Abstract
We propose a new estimator for the common change-point in means for panel data. Cumulative sum method is used for estimating the common change-point. We establish the consistency of the estimated change-point, and provide the rate of convergence. Comparison with the existing results is made in a simulation study via Monte Carlo method, which shows that our proposed method is more efficient.
