It considers the fundamental issues of statistical inference of a random coefficients formulation using both the sampling and Bayesian approaches. The paper also provides a review of heterogeneous dynamic panels, testing for homogeneity under weak exogeneity, simultaneous equation random coefficient models, and the more recent developments in the area of cross-sectional dependence in panel data models.}, keywords={random coefficient models;dynamic heterogeneous panels;classical and Bayesian approaches;tests of slope heterogeneity;cross section dependence}, }
