<title>Abstract</title> This paper investigates the quasi-maximum likelihood estimation of spatial dynamic panel data models where spatial weights matrices can be time varying. We find that QML estimate is consistent and asymptotically normal. We investigate marginal impacts of explanatory variables in this...

This paper considers a quasi-maximum likelihood estimation for a linear panel data model with time and individual fixed effects, where the disturbances have dynamic and spatial correlations which might be spatially stable or unstable. We first consider both separable and nonseparable...

In this paper we derive the asymptotic properties of GMM estimators for the spatial dynamic panel data model with fixed effects when n is large, and T can be large, but small relative to n. The GMM estimation methods are designed with the fixed individual and time effects eliminated from the...

A spatial dynamic panel data approach is adopted to study regional growth convergence in the US economy. In the neoclassical growth model, regions and countries are assumed to be independent from each other, which may not be valid in the real world. We introduce technological spillovers into the...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper studies the spatial autoregressive (SAR) model for cross-sectional data when the coefficient of the spatial lag of the dependent variable is near unity. We decompose the data generating process into an unstable component and a stable one, and establish asymptotic properties...

Yu et al. (2008) establish asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for a stable spatial dynamic panel model with fixed effects when both the number of individuals n and the number of time periods T are large. This paper investigates unstable cases where there are unit roots...

This paper proposes the C(α)-type test in the GMM framework to test the possible presence of spatial correlation through the spatial lag in the spatial autoregressive (SAR) model. This test statistics is especially useful for the SAR model with disturbances under unknown heteroskedasticity. We...

This paper examines the asymptotics of the QMLE for unit root dynamic panel data models with spatial effect and fixed effects. We consider a unit root dynamic panel data model with spatially correlated disturbances and a unit root spatial dynamic panel data model. For both models the estimate of...

This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for SAR panel data models with fixed effects and SAR disturbances. A direct approach is to estimate all the parameters including the fixed effects. Because of the incidental parameter problem, some parameter...

This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for spatial dynamic panel data with both time and individual fixed effects when the number of individuals <italic>n</italic> and the number of time periods <italic>T</italic> can be large. We propose a data transformation approach to eliminate...
