Question 7 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the difference between a spatial lag model and a spatial error model?

  1. In a spatial lag model, the dependent variable is a function of the lagged values of the independent variables, while in a spatial error model, the error term is a function of the lagged values of the independent variables.
