Abstract: We consider a correlated random coefficient panel data model with two-way fixed effects and interactive fixed effects in a fixed T framework. We propose a two-way mean group (TW-MG) estimator for the expected value of the slope coefficient and propose a leave-one-out jackknife method for valid inference. We also consider a pooled estimator and provide a Hausman-type test for poolability. Simulations demonstrate the excellent performance of our estimators and inference methods in finite samples. We apply our new methods to two datasets to examine the relationship between health-care expenditure and income, and estimate a production function.
