  • The regression is implemented using the dynamic panel estimator by Blundell and Bond (1998), which controls for endogenous prices and serially correlated error terms.

    “We implement this regression using the dynamic panel estimator by Blundell and Bond ( 1998 ) , which controls for endogenous prices and serially correlated error terms.”
  • The System GMM approach is particularly suitable for this study because it addresses key econometric challenges such as endogeneity, unobserved heterogeneity, and measurement errors.

    “the System GMM approach, as developed by Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell and Bond (1998), is particularly suitable for this study because it addresses key econometric challenges such as endogeneity, unobserved heterogeneity, and measurement errors.”
  • The system-GMM employs lags of the endogenous regressor as internal instruments to mitigate potential endogeneity issues.

    “Furthermore, it employs the lags of the endogenous regressor as internal instruments to mitigate any potential endogeneity issues that may develop because of the introduction of the lag dependent variable as part of the regressors.”
  • The system-GMM estimator can handle panel data with small time (T) and large cross-sectional units (N).

    “First, the system-GMM estimator can handle panel data with small time (T) and large cross-sectional units (N), such as T = 18 and N = 29 in this study.”
  • The paper uses a dynamic panel SYS-GMM estimator, which allows control for potential endogeneity problems.

    “Secondly, as estimation strategy, we use a dynamic panel systemgeneralised method of moments (SYS-GMM) estimator, which allows us to control for potential endogeneity problems.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
