This paper proposes estimating linear dynamic panels by explicitly exploiting the endogeneity of lagged dependent variables and expressing the crossmoments between the endogenous lagged dependent variables and disturbances in terms of model parameters. These moments, when recentered, form the...

We derive the exact distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator of the mean reversion parameter (k) in the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process by employing numerical integration via analytical evaluation of a joint characteristic function. Different scenarios are considered: known or unknown drift...
