Higher-order Expansions and Inference for Panel Data Models
In this paper, we propose a simple inferential method for a wide class of panel data models with a focus on such cases that have both serial correlation and cross-sectional dependence. In order to establish an asymptotic theory to support the inferential method, we develop some new and useful higher-order expansions, such as Berry-Esseen bound and Edgeworth Expansion, under a set of simple and general conditions. We further demonstrate the usefulness of these theoretical results by explicitly investigating a panel data model with interactive effects which nests many traditional panel data models as special cases. Finally, we show the superiority of our approach over several natural competitors using extensive numerical studies.

Efficient Bias Correction for Cross-section and Panel Data
Bias correction can often improve the finite sample performance of estimators. We show that the choice of bias correction method has no effect on the higher-order variance of semiparametrically efficient parametric estim…
Panel Data Estimation and Inference: Homogeneity versus Heterogeneity
In this paper, we define an underlying data generating process that allows for different magnitudes of cross-sectional dependence, along with time series autocorrelation. This is achieved via high-dimensional moving aver…
