Hello Everyone, I hope you are safe in your places.

I am using Cross -Sectional data from the World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI).

I wanted to see how Spatial variable(country) impacts on the Fertility rates across the different countries, for that First I need to get the SPATIAL WEIGHT MATRIX.

So, please help me with this issue.

Here, the Dependent variable is Fertility rates and a Total of 201 countries. (ALL VARIABLES ARE IN AVERAGES)

For better understanding, I am giving my DATA Example below.

Thank you.
