This paper contributes to the understanding of the source of identification in panel data models. Recent research has established that few time periods suffice to identify interesting structural effects in nonseparable panel data models even in the presence of complex correlated unobservables,...

This paper presents identification and estimation results for a flexible state space model. Our modification of the canonical model allows the permanent component to follow a unit root process and the transitory component to follow a semiparametric model of a higher‐order...
