This paper extends the transformed maximum likelihood approach for estimation of dynamic panel data models by Hsiao, Pesaran, and Tahmiscioglu (2002) to the case where the errors are crosssectionally heteroskedastic. This extension is not trivial due to the incidental parameters problem that...

In this note, we derive the finite sample bias of the modified ordinary least squares (MOLS) estimator, which was suggested by Wansbeek and Knaap (1999) and reconsidered by Hayakawa (2006a,b). From the formula for the finite sample bias, we find that the bias of the MOLS estimator becomes small...
