New transformation methods in dynamic panel data models with heterogeneous time trends

摘要

In this paper, we introduce new type of within groups transformations so called the double within groups (DWG) and the long within groups (LWG) transformations. Both transformations eliminate individual effects and heterogeneous deterministic time trends jointly. Asymptotic analysis shows that both the DWG and LWG estimators are consistent when T is large. Simulation results show that both estimators have smaller root mean squared errors than the modified within groups estimator.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13504850701735831
