This paper considers panel data models with cross-sectional dependence arising from both spatial autocorrelation and unobserved common factors. It derives conditions for model identification and proposes estimation methods that employ cross-sectional averages as factor proxies, including the...

Neighborhood racial and class segregation continue to be major social problems within America’s metropolitan areas. Segregation has been linked to a whole host of racial and class inequalities, including access to jobs, schooling and single parenthood, and future earnings. One factor...

This paper considers the implications of the permanent/transitory decomposition of shocks for identification of structural models in the general case where the model might contain more than one permanent structural shock. It provides a simple and intuitive generalization of the influential work...

Se considera la estimacion y la inferencia de vectores autorregresivos en panel (VAP) con efectos fijos cuando la dimension temporal del panel es finita y la dimension de corte transversal es grande. Se propone un estimador de maxima verosimilitud (MV), basado en una funcion de verosimilitud...
