Estimation of Cross-Sectional Dependence in Large Panels
Accurate estimation for extent of cross{sectional dependence in large panel data analysis is paramount to further statistical analysis on the data under study. Grouping more data with weak relations (cross{sectional dependence) together often results in less efficient dimension reduction and worse forecasting. This paper describes cross-sectional dependence among a large number of objects (time series) via a factor model and parameterizes its extent in terms of strength of factor loadings. A new joint estimation method, benefiting from unique feature of dimension reduction for high dimensional time series, is proposed for the parameter representing the extent and some other parameters involved in the estimation procedure. Moreover, a joint asymptotic distribution for a pair of estimators is established. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimation method in the finite sample performance. Applications in cross-country macro-variables and stock returns from S&P 500 are studied.

Joint Estimation of Conditional Mean and Covariance for Unbalanced Panels
We develop a nonparametric, kernel-based joint estimator for conditional mean and covariance matrices in large and unbalanced panels. The estimator is supported by rigorous consistency results and finite-sample guarantee…
Equal Predictive Ability Tests Based on Panel Data with Applications to OECD and IMF Forecasts
We propose two types of equal predictive ability (EPA) tests with panels to compare the predictions made by two forecasters. The first type, namely $S$-statistics, focuses on the overall EPA hypothesis which states that …
Extension of the Lagrange multiplier test for error cross-section independence to large panels with non normal errors
This paper reexamines the seminal Lagrange multiplier test for cross-section independence in a large panel model where both the number of cross-sectional units n and the number of time series observations T can be large.…

Using a transformation of the autoregressive distributed lag model due to Bewley, a novel pooled Bewley (PB) estimator of long-run coefficients for dynamic panels with heterogeneous short-run dynamics is proposed. The PB…
Testing Granger Non-Causality in Panels with Cross-Sectional Dependencies
This paper proposes a new approach for testing Granger non-causality on panel data. Instead of aggregating panel member statistics, we aggregate their corresponding p-values and show that the resulting p-value approximat…
