This paper puts forward a method to estimate average economic growth, andits associated confidence bounds, which does not require a formal decision onpotential unit root properties. The method is based on the analysis of eitherdifference-stationary or trend-stationary time series models,...

This paper shows that the evolution of the level of Mexico real and real per capita output between 1895 and 2008 can be adequately described through a trendstationary model, affected by 4 structural breaks, which occurred at dates that seem to coincide with domestic institutional arrangements,...

The small sample performance of system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and an alternative Transformed Maximum Likelihood (TML) estimator is investigated in Monte Carlo simulations, implementing a data generating process that tracks important features inherent in dynamic panels used in...
