This paper constructs estimators for panel data regression models with individual specific heterogeneity and two-sided censoring and truncation. Following Powell (1986) the estimation strategy is based on moment conditions constructed from re-censored or re-truncated residuals. While these...

We investigate the finite sample performance of several estimators proposed for the panel data Tobit regression model with individual effects, including Honor¨¦ estimator, Hansen¡¯s best two-step GMM estimator, the continuously updating GMM estimator, and the empirical likelihood estimator...

The auto industry, since the 1960s, showed substantial growth in South Korea causing the country at the end of the 1980s was among the world's leading manufacturers of automobiles. In the early 1990s, associated with the opening up of the economy held by the Korean government, the auto industry...

This model of policy evaluation has been developed to identify factors that cause policy outcomes to diverge from the intended results. In this model the explanatory factors may be inherent to the conceptual and institutional framework to which policy makers adhere, or they may be ‘real...

From the 1990s, it intensified in the global economy the implementation of strategies for companies of fragmenting their production processes and allocate their productive activities in various countries and regions, forming with this global value chains to recreate the international division of...

This paper assesses the Brazilian National Defense Policy considering the objectives established by the National Defense Policy (PDN), the National Defense Strategy (END) and the National Defense White Paper (LBDN). It seeks to clarify whether the goals listed in such documents have been...
