I'm trying to estimate spatial standard errors for a panel data set
(county-by-year) using spmat/spreg. When I try to create the spatial
weights matrix using one observation per county (since the distances
between them don't change over time) and then run the regression,
spreg complains that the id variable (county-by-year) does not match
the id variable in the matrix (county). However, if I try to create
spatial weights using the county-year observations, I run into matrix
size constraints - the max is 11,000 and I have over 30,000
observations.

Does anyone know of a workaround to this? Ideally, I would define the
weights based on county-level observations, then expand them onto
county-year observations.

Best,
Tatyana
