In this paper we consider the estimation of a dynamic panel autoregressive (AR) process of possibly innite order in the presence of individual effects. We utilize the sieve AR approximation with its lag order increasing with the sample size. We establish the consistency and asymptotic normality...

We propose a nonparametric test for Granger-type causality. A conceptually similar work will be Hidalgo (2000), who introduced a nonparametric Granger causality test in the frequency domain for weakly stationary linear processes. He is mainly concerned with the test under long range dependent...

This paper studies the asymptotic efficiency in factor models with serially correlated errors and dynamic panel data models with interactive effects. We derive the efficiency bound for the estimation of factors, factor loadings and common parameters that describe the dynamic structure. We use...

This paper proposes the analysis of panel data whose dynamic structure is heterogeneous across individuals. Our aim is to estimate the cross-sectional distributions and/or some distributional features of the heterogeneous mean and autocovariances. We do not assume any specific model for the...

This paper proposes a method of averaging generalized least squares (GLS) estimators for linear regression models with heteroskedastic errors. We derive two kinds of Mallows' Cp criteria, calculated from the estimates of the mean of the squared errors of the tted value based on the averaged GLS...
