Linear Regression Limit Theory for Nonstationary Panel Data

This paper develops a regression limit theory for nonstationary panel data with large numbers of cross section and time series observations. The limit theory allows for both sequential limits and joins limits, and the relationship between these multidimensional limits is explored. The panel structures considered allow for no time series cointegration, heterogeneous cointegration, homogeneous cointegration, and near-homogeneous cointegration. The paper explores the existence of long-run average relations between integrated panel vectors. In the case of homogeneous and near homogeneous cointegrating panels, a panel fully modified regression estimator is developed and studied.
