Note that (22) - (26) are essentially the same as (13) - (17) except that they do
not include the time trend

CASE 2.2: Now, we consider the case in which the Θ2,i are constant over
different
i; that is, p2,2 - p22,1 =0. If the model contains no intercept term
(ζ =0) and it is estimated with this restriction, all of the results (22) - (26) are
still valid with
p2,2 replacing (p2,2 - p22,1). However, if the model contains an
intercept term, the assumption of cross-sectional homoskedasticity affects the
convergence rates of the between estimator and the Hausman statistic, while
it does not to the within and GLS estimators. To see this, we assume that
Θ
2,i =0, for all i, without loss of generality. Then, we can show
