Research in spatial econometrics has undergone a very intense increase in recent decades, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The indicators usually employed, such as published articles, handbooks and volumes edited and conferences and workshops organized, offer a robust image of this fast development. Another, and perhaps more important, aspect is the definite consolidation of this discipline as a fundamental tool for research in Economics. In this overall context, clearly optimistic, the problems associated with the specification of spatio-temporal models have attracted attention (Baltagi 2001). The scientific programs of recent international meetings, in regional economics and in spatial econometrics, with a growing increase in the number of sessions devoted to this topic is a good example for a tendency that, in our opinion, will continue in the near future. We need more techniques and more sophisticated tools to deal adequately with the larger and richer datasets that are currently available. Our contribution to this discussion is modest but enthusiastic. We would like to mention the series of Jean Paelinck Seminars that began in October 2004, with the objective of honoring the mastery of Jean Paelinck in the fields of regional economics and spatial econometrics [let us mention the very well-known textbook by Paelinck and Klaassen (1979)]. The first and second seminars were held at the University of Zaragoza and the third one at the Technical University of Cartagena, between the 10th and the 12th of October, 2008. Twenty-five papers were presented there, some of which appear in the special issue of Journal of Geographical Systems briefly introduced here.
