报告摘要：

We develop a unifying econometric framework for the analysis of heterogeneous panel data models that can account for both spatial dependence and common factors. To tackle the challenging issue of endogeneity due to the spatial lagged term and the correlation between the regressors and factors, we propose an estimation procedure that approximates factors by cross-section averages of regressors only and deals with the spatial endogeneity via internal instrumental variables. We develop the individual estimator as well as the Mean Group and the Pooled estimators, and establish their consistency and asymptotic normality. Monte Carlo simulations confirm that the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators is quite satisfactory. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach with an application to a gravity model of bilateral trade flows for 14 EU countries, finding that the trade flows between UK and EU members would fall significantly following a hard Brexit.
