Abstract: Abstract This paper proposes a threshold extension of the spatial dynamic panel data (SDPD) model with fixed effects. We introduce a threshold variable to account for regional dependencies of parameters in SDPD models. Moreover, we applied an extension of Yang (J Econom 205(2):423–447, 2018) proposed unified M-estimation to estimate the parameters in the threshold SDPD models, where the consistency and asymptotic normality are established theoretically when the number of cross-sectional units tends to be infinite. The M-estimation is compared with the conditional quasi-maximum likelihood estimation by Monte Carlo experiments, showing that the M-estimation yields an estimation of less bias in cases of short time panels with robust standard errors under non-normality. We illustrate an empirical application of the threshold SDPD model to the U.S. state-level GDP and power usage growth data from 1998 to 2018, detecting the non-trivial regional dependencies of SDPD model parameters.
