Thank you very much, Nick and Kit, for your replies. I really appreciate
your help.

As for the theory on spatial models and panel data, Anselin in his book
"Spatial Econometrics: methods and models" (1988), for example, suggests the
spatial Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) model that consists of an
equation for each time period which is estimated for a cross-section of
spatial units (coefficients vary for each time period but are constant
across space). But I guess there aren't any tools in Stata yet to estimate
such models.

Thanks again!

Kate

David Drukker points out that I overlooked
-natrix eigenvalues- as another way to do it.

Somehow or other that command remained
latent 
in my memory and I was unable to
root 
it out. That's, I find,  
characteristic 
of some commands, regardless of their inherent 
value.
