This paper proposes new GMM estimators for the panel AR(1) model when the ratio of the variance of the individual effects to the variance of the idiosyncratic errors is large. First, we present a necessary condition for large N, fixed T consistency of any Fixed Effects or Random Effects...

In this paper we discuss several limited information (LI) and full information (FI) random effects and fixed effects Quasi ML estimators (MLEs) for panel AR(1) models with additional regressors. We also consider related GMM estimators. All estimators are consistent for short (large N, fixed T)...

This paper considers inference procedures for two types of dynamic linear panel data models with fixed effects (FE). First, it shows that the closures of stationary ARMAFE models can be consistently estimated by Conditional Maximum Likelihood Estimators and it derives their asymptotic...

In this paper we consider inference procedures for two types of dynamic linear panel data models with fixed effects. First, we show that the closure of the stationary ARMA panel model with fixed effects can be consistently estimated by the First Difference Maximum Likelihood Estimator and we...

This paper considers estimation of panel data models with fixed effects. First, we will show that a consistent "unrestricted fixed effects" estimator does not exist for autoregressive panel data models with initial conditions. We will derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the...
