to the estimation of a labour demand model using company panel data.

This paper considers bootstrap methods for panel data models with fixed regressors. It is shown that simple resampling methods (i.i.d., individual only or temporal only) are not always valid in simple cases of interest, while a double resampling that combines resampling in both individual

These notes summarize some recent, and perhaps not-so-recent, advances in the estimation of nonlinear panel data models. Research in the last 10 to 15 years has branched off in two directions. In one, the focus has been on parameter estimation, possibly only up to a common scale factor

These notes cover some recent topics in linear panel data models. They begin with a “modern ” treatment of the basic linear model, and then consider some embellishments, such as random slopes and time-varying factor loads. In addition, fully robust tests for correlated random effects, lack

This article provides a survey of the specification and estimation of spatial panel data models. These models include spatial error autocorrelation, or the specification is extended with a spa-tially lagged dependent variable. In particular, the author focuses on the specification and esti

In this paper we consider a panel data model with error components that are both spatially and time-wise correlated. The model blends specifications typically considered in the spatial literature with those considered in the error components literature. We introduce generalizations
