演 題 : Double Filter Instrumental Variable Estimation of Panel Data Models with Weakly Exogenous Variables
Abstract
In this paper, we propose instrumental variables (IV) and
generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators for panel data models with weakly
exogenous variables. The model is allowed to
include heterogeneous time trends besides the standard fixed effects. The
proposed IV and GMM estimators are obtained by applying a forward filter to the
model and a backward filter to the instruments in order to remove fixed effects,
thereby called the double filter IV and GMM estimators. We derive the asymptotic
properties of the proposed estimators under fixed T and large N, and large T and
large N asymptotics where N and T denote the dimensions of cross section and
time series, respectively. It is shown that the proposed IV estimator has the
same asymptotic distribution as the bias corrected fixed effects estimator when
both N and T are large. Monte Carlo simulation results reveal that the proposed
estimator performs well in finite samples and outperforms the conventional
IV/GMM estimators using instruments in levels in many cases.
