This paper is concerned with developing a nonparametric time-varying coefficient model with fixed effects to characterize nonstationarity and trending phenomenon in nonlinear panel data analysis. We develop two methods to estimate the trend function and the coefficient function without taking...

We propose a local linear functional coefficient estimator that admits a mix of discrete and contin- uous data for stationary time series. Under weak conditions our estimator is asymptotically normally distributed. A small set of simulation studies is carried out to illustrate the ï¬nite...

We propose a simple, flexible approach to nonparametric estimation and specification testing for a two-factor interest rate model. These methods are illustrated with a Monte Carlo experiment and an empirical example.

Modeling and detecting parameter stability of econometric models is a long standing problem. Most existing estimation and testing methods are designed for models without endogeneity. Little attention has been paid to models with endogeneous regressors, which may arise in many scenarios in...

Two linear estimators for stationary invertible vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) models in echelon form — to achieve parameter unicity (identification) — with known Kronecker indices are studied. It is shown that both estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal with...
