SFB 823 Improved GMM estimation of panel data models with spatially correlated error components
نویسندگان
چکیده
We modify a previously suggested GMM estimator in a spatial panel regression model by taking into account the difference between disturbances and regression residuals and derive its asymptotic properties. Simulation results and an empirical application to Indonesian rice data illustrate the improvement in finite samples. JEL Classification: C13, C21

Maximum likelihood estimation of spatially and serially correlated panels with random effects
An estimation framework and a user-friendly software implementation are described for maximum likelihood estimation of panel data models with random effects, a spatially lagged dependent variable and spatially and serially correlated errors. This specification extends static panel data models in the direction of serial error correlation, allowing richer modelling possibilities and more thorough...
متن کاملInitial conditions and moment restrictions in dynamic panel data models
Estimation of the dynamic error components model is considered using two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard firstdifferenced GMM estimator. Both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process. Asymptotic efficiency comparisons and Monte Carlo simulations for the simple AR(1) model demonstrate the dramatic improvement in p...
متن کاملInstrumental Variable and Gmm Estimation for Panel Data with Measurement Error
Panel data allow correction for measurement error without assuming a known measurement error covariance matrix or using additional validation/replication data to estimate the measurement error covariance matrix. Griliches and Hausman (1986) proposed using the generalized method of moments (GMM) or optimal weighting to efficiently combine instrumental variable (IV) estimators. Wansbeek (2001) ap...
متن کاملThe Optimal Choice of Moments in Dynamic Panel
Empirical researchers frequently use dynamic panel data models and employ Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimators (Hansen, 1982) to estimate model parameters. An important practical problem in the estimation of a dynamic panel data model is the choice of moments as it provides a large number of moment conditions. Even though adding moment conditions leads to efficiency gain according to ...
متن کاملQuasi Maximum-Likelihood Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models
This paper establishes the almost sure convergence and asymptotic normality of levels and differenced quasi maximum-likelihood (QML) estimators of dynamic panel data models. The QML estimators are robust with respect to initial conditions, conditional and time-series heteroskedasticity, and misspecification of the log-likelihood. The paper also provides an ECME algorithm for calculating levels ...
