This paper describes a lucid theoretical ground for the linear feedback model proposed by Blundell et al. (2002) and further proposes the indicator on the initial knowledge storage in the framework of the linear feedback model. The values of the indicator are calculated with the estimation...

This paper proposes some moment conditions associated with an appropriate specification of negative binomial model for count panel data, which is proposed by Hausman et al. (1984). The newly proposed moment conditions enable researchers to conduct the consistent estimation of the model under...

This paper proposes some new moment conditions under the assumption of the equidispersion in count panel data model. These are obtained by using the association between variances and covariances in the disturbance. Some Monte Carlo experiments configured for the Poisson model show that the GMM...

In this paper, the investigation is conducted on the relationship between the number of fatalities by dint of traffic accidents and the gross municipal product, by using the panel data whose crosssectional units are composed of municipalities in Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan. It turns out that the...

In this paper, a simple transformation is proposed for the fixed effects logit model, using which some valid moment conditions including the first-order condition for one of the conditional MLE proposed by Chamberlain (1980) can be generated. Some Monte Carlo experiments are carried out for the...

This paper advocates the transformations used for the consistent estimation of the full-fledged fixed effects zero-inflated Poisson model whose zero outcomes can arise from both of logit and Poisson parts and which equips both parts with the fixed effects. The valid moment conditions are...
