In the very first issue the second article by Walter Fisher (Fisher 1971) dealt with Econometric Estimation with Spatial Depen- dence. It constitutes one of the first papers in the applied economic literature addressing the topic of spatial autocorrelation and its implication for estima- tion in linear regression models. In the following years articles covering spatial econometric topics remained a frequent appearance in the journal with a sig- nificant increase after 2000. This largely parallels the dissemination of the field in other economics journals (Anselin et al. 2004). Curiously this contrasts with a marked absence of the much broader and interdisciplinary subject of spatial data analysis and related applications of geographic information systems. Ap- parently Wallsten (2001) is the only paper in 35 years of RSUE that mentions geographic information systems in its title. In this brief note I formulate some remarks on spatial econometrics and how it relates to RSUE. It may be useful to provide some context and to start by considering the past. Therefore I will first briefly comment on the evolution of spatial econometrics and how it relates to publications in the first 35 volumes of Some of the main ideas on the evolution of spatial econometrics as a field contained in this paper were earlier expressed in the Inaugural Arthur Getis Lecture in Spatial Analysis San Diego State University Oct. 2005 and in an address on Spatial Econometrics: Past Present and Future part of a special session honoring Keith Ord at the 102nd Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geog ...
