Arellano-Bond LASSO Estimator for Dynamic Linear Panel Models
动态线性面板模型的 Arellano–Bond LASSO 估计量
The Arellano-Bond estimator is a fundamental method for dynamic panel data models, widely used in practice. It can be severely biased when the time series dimension of the data, $T$, is long. The source of the bias is the large degree of overidentification. We propose a simple two-step approach to deal with this problem. The first step applies LASSO to the cross-section data at each time period to select the most informative moment conditions, exploiting the approximately…
