to all the 7th EU Framework Program SustainCity Project people.    To my international family: the Erasmus Mundus Program people who not only substituted my family but rather also  perfectly complemented it, and in particular, to Alice for sending me nicely strong Karma coffee from the Laos mountains and lemongrass tea from Thailand to wind down from the coffee effect, to Esfandiar, to Yan, to my Kabutar Mina for millions "miss you", "miss you" words!, to my fantastic xxx awe-inspiring  friend Tara, and my Chinese little sister Guodi. To my second international family for sharing the floor in the American Fondation:  to my favorite dancing Rida for her never-failing optimism, to my American Polish brother Mark Zaborowski, to multitalented Baidy, and to Tierra for her writing talent who helped me struggle through my very first scientific paper.  To my Ana, Anja,  the real fighter and the Taekwondo Master for <3 "<3s"  and accepting me as I am; To Gordon Bowker, Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl for founding Starbucks, so that we could worked work  there with Ana; Anja;  to Meno, to Vadim, to godfather Marouene, to Adams, the tektonic specialist and the best uncle, to Hamza, to Heric for xxx, Heric, and finally  to the most talented and probably the youngest Senior Researcher from the Statistics Finland. Hi Henri. To people from Ifsttar and the Laboratory DEST: 

to the most original and the best coiffée X from the Ifsttar cafeteria for providing the strong enough coffee.  To Prof. Michel Bierlaire who let me join his fantastic team at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne for a couple of months during my thesis and who gave me the chance to answer correctly maybe two out of his hundreds super challenging questions and to all the members of his team: always in trouble Yousef, Shadi, Marija, the genius Iliya, eating porridge at 4 P.M. Flurin, Antonin, running fast Tomas, Evantia, Ana, and x. Stefan.  To my heroes:  to Prof. Anselin who I never met in my life but who is  responsible for my love to spatial analysis and whose work in many ways motivated this project; to my idol, Prof. LeSage who I had a tremendous honor to meet and talk to about my research, whose comments helped clarify my own thinking, and who almost persuaded me that Bayesian analysis is the remedy to all the spatial econometrics problems;  to Prof. Krzysztof Malaga, a definition of hard work and a great example to the students.
