Empirical data used in the application of the paper "Genuinely Unbalanced Spatial Panel Data Models with Fixed Effects: M-Estimation and Inference with an Application to FDI"

This repository contains the data used in the empirical analysis of spatial spillover effects on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows across Chinese administrative divisions. The analysis employs two different model specifications: a balanced panel model and a generalized unbalanced (GU) model. Additionally, a spatial weight matrix file is provided, which is essential for modeling spatial dependencies.
