This paper considers estimation and inference in panel vector autoregressions (PVARs) with fixed effects when the time dimension of the panel is finite, and the cross-sectional dimension is large. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator based on a transformed likelihood function is proposed and...

Recent research convincingly shows that crises beget reform. Although the consensus is that economic crises foster macroeconomic stabilization, it is silent on which types of crises cause which types of reform. Is it economic or political crises that are the most important drivers of structural...

This paper provides a review of linear panel data models with slope heterogeneity, introduces various types of random coefficients models and suggest a common framework for dealing with them. It considers the fundamental issues of statistical inference of a random coefficients formulation using...

The authors consider the quasi maximum likelihood (MLE) estimation of dynamic panel models with interactive effects based on the Ahn et al. (2001 , 2013 ) quasi-differencing methods to remove the interactive effects. The authors show that the quasi-difference MLE (QDMLE) over time is...

This study investigates an AR (autoregressive)-filtered version of several conventional diagnostic tests for cross-sectional dependence in large mixed panels, including the adjusted LM test, the CD test, and the Schott test. We show that the modified tests asymptotically follow the standard...

This paper considers methods of estimating a static correlated random coefficient model with panel data. We mainly focus on comparing two approaches of estimating unconditional mean of the coefficients for the correlated random coefficients models, the group mean estimator and the generalized...
