A Monte Carlo Study of a Factor Analytical Method for Fixed-Effects Dynamic Panel Models
Author
Summary, in English
In a recent article Bai (2013a) proposes a new factor analytical method (FAM) for the estimation of fixed-effects dynamic panel data models, which has the unique and very useful property that it is asymptotically bias free. In this paper we provide Monte Carlo evidence of the good small-sample performance of FAM, that complement Bai's theoretical study.
