Abstract: Spatial econometrics is a fast-growing field in the series of 
quantitative disciplines, auxiliaries of economics and related social 
sciences. Space, friction, interdependence, spatio-temporal components, 
externalities and many other aspects interact and should be treated 
adequately in this field. The publication of the Paelinck and Klaassen 
book in the late 1970s generated virtually the field spatial econometrics. 
This article studies the diffusion of spatial econometrics, through 
experienced history on the one hand, on the other through bibliometric 
methods. Although this field was an "Invisible College" up to 2006 
(absence of any organization in form of association, conference, journal, 
etc.), the databases depict a fast diffusion in the past and strong 
prospects for the future.
