This paper reviews recent developments in nonparametric identi.cation of mea- surement error models and their applications in applied microeconomics, in particular, in empirical industrial organization and labor economics. Measurement error models describe mappings from a latent distribution to...

This paper propose a new panel stochastic dominance (SD) test-PDD test, the asymptotic properties are derived, which extends Davidson and Duclos (DD) SD test to a panel context. The PDD test also contributes to settle one of the demerits while working with financial derivatives time series: that...

This paper develops a consistent series-based specification test for semiparametric panel data models with fixed effects. The test statistic resembles the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test statistic in parametric models and is based on a quadratic form in the restricted model residuals. The use of...

Panel or grouped data are often used to allow for unobserved individual heterogeneity in econometric models via fixed effects. In this paper, we discuss identification of a panel data model in which the unobserved heterogeneity both enters additively and interacts with treatment variables. We...

The estimation of linear, static regression equations from panel data with measurement errors in the regressors is considered. If the latent regressor is autocorrelated or non-stationary, several consistent instrumental variables (IV) and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators usually...

Based on German data between 1999 and 2007, we analyze the growth factors of SMEs and contrast them with those of large firms. Differences show up both in balance sheet and employment growth. While we confirm earlier results on inherent growth structures and the influence of firm age, we derive...

This study aims to survey the effects of economic globalization on the firm's stock that is measured by the index of the stock market by using panel data in selected countries in Asia (Iran, Saudi Arabia, India, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, Russia, Pakistan, Philippines,...

This article uses the recent developments in the econometrics of non-stationary dynamic panel data to re-examine the relationship between external and internal performance measures of the firm. A sample of 420 U.S. firms over the period (1990-2004) is used in the empirical analysis. In addition,...

In this paper, an effort will be made to show the positive impact of banking entrepreneurship on banking solvency. The sample covers western European countries and the United States during the period 1997–2008. Data source is O.E.C.D., Eurostat and I.M.F. The econometric model with panel data...
