pdynmc is an R-package for GMM estimation of linear dynamic panel data models that are based on linear and nonlinear moment conditions as proposed by Anderson and Hsiao (1982), Holtz-Eakin, Newey, and Rosen (1988), Arellano and Bover (1995), and Ahn and Schmidt (1995). This paper describes the...

We conduct a narrow replication of Browning and Collado (Journal of Applied Econometrics 2007; 22(3): 625-640). They estimate a linear panel AR(1) version of an Engel curve for six consumption composites using iterated GMM. We find that the coefficient estimates and standard errors differ from the...

The linear dynamic panel data model provides a possible avenue to deal with unobservable individual-specific heterogeneity and dynamic relationships in panel data. The model structure renders standard estimation techniques inconsistent. Estimation and inference can, however, be carried out with...

We propose an instrumental variables (IV) estimator based on nonlinear (in param- eters) moment conditions for estimating linear dynamic panel data models and derive the large sample properties of the estimator. We assume that the only explanatory variable in the model is one lag of the...

We study the estimation of the lag parameter of linear dynamic panel data models with first order dynamics based on the quadratic Ahn and Schmidt (1995) moment conditions. Our contribution is twofold: First, we show that extending the standard assumptions by mean stationarity and time series...
