Abstract
The master's thesis principally deals with estimation of a Spatial Auto Regressive (SAR) Model by Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations (INLA). Special attention is paid to the specification of the spatial weight matrix, which is a key component of the SAR model, and to how the estimates of parameters behave depending on the particular specification.
