This paper revisits the Institutions and growth models. Econometric techniques have been applied on cross-country data, just to confirm the apriori knowledge that Institutions effect on growth is positive and highly statistically significant. This evidence was confirmed by all four models. OLS...

This research aims to show the direct and indirect effects of size on the performance of the municipalities of Santa Catarina, due to the academic discussion about the size of the municipality affecting its performance. All municipalities in the state of Santa Catarina, from 2005 to 2016, were...

The main contribution of this paper is to add to the literature by suggesting a dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimator and providing a serious comparison of the finite sample properties of the OLS, fully modified OLS (FMOLS), and DOLS estimators in panel cointegrated regression models. Monte Carlo results...

In this paper, we study the asymptotic distributions for least-squares (OLS), fully modified (FM), and dynamic OLS (DOLS) estimators in cointegrated regression models in panel data. We show that the OLS, FM, and DOLS estimators are all asymptotically normally distributed. However, the asymptotic...

The paper considers two estimators for the linear random effects panel data model with known heteroskedasticity. Examples where heteroskedasticity can be treated as given include panel regression with averaged data, meta regression and the linear probability model. While one estimator builds on...
