Theorem 7 (asymptotic distribution of the GLS estimator of β): Suppose that
Assumptions 1-8 and 12 hold.
(a) Under Assumption 11 (local alternatives to random effects),
√NTG-,1T (βg - β) = √NTG-,1T (βw - β) + Op (1) ,

(b) Suppose that Assumption 10 (fixed effects) holds. Partition λ =(λx , λz)0
conformably to the sizes of xit and zi. Assume that λx 6= 0k×1 .IfN/T → c<∞
and the included regressors are only of the x22,it- and x3,it -types (no trends and
no cross-sectional heteroskedasticity in xit), then
√NTG-,1T (βg - β) = √NTG-,1T (βw - β) + Op (1) .
