” position that “space matters in the error process but not in the substantive portion of the model”.”
Interdependence in Comparative Politics (2008, background): “In later statistical analyses, the stochastic component, εit, might be allowed to exhibit spatial correlation, but this correlation would be treated as nuisance either to be corrected by Parks’s (1967) Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) procedure or, post–Beck and Katz (1995, 1996), to requir”

Cluster–Robust Variance Estimation for Dyadic Data (2013, unknown): “…the use of parametric restrictions in mixed-effects models (Gelman and Hill, 2007; Hoff, 2005; Kenny, Kashy and Cook, 2006), the spatial error-lag model (Beck, Gleditsch and Beardsley, 2006), or permutation inference for testing against sharp null hypotheses (Erikson, Pinto and Rader, 2014).”
Fostering Environment Efficiency through Transnational Linkages? Trajectories of CO2 and SO2, 1980–2000 (2008, unknown): “(4) The lagged foreign emissions efficiency is used because estimating a model using its contemporaneous value renders model estimation extremely difficult, given that countries would affect and be affected by other countries' emissions efficiency simultaneously (Beck et al, 2006).”
Emergency and Escape: Explaining Derogations from Human Rights Treaties (2011, background): “…1976+ 100+ Recent work has demonstrated that the Heckman models are highly sensitive to the specification of the two equations+ Signorino 2003+ 101+ Beck, Gleditsch, and Beardsley 2006+ 102+ The spatial variables that we created were not statistically or substantively important in any of our…”
Model specification in the analysis of spatial dependence (2010, background): “In contrast, spatial econometricians typically treat row-standardization as something that is ‘commonly’ (Franzese and Hays 2006: 174; Franzese and Hays 2008: 29), ‘generally’ (Darmofal 2006: 8), ‘typically’ (Anselin 2002: 257) or ‘usually’ (Beck et al. 2006: 28) done.”
The Global Diffusion of Public Policies: Social Construction, Coercion, Competition or Learning? (2007, background): “…na l u se o nl y. ANRV316-SO33-21 ARI 24 May 2007 11:8 Gleditsch & Ward (2006) provide examples of both in their study of the diffusion of democracy in which they find that neighbors offer power resources that support (or hamper) transitions, from military support to social movement exemplars.”
Modeling Dynamics in Time-SeriesCross-Section Political Economy Data (2011, background): “These issues have been discussed in the context of TSCS data elsewhere (Beck et al. 2006, Franzese & Hayes 2007), and here we simply point out that our preferred approach to dynamics makes it easy for analysts to deal with this critical cross-sectional issue.”
