Large-N and Large-T Properties of Panel Data Estimators and the Hausman Test



Let Xh,2,it be the hth element of Xh,2,it. The required result follows if we can
show that

sup

T X (xh,2,it

- Exh,2,it)


< M for all h.

(41)


The proof of (41) is similar to the proof of Lemma 1 of Andrews (1991). This
proof relies on the following
α- mixing inequality presented in Hall and Heyde
(1980, p. 278). Suppose that
Y and W are random variables that are G-
measurable and H- measurable, respectively, with EY p and EWq <
, where p,q > 1 with 1/p + 1/q < 1. Then,

E (Y - EY ) (W - EW ) ∣ ≤ 8 H Y ∣∣p ∣∣ W ∣∣g [α (G, H)]1-1/p-1/q ,     (42)

where α (G, H) is the α-mixing coefficient between the sigma fields G and H.
Now, let
Xit = xh,2,it - Exh,2,it. Notice that
