For static panel data models that include endogenous time-invariant variables correlated with individual effects, exogenous averages over time of time-varying can be internal instruments. To pretest their exogeneity, we first estimate a random effects model includes all (Mundlak, 1978; Krishnakumar, 2006). Internal instruments are then selected if parameter is statistically different from zero ...

Examining the distribution of income and wealth within the household context is almost always hampered by the lack of individual level data. Based on unique individual level wealth data from the German S...

This study investigates how well historical hospital cost/revenue drivers explain the recent hospital spending trend in the 2000s, and how importan...

We draw on a recent literature showing that a normalized regression equation can be used to resolve the identification problem in ...
