In this paper, we consider a class of time-varying panel data models with individual-specific regression coefficients and common factors where both the serial correlation and cross-sectional dependence among error terms can be present. Based on an initial estimator of factors, we propose a...

In this paper, we consider a model selection issue in semiparametric panel data models with fixed effects. The modelling framework under investigation can accommodate both nonlinear deterministic trends and cross-sectional dependence. And we consider the so-called "large panels" where both the...

A semiparametric fixed effects model is introduced to describe the nonlinear trending phenomenon in panel data analysis and it allows for the cross-sectional dependence in both the regressors and the residuals. A pooled semiparametric profile likelihood dummy variable approach based on the first...
