Before revision:  We provide conditions under which group membership is estimated consistently and establish asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators. 
After revision:  We provide conditions under which group membership is estimated consistently and establish asymptotic normality of the resulting estimators. Simulations show that the method works well in finite samples when T is reasonably large. To illustrate the proposed methodology we study the effects of the adoption of Right-to-Carry concealed weapon laws on violent crime rates using panel data of 51 U.S. states from 1977 - 2010.
