Abstract

In this paper we propose an extension of the semiparametric P-Spline model to spatio-temporal data including a non-parametric trend, as well as a spatial lag of the dependent variable. This model is able to simultaneously control for func- tional form bias, spatial dependence bias, spatial heterogeneity bias, and omitted time-related factors bias. Specically, we consider a spatio-temporal ANOVA model disaggregating the trend in spatial and temporal main eects, and second and third order interactions between them. The model can include both linear and non-linear effects of the covariates, and other additional xed or random eects. Recent algorithms based on spatial anisotropic penalties (SAP) are used to estimate all the parameters in a closed form without the need of multidimensional optimization. An empirical case compares the performance of this model against alternatives models like spatial panel data models.
