Non - and Semi - Parametric Panel Data Models : A Selective Review
This article provides a selective review on the recent developments of some nonlinear nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models. In particular, we focus on two types of modelling frameworks: nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models with deterministic trends, and semiparametric single-index panel data models with individual effects. We also review various estimation methodolog...
متن کاملFirm growth and productivity growth: evidence from a panel VAR
This paper offers new insights into the processes of firm growth by applying a reduced-form vector autoregression (VAR) model to longitudinal panel data on French manufacturing firms. We observe the co-evolution of key variables such as growth of employment, sales, and gross operating surplus, as well as growth of multifactor productivity. It seems that employment growth is negatively associate...
متن کاملSmoking Persistence in Europe: A Semi-Parametric Panel Data Analysis with Selectivity
We provide new cross-country evidence on smoking persistence in Europe, which can be due to both true state dependence and individual unobserved heterogeneity. We distinguish between the two by using semi-parametric panel data selection methods, applied to both the smoking participation and the cigarette consumption decision. We find that for both smoking decisions true state dependence is gene...
متن کاملEstimating Semi-parametric Panel Multinomial Choice Models using Cyclic Monotonicity∗
This paper proposes a new semi-parametric identification and estimation approach to multinomial choice models in a panel data setting with individual fixed effects. Our approach is based on cyclic monotonicity, which is a defining feature of the random utility framework underlying multinomial choice models. From the cyclic monotonicity property, we derive identifying inequalities without requir...
متن کاملPanel Data Analysis of U.S. Coal Productivity
We analyze labor productivity in coal mining in the United States using indices of productivity change associated with the concepts of panel data modeling. This approach is valuable when there is extensive heterogeneity in production units, as with coal mines. We ̄nd substantial returns to scale for coal mining in all geographical regions, and ̄nd that smooth technical progress is exhibited by ...
