INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLES ESTIMATION FOR INFINITE ORDER PANEL AUTOREGRESSIVE PROCESSES
无限阶面板自回归过程的工具变量估计
We consider instrumental variables (IV) estimation of a possibly infinite order dynamic panel autoregressive (AR) process with individual effects. The estimation is based on the sieve AR approximation, with its lag order increasing with sample size. Transforming the variable to eliminate individual effects generates an endogeneity problem, particularly when the time series is only moderately long. IV approaches are useful to obtain well-behaved estimators in panels with…
