Spatial effects in regional tourism growth (2014, background): “The general spatial growth regression model proposed by LeSage and Fischer (2008) suggests that the long-term regional economic level is a function of the characteristics of the home region and neighboring ones, spatial connectivity with other regions, and”
Where is the Economics in Spatial Econometrics (2012, unknown): “Related approaches use Bayesian model averaging (LeSage and Parent, 2007; LeSage and Fischer, 2008).”
Spatial Spillovers in the Development of Institutions (2013, unknown): “" Two interesting studies along these lines are LeSage and Pace (2009) and LeSage and Fischer (2008). whose values vary over time; H is an n × k 2 matrix of observations on k 2 fundamentals whose values do not vary over time; W is an n × n weighting matrix, described below; u t is the n × 1…”
Cycle commuting in Belgium: Spatial determinants and ‘re-cycling’ strategies (2011, result): “Given that the validity of the results may be affected by the presence of feedback effects in the model (LeSage and Fisher, 2008; LeSage and Pace, 2009), we compared the parameter estimates in Table 4 with scalar summary impact measures and observed that feedback effects are quite weak.”
The determinants of regional specialisation in business services: agglomeration economies, vertical linkages and innovation (2015, methodology): “…variables, a change in a single explanatory variable in region i has a direct impact on region i as well as an indirect impact on other regions (see LeSage and Fischer, 2008 for 17 Elhorst (2003, 2009) presents a more general panel model including also fixed effects and a dynamic specification.”
Bayesian Model Averaging for Spatial Autoregressive Models Based on Convex Combinations of Different Types of Connectivity Matrices (2020, methodology): “We compare the LeSage and Fischer (2008) approach with the one developed here under two alternative DGPs.”
Comparing Implementations of Estimation Methods for Spatial Econometrics (2015, methodology): “…concluding, we compare the provision of functions for calculating emanating eﬀects (Kelejian, Tavlas, and Hondroyiannis 2006), also known as impacts (LeSage and Fischer 2008; LeSage and Pace 2009), simultaneous spatial reaction function/reduced form (Anselin and Lozano-Gracia 2008), equilibrium…”
Where Can Tourism-Led Growth and Economy-Driven Tourism Growth Occur? (2019, methodology): “Since the dependent variables were measured for a period covering multiple years, we used independent variables at the beginning of study period to reasonably alleviate the endogeneity problem in the econometric model (Lesage and Fischer 2008).”
The Vindication of Don Quixote: The Impact of Noise and Visual Pollution from Wind Turbines (2014, background): “LeSage and Fischer (2008) distinguish between average direct, indirect, and total impacts, depending on whether one looks solely at the estimated coefficient or accounts for neighboring observations.”
Institutions and geography: Empirical test of spatial growth models for European regions (2009, background): “Recently, much emphasis has been placed to models that incorporate substantive spatial dependence, meaning that spatial e¤ects propagate to neighboring regions by means of endogenous as well as exogenous variables (Fingleton and López-Bazo, 2007; LeSage and Fischer, 2008).”
Knowledge Spillovers and Total Factor Productivity: Evidence Using a Spatial Panel Data Model (2009, background): “7 Travel distance is an alternative measure (see, for example, Crescenzi, Rodríguez-Pose and Storper 2007, LeSage and Fischer 2007), that is especially attractive in contexts where knowledge diffusion primarily takes place with face-to-face interaction.”
