Abstract: This dissertation is composed of three essays on spatial econometric models with missing data. Spatial models that have a long history in regional science and geography have received substantial attention in various areas of economics recently. Applications of spatial econometric models prevail in urban, developmental and labor economics among others. In practice, an issue that researchers often face is the missing data problem. Although many solutions such as list-wise deletion and EM algorithm can be found in literature, most of them are either not suited for spatial models or hard to apply due to technical difficulties. My research focuses on the estimation of the spatial econometric models in the presence of missing data problems. The first chapter develops a GMM method based on linear moments for the estimation of mixed regressive, spatial autoregressive (MRSAR) models with missing observations in the dependent variables. The estimation method uses the expectation of the missing data, as a function of the observed independent variables and the parameters to be estimated, to replace the missing data themselves in the estimation. The proposed GMM estimators are shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. Feasible optimal weighting matrix for the GMM estimation is given. We extend our estimation method to MRSAR models with heteroskedastic disturbances, high order MRSAR models and unbalanced spatial panel data models with random effects as well. From these extensions, we see that the proposed GMM method has more compatibility, compared with the conventional EM algorithm. The second chapter considers a group interaction model first proposed by Lee (2006); this model is a special case of the spatial autoregressive (SAR) models. It is a first attempt to estimate the model in a more general random sample setting, i.e. a framework in which only a random sample rather than the whole population in a group is available. We incorporate group heteroskedasticity along with the endogenous, exogenous and group fixed effects in the model. We prove that, under some basic assumptions and certain identification conditions, the quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal when the functional form of the group heteroskedasticity is known. Two types of misspecifications are considered, and, under each, the estimators are inconsistent. We also propose IV estimation in the case that the group heteroskedasticity is unknown. A LM test of group heteroskedasticity is given at the end. The third chapter considers the same group interaction model as that in the second chapter, but focuses on the large group interaction case and uses a random effects setting for the group specific characters. A GMM estimation framework using moment conditions from both within and between equations is applied to the model. We prove that under some basic assumptions and certain identification conditions, the GMM estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal, and the convergence rates of the estimators are higher than those of the estimators derived from the within equations only. Feasible optimal GMM estimators are proposed.

The first chapter, Two-Way Fixed Effects versus Panel Factor Augmented Estimators: Asymptotic Comparison among Pre-testing Procedures, provides asymptotic analyses of pretesting procedures when the slope coefficients are heterogeneous across cross-sectional units. Empirical researchers may wonder whether or not a two-way fixed effects estimator (with individual and time fixed effects) is sufficiently sophisticated to isolate the influence of common shocks on the estimation of slope coefficients. If it is not, practitioners need to run the so-called panel factor augmented regression instead. There are two pre-testing procedures available in the literature: the use of the estimated number of factors and the direct test of estimated factor loading coefficients. This chapter compares the two pre-testing methods asymptotically. Under the presence of the heterogeneous factor loadings, both pre-testing procedures suggest using the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) estimator. By comparing asymptotic variances, this chapter finds that when the slope coefficients are heterogeneous with homogeneous factor loadings, the CCE estimation is, surprisingly, more efficient than the two-way fixed effects estimation. The second chapter, A New Test for Slope Homogeneity in a Panel Regression with Interactive Fixed Effects, proposes a new test for slope homogeneity in a panel regression with interactive fixed effects without any restriction on the relative expansion rate of n, the number of cross-sectional units, and T, the number of periods.This test is based on a comparison of the estimated number of common factors from two regression residuals. The first regression is an unconstrained regression with heterogeneous slope parameters. The second regression is a pooled regression based on the principal components mean group method. Under the slope heterogeneity, this chapter shows that the estimated number of common factors from the first regression residuals is asymptotically smaller than that of the second regression residuals. In the third chapter, Identification of Outliers for Testing Weak ϳ-Convergence, the authors suggest three novel procedures for separating the divergent series from a convergent club. Weak ϳ8́2convergence test is designed to detect whether cross-sectional variances of a panel data of interest show consistent diminution over time. When the panel data of interest includes divergent series, the cross-sectional variances become contaminated, which results in a seemingly divergent behavior. This chapter deals with this problem. We propose three novel detection procedures for identifying divergence series and provide the asymptotic justification. Utilizing Monte Carlo simulations, the finite sample properties are examined. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the newly proposed methods by using infant mortality rates in 42 countries. Even though all infant mortality rates have shown a downward trending behavior over time, the cross-sectional variance of log infant mortality rates is diverging over time. By using the proposed sieving methods, we identify six outliers. After excluding these outliers, the rest of the infant mortality rates are weakly ϳ-converging over time. Altogether, this dissertation provides methods for a better understanding of the source and nature of the cross-sectional dependence in panel data models.

Panel data econometrics has evolved rapidly over the past three decades. The field is of both theoretical and practical importance, and methods to deal with micro- and macroeconomic panel data are in high demand from practitioners. Applications in finance, development, trade, marketing, health, labor, and consumer economics attest to the usefulness of these methods in applied economics. THis book is a comprehensive source on panel data. It contains 20 chapters edited by Professor Badi Baltagi--one of the leading econometricians in the area of panel data econometrics--and authored by renowned experts in the field. The chapters are divided into two sections. Part I examines new developments in theory. It includes panel cointegration, dynamic panel data models, incidental parameters and dynamic panel modeling, and panel data models for discrete choice. The chapters in Part II target applications of panel data, including health, labor, marketing, trade, productivity and macro applications in panels.
