We propose two new estimators for a wide class of panel data models with nonseparable error terms and endogenous … explanatory variables. The first estimator covers qualitative choice models and both estimators cover models with continuous … the assumption that the error distribution is exchangeable in the explanatory variables of each unit. It applies to models …

We examine the impact of a large number of Japanese government-sponsored research consortia on the research productivity of participating firms by measuring their patenting in the targeted technologies before, during, and after participation. Consistent with the theoretical predictions of Katz...

Expanding on an approach suggested by Ashenfelter (1984), we extend the Phillips curve to an open economy and exploit panel data to estimate the textbook 'expectations augmented' Phillips curve with a market-based and observable measure of inflation expectations. We develop this measure using...

In many fields researchers wish to consider statistical models that allow for more complex relationships than can be … points in time can often provide the richer data needed for such models. Although such data allows researchers to identify … more complex models than cross-sectional data, missing data problems can be more severe in panels. In particular, even …

By 1989 the Michigan Panel Study on Income Dynamics (PSID) had experienced approximately 50 percent sample loss from cumulative attrition from its initial 1968 membership. We study the effect of this attrition on the unconditional distributions of several socioeconomic variables and on the...

This paper discusses different empirical tests of public sector solvency and applies them to a sample of 18 OCED countries. Provided that the government solvency constraint need to be imposed, these tests develop from the idea of verifying whether the intertemporal budget constraint of the...

In this paper we provide some econometric evidence on the impact of financial factors like cash flow, debt and stock measures of liquidity on the investment decisions of U. K. firms. These variables are introduced via an extension of the Q model of investment which explicitly includes...

This paper considers estimation and testing of vector autoregression coefficients in panel data, and applies the techniques to analyze the dynamic properties of revenues, expenditures, and grants in a sample of United States municipalities. The model allows for nonstationary individual effects,...

This note presents a simple, linear test for individual effects in dynamic models using panel data; building upon the … moment conditions implied by the presence of individual effects and is particularly suited for dynamic models using panel … straightforward. Moreover, the test statistics follows directly from the estimation of autoregressive models …
