<<In search of robust methods for dynamic panel data models in empirical corporate finance>>
此篇论文发表在2015年Journal of Banking & Finance上。作者在文中探讨了正确分析公司财务动态面板数据的方法。
简介
We examine which methods are appropriate for estimating dynamic panel data models in empirical corporate finance. Our simulations show that the instrumental variable and GMM estimators are unreliable, and sensitive to the presence of unobserved heterogeneity, residual serial correlation, and changes in control parameters. The bias-corrected fixed-effects estimators, based on an analytical, bootstrap, or indirect inference approach, are found to be the most appropriate and robust methods. These estimators perform reasonably well even in models with fractional dependent variables censored at [0, 1]. We verify these results in two empirical applications, on dynamic capital structure and cash holdings.
