FIRST DIFFERENCE MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD AND DYNAMIC PANEL ESTIMATION By
First difference maximum likelihood (FDML) seems an attractive estimation methodology in dynamic panel data modeling because differencing eliminates fixed effects and, in the case of a unit root, differencing transforms the data to stationarity, thereby addressing both incidental parameter problems and the possible effects of nonstationarity. This paper draws attention to certain pathologies th...
متن کاملFirst-difference estimator for panel censored-selection models
We propose a semiparametric first-difference estimator for panel censored-selection models where the selection equation is of tobit type. The estimator allows the unit-specific term to be arbitrarily related to regressors. The estimator minimizes a convex function and does not require any smoothing. A simulation study is provided comparing our proposal with the estimators of Wooldridge (Journal...
متن کاملInference with Difference in Differences and Other Panel Data∗
We examine inference in panel data when the number of groups is small as is typically the case for differences-in-differences estimation and when some variables are fixed within groups. In this case, standard asymptotics based on the number of groups going to infinity provide a poor approximation to the finite sample distribution. We show that in some cases the t-statistic is distributed as t a...
متن کاملStatistical inference in dynamic panel data models
T.W. Anderson and his collaborators have made seminal contributions to inference with instrumental variables and to dynamic panel data models. We review these contributions and the extensive economic and statistical literature that these contributions spawned. We describe our recent work in these two areas, presenting new approaches to (a) making valid inferences in the presence of weak instrum...
متن کاملIndirect Inference for Dynamic Panel Models ∗
It is well-known that maximum likelihood (ML) estimation of the autoregressive parameter of a dynamic panel data model with fixed effects is inconsistent under fixed time series sample size (T ) and large cross section sample size (N) asymptotics. The estimation bias is particularly relevant in practical applications when T is small and the autoregressive parameter is close to unity. The presen...
