It is well known that the usual techniques for estimating random and fixed effects panel data models are inconsistent in the dynamic setting. As a consequence, numerous consistent estimators have been proposed in the literature. However, all such estimators rely on certain well defined...

Recent advances in computing power have brought the use of computer intensive estimation methods of binary panel data models within the reach of the applied researcher. The aim of this paper is to apply some of these techniques to a marleting data set and compare the results. In addition, their...

The gravity model has long been used fro modelling and predicting trade flows. This paper generalises the gravity model allowing for proper representation of local and target country effects and also the business cyles.

In this paper two new estimators are offred (one each for the fixed random effects specifications), and small sample performance compared with that of all the existing estimators.

Wage functions provide much useful descriptive information about those characteristics of individuals which are associated with relatively high or low wage rates. In any cross-sectional survey there are many individuals who are not working at the time the survey is carried out. Such people may...
