چکیده
This note analyzes the asymptotic distribution for instrumental variables regression for panel data when the available instruments are weak. We show that consistency can be established in panel data.

Gmm with Many Moment Conditions By
1 This paper provides a first order asymptotic theory for generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators when the number of moment conditions is allowed to increase with the sample size and the moment conditions may be weak. Examples in which these asymptotics are relevant include instrumental variable (IV) estimation with many (possibly weak or uninformed) instruments and some panel data model...
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 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 کاملParsimonious Estimation with Many Instruments
We suggest a way to perform parsimonious instrumental variables estimation in the presence of many, and potentially weak, instruments. In contrast to standard methods, our approach yields consistent estimates when the set of instrumental variables complies with a factor structure. In this sense, our method is equivalent to instrumental variables estimation that is based on principal components....
متن کاملMeasurement Errors in Dynamic Panel Data Analysis: a Synthesis on Modeling and Gmm Estimation
A panel data model which combines an autoregressive fixed effects panel data equation and a static equation with measurement errors is considered. Examples of models for pure time series data with errors in variables are the starting point. Two versions of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) for this panel data model are considered, with fixed effects accounted for by, respectively, (i) tra...
