September 2023: The new xtivdfreg version 1.3.1 in Stata (available here or here) comes with a significant extension. It now allows fitting spatial panel data models with spatial lags of the dependent and independent variables. For this purpose, the package contains the new spxtivdfreg command, which parses the additional spatial features, but otherwise is a wrapper for xtivdfreg.
