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

Since Vi is independent of wi, we have

Proof of Lemma 2

Part (a)

By definition, we have

— ^NX ʌTXGxT ^(xit Eixit + Eixit  Eixi + Eixi ^xi)

— NXTX (IIIι,iT +III2,iT+III3,iT)(III1,iT +III2,iT+III3,iT)⁰, say.

First, we show that

For this, set
