Lung-fei Lee and Jihai Yu, "Identification of Spatial Durbin Panel Models," Journal of Applied Econometrics, Vol. 31, No. 1, 2016, pp. 133-162. The data files contain three variables and four spatial weights matrices. Y is the log value of GDP per unit of labor based on purchasing power parity and is computed in constant 2005 international dollars. It has 26 countries and 8 time periods, where we stack the data by countries first, then by time. X has two columns. The first column is log value of (N+0.05), where N is the annual working-age population growth rate. The second column is log value of investment share (%) of PPP-converted GDP per capita at constant 2005 international dollar. X has 26 countries and 7 time periods W_geo is the spatial weights matrix based on geographic information. W_Import is the spatial weights matrix based on bilateral imports. W_Export is the spatial weights matrix based on bilateral exports. W_ExIm is the spatial weights matrix based on sum of bilateral exports and imports. Elements of each spatial weights matrix are obtained by exp{d} where d is the geographical (munus distances between country capitals) or relevant trade volume. All data files are comma-separated ASCII files in DOS format. They are zipped in the file ly-data.zip. The actual filenames are: w_exim.csv w_export.csv w_geo.csv w_import.csv x.csv y.csv Unix/Linux users should use "unzip -a".
