Abstract

In this paper, we focus on forecasting heterogeneous panels in presence of cross-sectional depen-dence in terms of both spatial error dependence and common factors. We propose two mainapproaches to estimate the factor structure, one using the residuals (“Residuals Based Approach”,RBA) while the second using a panel of some variables (“Auxiliary Variables Approach”, AVA)to extract the factors. Small sample properties of the methods proposed is investigated throughMonte Carlo simulation exercises and used in an application to predict house price inflation inOECD countries.
