In this paper, we study the identification of a particular case of the 3PL model, namely when the discrimination parameters are all constant and equal to 1. We term this model, 1PL-G model. The identification analysis is performed under three different specifications. The first specification...

This study uses Monte Carlo analysis to investigate the performances of five different meta-analysis (MA) estimators: the Fixed Effects (FE) estimator, the Weighted Least Squares (WLS) estimator, the Random Effects (RE) estimator, the Precision Effect Test (PET) estimator, and the Precision...

This paper aims to explore the determinants of profitability of Islamic banks in Sudan, one of the few countries that have total Islamic economic and banking systems. Using a sample of Sudanese banks, the paper found that only the internal factors to these banks have a significant impact on...

This paper suggests random and fixed effects spatial two-stage least squares estimators for the generalized mixed regressive spatial autoregressive panel data model. This extends the generalized spatial panel model of Baltagi, Egger and Pfaffermayr (2013) by the inclusion of a spatial lag...

This paper establishes the almost sure convergence and asymptotic normality of quasi maximum-likelihood (QML) estimators of a dynamic panel data model when the time series for each cross section is short. The QML estimators are robust with respect to initial conditions and misspecification of...

This paper compares the performance of alternative estimation approaches for Public Goods Game data. A leave-one-out cross validation was applied to test the performance of five estimation approaches. Random effects is revealed as the best estimation approach because of its un-biased and precise...
