In this paper I consider 28 developed and developing countries, in the period 1980- 1995, and I employ the Within Group and the Generalized Method of Moments estimators to test, respectively, for Total Factor Productivity determinants and labor productivity convergence driving forces...

An exact maximum likelihood method is developed for the estimation of parameters in a nonlinear non-Gaussian dynamic panel data model with unobserved random individual-specific and time-varying effects. We propose an estimation procedure based on the importance sampling technique. In particular,...

This paper estimates production functions for Greek regions over 1981-2003, using a novel human capital dataset. We construct rich human capital series, where data for employees are decomposed according to their education level. Our empirics include recent non-stationary panel techniques,...
