Spatial Econometric Models of Interdependence Theory & Substance; Empirical Specification, Estimation, Evaluation; Substantive Interpretation & Presentation Talk prepared for Blalock Lecture on 7 August 2008 at the ICPSR Summer School based on the joint work of Robert J. Franzese, Jr., The University of Michigan Jude C. Hays, The University of Illinois Overview • Motivation: Integration & Domestic Policy-Autonomy – Does economic integration constrain govts from redistributing income, risk, & opportunity through tax & spending policies? – In answering this & related questions, scholars have overlooked spatial interdependence of domestic policies as important evidence. – Economic integration generates externalities across political jurisdictions, which implies strategic policy interdependence, so policy of one govt will be influenced by policies of its neighbors. • Interdependence Substance, Theory, & Empirics: Use contexts econ integration (& related) to explore & explain: – Substance: i’s actions depend on j’s. Examples. – Theory: • General: externalitiesstrategic policy complements/substitutesrace-tobottom/top/elseearly/late-mover advantagesstrategic delay/rush-for-1st • Specific: a model of inter-jurisdictional tax-competition (P&T ch. 12) – Empirics: “Galton’s Problem”; Estimation, Inference, Interpretation, & Presentation A Motivating Context: Globalization & Domestic-Policy Autonomy • Standard Argument: – ↑ capital mobility & trade integration sharpen capital’s threat vs. domestic govts to flee excessive/inefficient tax & public policy; forces welfare-state retrench & tax shift from more-mob. cap. (esp. finance) to less-mob. lab. (esp. skilled-man.) • Recent counter-arguments & findings: – Some empirical Q whether constrained or ° constraint from trade/capital integ. – Counter-arguments (e.g.): • Rodrik (Cameron): Demand (contra supply) SocPol may ↑ w/ integ indeterminate • Garrett ’98/Boix ’98: Left/active govt more/as efficient capital not flee • Hall-Soskice ‘01/Franzese-Mosher ’02: comparative institutional advantage tradeinteg foster divergence; (liquid) cap-integ may foster race to bottom (not nec’ly) zero • Swank ’02 (& many others): political & economic barriers &/or advantages considerable maneuvering room • Standard & all counter arguments spatial interdependence b/c whatever pressures may arise from globalization depend on what neighbors, competitors, partners, substitutes, & complements do – Accordingly, appropriate model places others’ policies on right-hand side – Basinger-Hallerberg ’04 maybe 1st in C&IPE to notice & incorporate explicitly • Interdependence (def): yi=f(yj≠i); note: not merely that yi & yj≠i corr The Broad Range of Spatial Interdependence • Theoretical Contexts (ubiquitous): – – – – – ANY Strategic Decision-making: sisj Externalities & Spillovers Learning/Emulation, Demonstration Networks/Epistemic Communities Literal Diffusion, Contagion, Migration • Substantive Contexts (ubiquitous): – – – – – – Security Policy (e.g., alliances, wars) Environmental (e.g., air-pollution reg) Regulatory (e.g., telecomm stds) Legis reps’ votes depend on others’ Elects., cand. qualities or strategies p(∙)&outs coups (Li&Thompson 75), riots (Govea&West 81), revolts (Brinks&Copp 06) – Contextual effects in micro-behavior: • Braybeck&Huckfeldt 02ab, Cho 03, Huckfeldt et al. 05, Cho&Gimpel 07, Cho&Rudolph 07, Lin et al 06 • (Simmons et al.’s 06) Mechanisms: – – – – – Competition Coercion Learning Emulation [Migration/Contagion (F&H Add)] – Policy, instit’s, regimes diffusion: • Policy: Schneider&Ingram‘88, Rose ‘93, Meseguer ‘04,‘05, Gilardi ‘05 • Institutional or regime: Implicit/Informal: Dahl’s Polyarchy, Starr’s Democratic Dominoes, Huntington’s 3rd Wave. Explicit/Formal: O’Loughlin et al. ‘98, Brinks & Coppedge ‘06, Gleditsch & Ward ‘06, ’07 – Int’l diffusion of liberalization: • Simmons&Elkins 04, 06a, 06b, Eising 02, Brune et al. 04, Brooks 05… – Globalization & interdependence: • Genschel 02, Basinger&Hallerberg 04, Knill 05, Jahn 06, Swank 06, F&H 06,07, Kayser 07 • Tobler’s Law: ‘‘I invoke the first law of geography: everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things’’ (1970). – Plus: “Space More Than Geography” (Beck, Gleditsch, & Beardsley 2006) Substantive & Theoretical Ubiquity & Centrality (1) •US State Policy-innovation diffusion: deep roots & much contemporary interest, & sustained attention between: – Crain 1966; Walker 1969, 1973; Gray 1973; Knoke 1982; Caldiera 1985; Lutz 1987; Berry & Berry 1990; Case et al. 1993; Berry 1994; Rogers 1995; Mintrom 1997ab; Brueckner 1998; Mintrom & Vergari 1998; Mossberger 1999; Berry & Berry 1999; Godwin & Schroedel 2000; Balla 2001; Mooney 2001; Wejnert 2002; Coughlin et al. 2003; Bailey & Rom 2004; Boehmke & Witmer 2004; Daley & Garand 2004; Grossback et al. 2004; Mencken 2004; Berry & Baybeck 2005; Garrett et al. 2005; Costa-Font & Ons-Novell 2006; Karch 2006; Rincke 2006; Shipan & Volden 2006; Volden 2006; Werck et al. 2006; Woods 2006; Volden et al. 2007. •Similar policy-learning mechanisms underlie some comparative studies of policy diffusion: – Schneider & Ingram 1988; Rose 1993; Bennett 1997; Dolowitz & Marsh 2000; True & Mintrom 2001; Tews et al. 2003; Jensen 2004; Meseguer 2004, 2005; Brooks 2005, 2007; Gilardi 2005; Gilardi et al. 2005; Murillo & Schrank 2005; Weyland 2005; Braun & Gilardi 2006; Linos 2006; Parys 2006; Ermini & Santolini 2007; Moscone et al. 2007. •Institutional or regime diffusion likewise long-standing & recently much reinvigorated: – Dahl’s 1971 Polyarchy (1 of 8 causes dem listed); center-stage Starr’s 1991 “Democratic Dominoes”; Huntington’s 1991 Third Wave; Beissinger 2007; Bunce & Wolchik 2006, 2007; et al. in E.

