A Note on Small Sample Properties of Estimators in a First-Order Spatial Autoregressive Model

This note considers a Bayesian estimator and an ad hoc procedure for the parameters of a first-order spatial autoregressive model. The approaches are derived, and their small sample properties compared by means of a Monte Carlo simulation experiment.
