This article studies the estimation of change point in panel models. The authors extend Bai (2010) and Feng et al. (2009) to the case of stationary or nonstationary regressors and error term, and whether the change point is present or not. They prove consistency and derive the asymptotic distributions of the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and First Difference (FD) estimators. They find that the FD estimator is robust for all cases considered.
