Feasible bias-corrected OLS, within-groups, and first-differences estimators for typical micro and macro AR(1) panel data models [PDF]
Dynamic panel data (DPD) models are usually estimated by the generalized method of moments. However, it is well documented in the DPD literature that this estimator suffers from considerable finite sample bias, especially when the time series is highly ...

Banking efficiency and economic growth in the MENA region [PDF]
This paper examines the nexus between cost efficiency and economic growth in the Middle East and North Africa region. We apply a causality analysis between cost efficiency and financial deepening using the Generalized Methods of Moments and our findings ...

A REASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INEQUALITY AND GROWTH: WHAT HUMAN CAPITAL INEQUALITY DATA SAY? [PDF]
This paper studies the empirical relationship between inequality and economic growth. It estimates a dynamic panel data model that controls for fixed effects and, therefore, solves the problem of omitted variable bias present in cross-section regressions.

Dynamic Panel Data Models Featuring Endogenous Interaction and Spatially Correlated Errors [PDF]
We extend the three-step generalized methods of moments (GMM) approach of Kapoor, Kelejian, and Prucha (2007), which corrects for spatially correlated errors in static panel data models, by introducing a spatial lag and a one-period lag of the dependent ...
