Summary Linear generalised method of moments (GMM) estimators for dynamic panel models with predetermined or endogenous regressors suffer from a weak instruments problem when the data are highly persistent. In this paper, we propose new random- and fixed-effects limited-information quasi–maximum likelihood estimators (LIQMLEs) for such models. We also discuss LIQMLEs for models that contain time-varying individual effects. Unlike system GMM estimators, the LIQMLEs do not…

任意初始条件下面板 AR(1) 模型的准最大似然估计AI 解读

In this paper we show that the Quasi ML estimation method yields consistent Random and Fixed Effects estimators for the autoregression parameter ρ in the panel AR(1) model with arbitrary initial conditions and possibly time-series heteroskedasticity even when the error components are drawn from heterogeneous distributions. We investigate both analytically and by means of Monte Carlo simulations the properties of the QML estimators for ρ. The RE(Q)MLE for ρ is asymptotically…

持久数据下动态面板模型的 GMM 估计与推断AI 解读

In this paper we consider generalized method of moments–based (GMM-based) estimation and inference for the panel AR(1) model when the data are persistent and the time dimension of the panel is fixed. We find that the nature of the weak instruments problem of the Arellano–Bond (Arellano and Bond, 1991, Review of Economic Studies 58, 277–297) estimator depends on the distributional properties of the initial observations. Subsequently, we derive local asymptotic approximations…

This paper considers Maximum Likelihood (ML) based estimation and inference procedures for linear dynamic panel data models with fixed effects. The paper first studies the asymptotic properties of MaCurdy's [MaCurdy, T., 1982. The use of time series processes to model the time structure of earnings in a longitudinal data analysis.

协方差平稳与单位根面板 AR(1) 模型的有效线性 GMM 估计AI 解读

This paper considers generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation of the inclusive panel AR(1) model that contains the covariance stationary panel AR(1) model and the panel AR(1) model with a unit root as special cases. The paper presents a two-step optimal linear GMM (OLGMM) estimator for the inclusive model that is asymptotically equivalent to the optimal nonlinear GMM estimator of Ahn and Schmidt (1997, Journal of Econometrics 76, 309–321) when the data are covariance…
