Description
Summary:This article deals with asymmetrical spatial data which can be modeled by a partially linear varying coefficient spatial autoregressive panel model (PLVCSARPM) with random effects. We constructed its profile quasi-maximum likelihood estimators (PQMLE). The consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators were proved under some regular conditions. Monte Carlo simulations implied our estimators have good finite sample performance. Finally, a set of asymmetric real data applications was analyzed for illustrating the performance of the provided method.
