Efficient Estimation Using Panel Data
利用面板数据进行有效估计
IN AN IMPORTANT RECENT PAPER, Hausman and Taylor (1981)-hereafter HT-considered the instrumental-variable estimation of a regression model using panel data, when the individual effects may be correlated with a subset of the explanatory variables. They provided a simple consistent estimator and an efficient estimator. More recently, Amemiya and MaCurdy (1986)-hereafter AM-have suggested an alternative estimator which is more efficient than the HT estimator, under certain…
