Abstract
Spatial econometric theory and practice have been dominated by a focus on object data. In economic analysis these objects correspond to economic agents with discrete locations in geographic space, such as addresses, census tracts and regions. In contrast spatial interaction or flow data pertain to measurements each of which is associated with a link or pair of origin-destination locations that represent points or areas in space. While there is a voluminous literature on the specification and estimation of models for cross-sectional object data (see, Chapter C.1 in this volume), less attention has been paid to sample data consisting of origin-destination pairs that form the basic units of analysis in spatial interaction models.
