Summary This paper considers panel data models where the idiosyncratic errors are subject to conditonal quantile restrictions. We propose a two-step estimator based on smoothed quantile regressions that is easy to implement. The asymptotic distribution of the estimator is established, and the analytical expression of its asymptotic bias is derived. Building on these results, we show how to make asymptotically valid inference on the basis of both analytical and split-panel jackknife bias corrections. Finite-sample simulations are used to support our theoretical analysis and to illustrate the importance of bias correction in quantile regressions for panel data. Finally, in an empirical application, the proposed method is used to study the growth effects of foreign direct investment.

This paper proposes a residual-based Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test for slope homogeneity in large-dimensional panel data models with interactive fixed effects. We first run the panel regression under the null to obtain the restricted residuals and then use them to construct our LM test statistic. We show that after being appropriately centered and scaled, our test statistic is asymptotically normally distributed under the null and a sequence of Pitman local alternatives. The asymptotic distributional theories are established under fairly general conditions that allow for both lagged dependent variables and conditional heteroskedasticity of unknown form by relying on the concept of conditional strong mixing. To improve the finite-sample performance of the test, we also propose a bootstrap procedure to obtain the bootstrap p-values and justify its validity. Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the test has correct size and satisfactory power. We apply our test to study the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development economic growth model.

Summary Early studies of the generalized transformation panel data model resorted to the identical marginal distribution of the error term over time. This stationarity condition is restrictive for many applications, especially as the number of time periods increases. This paper considers nonstationary censored generalized transformation panel data models where the idiosyncratic error has an unknown nonseparable form and admits a flexible relationship between the observable and the unobservable. We propose an estimation method, and establish the consistency and asymptotic normality for the proposed estimator. Simulation results illustrate the good performance of our estimator in a finite sample. We apply the proposed method to bilateral trade issues of the U.S.A. and foreign countries.

Dynamic Panel Data Models

This paper suggests a generalized method of moments (GMM) based estimation for dynamic panel data models with individual specific fixed effects and threshold effects simultaneously. We extend Hansen’s (Hansen, 1999) original setup to models including endogenous regressors, specifically, lagged dependent variables. To address the problem of endogeneity of these nonlinear dynamic panel data models, we prove that the orthogonality conditions proposed by Arellano and Bond (1991) are valid. The threshold and slope parameters are estimated by GMM, and asymptotic distribution of the slope parameters is derived. Finite sample performance of the estimation is investigated through Monte Carlo simulations. It shows that the threshold and slope parameter can be estimated accurately and also the finite sample distribution of slope parameters is well approximated by the asymptotic distribution.
