This paper considers estimation and inference in panel vector autoregressions (PVARs) with fixed effects when the time dimension of the panel is finite, and the cross-sectional dimension is large. A Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimator based on a transformed likelihood function is proposed and...

Many macroeconomic and financial variables show highly persistent and correlated patterns but not necessarily cointegrated. Recently, Sun, Hsiao and Li (2010) propose using a semiparametric varying coefficient approach to capture correlations between integrated but non cointegrated variables....

We consider a lag-augmented two- or three-stage least squares estimator for a structural dynamic model of nonstationary and possibly cointegrated variables without the prior knowledge of unit roots or rank of cointegration. We show that the conventional two- and three-stage least squares...
