This paper investigates identification and estimation of a class of nonlinear panel data, single-index models. The model allows for unknown time-specific link functions, and semiparametric specification of the individual-specific effects. We develop an estimator for the parameters of interest,...

This paper investigates identification and root-n-consistent estimation of a class of single-index panel data models in which the link function is unknown, the unobserved individual effects may be correlated with all the explanatory variables, and all the explanatory variables may be...

This paper extends the cross-sectionally augmented panel unit root test (CIPS) proposed by Pesaran (2007) to the case of a multifactor error structure, and proposes a new panel unit root test based on a simple average of cross-sectionally augmented Sargan–Bhargava statistics (CSB). The basic...