The model in the first column is estimated using standard ML techniques. The parentheses in this column contain estimated standard errors and the hypothesis tests assume that the asymptotic t-statistics are normally distributed. The models in columns two through four are estimated using MCMC methods with diffuse zero-mean priors. The reported coefficient estimate is the mean of the posterior density based on 10,000 observations after a 1000 observation burn-in period. The number in parentheses is the standard deviation of the posterior density. The p-values are also calculated using the posterior density. The last two models are estimated with true spatial estimators described in the text. In third column, 30 of the 10,000 spatial AR coefficients sampled from the posterior distribution were negative. In the fourth column, none of the 10,000 sampled spatial AR coefficients were negative. ***p-value <.01, **p-value<.05, *p-value <.10.

Interpret them. • How specify & estimate models? – If space-lag is time-lagged, not problem; but if thry & substance says immediate (w/in an observational period), can handle that too: – S-OLS not a bad strategy even then, if ρ not too big & smpl-dims right; S-ML, & in some regards IV-based strategies, seem effective • Spatio-Temporal Effects not directly read from coefficients: use graphs & maps & grids • Information-demands of Galton’s Problem severe – Standard errors of effects tend big. Suspect delta-method linapprox. maybe part problem; plan explore performance bootstrap. – Max effort & care theory, measure, specification, to both C&IPE Spatial QualDep: The Econometric Problem (1) • Spatial Qualitative/Categorical/Lmtd-Dep-Var Models in the Lit: – Spatial probit: McMillen 1992,1995; Bolduc et. al. 1997; Pinkse & Slade 1998; LeSage 1999, 2000; Beron et al. 2003; Beron & Vijverberg 2004 • Spatial logit: Dubin 1997; Lin 2003; Autant-Bernard 2006 • Spatial sample-selection (i.e., s-Tobit/Heckit): McMillen 1995, Smith & LeSage 2004, Flores-Lagunes & Schnier 2006 • Spatial multinomial-probit: McMillen 1995, Bolduc et al. 1997 • Spatial discrete-duration: Phaneuf & Palmquist 2003 • Survival w/ spatial frailty: Banerjee et al. 2004, Darmofal 2007 • Spatial count: Bhati 2005, including ZIP: Rathbun & Fei 2006 • The Challenge: yi* wij y*j Xβ i ; p yi 1 yi* j i – Not n indep., unidimensional CDF std normals, so (log-)likelihood=product (sum) thereof, but 1 n-dimensional CDF of non-std (heterosked.) normals • Spatial Latent-Variable Models: Estimation Strategies – – McMillen 1992: EM algorithm, rendered spatial probit estimable, but no std-errs & arb. parameterization of induced heteroscedasticity.

