In this paper we consider inference procedures for two types of dynamic linear panel data models with fixed effects. First, we show that the closure of the stationary ARMA panel model with fixed effects can be consistently estimated by the First Difference Maximum Likelihood Estimator and we...

This paper considers estimation of panel data models with fixed effects. First, we will show that a consistent "unrestricted fixed effects" estimator does not exist for autoregressive panel data models with initial conditions. We will derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the...

This paper considers inference procedures for two types of dynamic linear panel data models with fixed effects (FE). First, it shows that the closures of stationary ARMAFE models can be consistently estimated by Conditional Maximum Likelihood Estimators and it derives their asymptotic...

This paper considers GMM based estimation and testing procedures for two versions of the AR(1) model with Fixed Effects, henceforth abbreviated as ARFE(1): the conditional ARFE(1) model, and the inclusive ARFE(1) model, which contains the stationary ARFE(1) models and the ARFE(1) model with a...

In this paper we introduce fixed-T unit root tests for panel data models with serially correlated and heteroscedastic disturbance terms. The tests are based on pooled least squares estimators for the autoregressive coefficient of the AR(1) panel model adjusted for their inconsistency. The...

In this paper we consider two kinds of generalizations of Lancaster's (Review of Economic Studies, 2002) Modified ML estimator (MMLE) for the panel AR(1) model with fixed effects and arbitrary initial conditions and possibly covariates when the time dimension, T, is fixed. When the...

In this paper we show that the Quasi ML estimation method yields consistent Random and Fixed Effects estimators for the autoregression parameter ρ in the panel AR(1) model with arbitrary initial conditions even when the errors are drawn from heterogenous distributions. We compare both...
