Simple Solutions to the Initial Conditions Problem in Dynamic, Nonlinear Panel Data Models with Unobserved Heterogeneity
I study a simple, widely applicable approach to handling the initial conditions problem in dynamic, nonlinear unobserved effects models. Rather than attempting to obtain the joint distribution of all outcomes of the endogenous variables, I propose finding the distribution conditional on the initial value (and the observed history of strictly exogenous explanatory variables). The approach is fle...
متن کاملHandling initial conditions and endogenous covariates in dynamic/transition models for binary data with unobserved heterogeneity
Distinguishing between longitudinal dependence due to the effects of previous responses on subsequent responses and dependence due to unobserved heterogeneity is important in many disciplines. For example, wheezing is an inflammatory reaction that may ‘remodel’ a child’s airway structure and thereby affect the probability of future wheezing (state dependence). Alternatively, children could vary...
متن کاملIdentification and Estimation of Marginal Effects in Nonlinear Panel Models
This paper gives identification and estimation results for marginal effects in nonlinear panel models. We find that linear fixed effects estimators are not consistent, due in part to marginal effects not being identified. We derive bounds for marginal effects and show that they can tighten rapidly as the number of time series observations grows. We also show in numerical calculations that the b...
متن کاملEstimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models with Sample Selection
We thank the editor M. Hashem Pesaran and three anonymous referees for their useful comments. 1 Summary We propose a new method for estimating dynamic panel data models with selection. The method uses backward substitution for the lagged dependent variable, which leads to an estimating equation that requires correcting for contemporaneous selection only. The estimator is valid under relatively ...
متن کاملQML Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models with Spatial Errors
We propose quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation of dynamic panel models with spatial errors when the cross-sectional dimension n is large and the time dimension T is fixed. We consider both the random effects and fixed effects models and derive the limiting distributions of the QML estimators under different assumptions on the initial observations. We propose a residual-based bootstrap met...
