Mundlak (1978) showed that when individual effects are correlated with the explanatory variables in an error component (EC) model, the GLS estimator is given by the within. In this paper we bring out some additional interesting properties of the within estimator in Mundlak's model and go on to...

Mundlak ("On the Pooling of Time Series and Cross-Section Data", Econometrica, Vol. 46 (1978),pp. 69-85) showed that when individual effects are correlated with the explanatory variables in an error component (EC) model, the GLS estimator is given by the within. In this paper we bring out some...

This paper is concerned with the estimation of nonlinear SUR models with additive AR(1) disturbances using panel data. We propose a transformation which eliminates auto-correlation for the whole system and yields a classical SUR-EC model. We present a general class of minimum distance estimators...
