We propose a novel estimator for the dynamic panel model, which solves the failure of strict exogeneity by calculating the bias in the first-order conditions as a function of the autoregressive parameter and solving the resulting equation. We show that this estimator performs well as compared...

This paper considers the finite sample distribution of the 2SLS estimator and derives bounds on its exact bias in the presence of weak and/or many instruments. We then contrast the behavior of the exact bias expressions and the asymptotic expansions currently popular in the literature, including...

This paper analyzes the second order bias of instrumental variables estimators for a dynamic panel model with fixed effects. Three different methods of second order bias correction are considered. Simulation experiments show that these methods perform well if the model does not have a root near...
