Global identification of dynamic panel models with interactive effects
This paper examines the problem of global identification in dynamic panel models with interactive effects, a fundamental issue in econometric theory. We focus on the setting where the number of cross-sectional units (N) is large, but the time dimension (T) remains fixed. While local identification based on the Jacobian matrix is well understood and relatively straightforward to establish, achieving global identification remains a significant challenge. Under a set of mild and easily satisfied conditions, we demonstrate that the parameters of the model are globally identified, ensuring that no two distinct parameter values generate the same probability distribution of the observed data. Our findings contribute to the broader literature on identification in panel data models and have important implications for empirical research that relies on interactive effects.

Identification of Average Marginal Effects in Fixed Effects Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
In nonlinear panel data models, fixed effects methods are often criticized because they cannot identify average marginal effects (AMEs) in short panels. The common argument is that identifying AMEs requires knowledge of …