The Econometric Problem (2) • Structural Model: y* Wy * Xβ ε • Reduced Form: y* (I W)1 Xβ u where u (I W)1 ε • Measurement Equation: yi 1 if yi * 0 • 0 if yi * 0 1 1 p ( y 1| X ) p ( I W ) Xβ ( I W ) ε 0 Probability: i i i – Or: p( yi 1| xi ) p ui (I W)1 Xβ i i where u~MVN 0,[(I W)(I W)]1 • For Spatial-Error-Probit: y* Xβ u; with u (I W) 1 ε, so u~MVN 0,[(I W)(I W)]1 p( yi 1| xi ) p ui xi β i The Econometric Problem (3) • Comments: – Notice that, when we come to interpret p̂ & same MVN integration D p̂ DX , we face the • We haven’t seen such substantive interpretation yet attempted fully in the literature, but we suggest an easier way to do it. – If can order dependence pattern & ensure only antecedent y* appear on RHS, then std probit ML w/ a spatial-lag works • We think usu. indefensible subst’ly/thry’ly, but cf. Swank on capitaltax competition, e.g., where argues US exclusively leads & omits US. – Having y, not y*, on RHS may seem subst’ly or thry’ly desirable in some cases, but gen’ly not logically possible: • Problem would be that outcome, yi, would indirectly (via spatial feedback) determine yi*, but then yi* would directly determine yi. The stochastic difference b/w them will thus a logical inconsistency. – Notice similar MVN issue w/ time lags; suggests similar strategies (but simpler b/c ordered) may allow model temp dynamics directly rather than nuisance (e.g., BKT splines) The Estimators: Bayesian Gibbs-MH Sampler (1) • Basic Idea (See Gill’s intro Bayesian textbook, e.g.): – Monte Carlo (MC): Given likelihood/posterior, can sample to estimate any quantity of interest, including density, e.g. – Markov Chain (MC)MC: • Each draw depends on previous, so need only conditional like./post. • Some theorems indicate, under fairly gen’l conditions, distribution parameter draws converges to distribution under true like./post. – Gibbs Sampler: simplest of MCMC family: • Express each parameter like./post. conditional on others. • Cycle to draw each conditional on others’ starts or previous draw • After some sufficient “burn-in”, all subsequent param-vector draws follow true multivariate likelihood/posterior. – Metropolis-Hastings: useful when cond’l param-dist non-std • Draws from a seed or jump distribution are accepted or rejected as the next sampled parameters, depending on how they compare to a suitably transformed expression of the target distribution The Estimators: Bayesian Gibbs-MH Sampler (2) • Bayesian Gibbs-MH (MCMC) Sampler for Spatial Probit: 1 – Likelihood: L y* , W | , β, 2 In W e 1 2 2 εε , with 2 ε I n W y * Xβ in s-lag; ε I n W y * Xβ in s-err 2( n /2) – Diffuse Priors => Joint Posterior: p , β, | y , W I n W * – Conditional Priors: • • p | , β 1 ( n 1) 2 2 ε ε e 1 ( n 1) 2 2 ε ε e , so 2 ~ n2 , which is std, so Gibbs p β | , ~ N β, 2 ( XCCX) 1 with C I n and β ( XX)-1 X I n W y* for s-lag, and, for s-err: C I n W & β ( X(I n W)(I n W) X) 1 X(I n W)(I n W)y * 1 ( n 1) 2 2 ε ε – p | β, I n W e , w/ ε for s-lag & s-err as before.

Could only estimate them off implications for behavior. • Temporal precedence often not suffice assure causal precedence – Strategic interdep often operates literally simultaneously or even E(future) – In estimation, simultaneous generally means within an observational period & many contexts high frequency behavior relative to obs periodicity. – Time lagging suffices only if & insofar as spatiotemporal dynamics fully & properly specified in model (&1st non-stoch, & not w/in period “simult”). – Condition on 1st obs needs T large for efficiency & for small-sample bias.

[XXXX: These are for c-dums, no t-dums model] 2001 Conclusion • Spatial & Spatiotemporal Interdependence – Important & Appreciable Substance (e.g., globalization & int’l cap-tax compete seems quite real & does constrain), not Nuisance. • Therefore: Model them. Interpret them. • How specify & estimate models? – If space-lag is time-lagged, maybe not problem; but if thry & substance says immediate (w/in an observational period), can/should handle that too: – S-OLS not a bad strategy even then, if ρ not too big & smpl-dims right; S-ML, &, in some regards, IV-based strategies seem effective • Spatiotemporal Effects not directly read from coefficients: use graphs & response-plots & maps & grids • Info-demands Galton’s Problem big, + Coevolution REALLY big – Standard errors of effects tend big. Suspect delta-method lin-approx. maybe part problem; plan explore performance sim/boot/jack. – Max effort & care theory, measure, specification, to both C&IPE
