This article provides a selective review on the recent developments of some nonlinear nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models. In particular, we focus on two types of modelling frameworks: nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models with deterministic trends, and semiparametric...

A semiparametric fixed effects model is introduced to describe the nonlinear trending phenomenon in panel data analysis and it allows for the cross-sectional dependence in both the regressors and the residuals. A pooled semiparametric profile likelihood dummy variable approach based on the...
