We review developments in conducting inference for model parameters in the presence of intertemporal and cross‐sectional dependence with an emphasis on panel data applications. We review the use of heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) standard error estimators, which include...

We review developments in conducting inference for model parameters in the presence of intertemporal and spatial dependence with an emphasis on panel data applications. We review the use of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) standard error estimators, which include the...

Many studies of historical persistence find that modern outcomes strongly reflect characteristics of the same places in the distant past. However they rely on data that often exhibit extreme spatial trends and autocorrelation, suggesting that their unusually large t-statistics may be due to...

This paper presents an inference approach for dependent data in time series, spatial, and panel data applications. The method involves constructing and Wald statistics using a cluster covariance matrix estimator (CCE). We use an approximation that takes the number of clusters/groups as fixed and...
