My new paper with Vasilis Sarafidis on spillovers and drivers of U.S. state population growth is now forthcoming in Spatial Economic Analysis. It provides an application for the spatial econometric methods implemented in our xtivdfreg Stata package.
The 31st International Panel Data Conference will be hosted by the University of Exeter on July 6-7, 2026. I have the pleasure to be the head of the local organizing committee. Paper submission and registration are now open.
In July 2025, Vasilis Sarafidis and I published an article documenting the new features of our xtivdfreg Stata package for estimating spatial dynamic panel data models with unobserved common factors in the Journal of Statistical Software. The Stata package was last updated on November 11, 2025, to version 1.5.4.
I have updated the xtdpdgmm Stata program for the generalized method of moments estimation of linear dynamic panel data models to version 2.7.2 on July 17, 2025.
An updated manuscript of my current work with Matei Demetrescu and Mehdi Hosseinkouchack on serial correlation testing in error component models with moderately small T is now available. I have presented this project at the International Panel Data Conference 2025 in Montpellier. In 2024, I gave talks on it in the economics research seminar at Leipzig University, at the Workshop on Recent Advances in Panel and Network Data at the University of Oxford, and in the econometrics seminar at the University of Bristol. Our proposed tests are implemented in the new xtdpdserial Stata program, which was last updated to version 1.0.3 on October 30, 2024. Presentation slides from the 2024 UK Stata Conference are available online.
My paper with Melanie Krause on insights from commuter flows for regional dependencies and local spillovers appeared in the June 2025 issue of the Journal of Regional Science. Stata replication files are available.
