【摘要】In this paper, we generalize the concept of functional dependence from time series (Wu, 2005) and stationary random fields (El Machkouri, Volný and Wu, 2013) to nonstationary spatial processes. Within conventional settings in spatial econometrics, we define the concept of spatial functional dependence measure and establish a moment inequality, an exponential inequality, a Nagaev-type inequality, a law of large numbers, and a central limit theorem. We show that the dependent variables generated by some common spatial econometric models, including spatial autoregressive models, threshold spatial autoregressive models and spatial panel data models, are functionally dependent under regular conditions. Furthermore, we investigate the properties of functional dependence measures under various transformations, which are useful in applications. Moreover, we compare spatial functional dependence with the spatial mixing and spatial near-epoch dependence proposed in Jenish and Prucha (2009, 2012), and we illustrate its advantages.
