GMM Estimation of Fixed Effects Dynamic Panel Data Models with Spatial Lag and Spatial Errors (Replaced by CentER DP 2015-003)

Cizek, Pavel; Jacobs, J.P.A.M.; Ligthart, J.E.; Vrijburg, H. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2011

We extend the three-step generalized methods of moments (GMM) approach of Kapoor et al. (2007), which corrects for spatially correlated errors in static panel data models, by introducing a spatial lag and a one-period lag of the dependent variable as additional explanatory variables. Combining...

Estimating Dynamic Models from Repeated Cross-Sections

Verbeek, M.J.C.M.; Vella, F. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2000

A major attraction of panel data is the ability to estimate dynamic models on an individual level. Moffitt (1993) and Collado (1998) have argued that such models can also be identified from repeated cross-section data. In this paper we reconsider this issue. We review the identification...

The Transnational Origins of Constituions : Evidence From a New Global Data Set On Constitional Rights

Goderis, Benedikt; Versteeg, M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2013

Abstract Constitutions are commonly described as national products shaped by domestic politics. This paper develops and empirically tests a different hypothesis, which is that constitutions are also shaped by transnational influence, or “diffusion”. Constitutional rights can diffuse through...

Dynamic Panel Data Models Featuring Endogenous Interaction and Spatially Correlated Errors

Jacobs, J.P.A.M.; Ligthart, J.E.; Vrijburg, H. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2009

We extend the three-step generalized methods of moments (GMM) approach of Kapoor, Kelejian, and Prucha (2007), which corrects for spatially correlated errors in static panel data models, by introducing a spatial lag and a one-period lag of the dependent variable as additional explanatory...

Bias-Corrected Quantile Regression Estimation of Censored Regression Models

Cizek, Pavel; Sadikoglu, S. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2014

Motivated by weak small-sample performance of the censored regression quantile estimator proposed by Powell (1986a), two- and three-step estimation methods were introduced for estimation of the censored regression model under conditional quantile restriction. While those stepwise estimators have...

Heterogeneous Treatment Effects : Instrumental Variables Without Monotonicity?

Klein, Tobias J. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2008

A fundamental identification problem in program evaluation arises when idiosyncratic gains from participation and the treatment decision depend on each other. Imbens and Angrist (1994) were the first to exploit a monotonicity condition in order to identify a local average treatment effect...
