A further look at Modified ML estimation of the panel AR(1) model with fixed effects and arbitrary initial conditions
固定效应与任意初始条件下的面板 AR(1) 修正极大似然估计再研究
In this paper we consider two generalizations of Lancaster's (Review of Economic Studies, 2002) Modified Maximum Likelihood estimator (MMLE) for the panel AR(1) model with fixed effects, arbitrary initial conditions, and strictly exogenous covariates when the time dimension of the panel, T, is fixed. When the autoregressive parameter rho=1, the limiting modified profile log-likelihood function for this model has a stationary point of inflection, and rho is first-order…
