Efficient Estimation With Panel Data When Instruments Are Predetermined: An Empirical Comparison of Moment-Condition Estimators

Ziliak, James P.·1997·Journal of Business & Economic Statistics

Abstract

I examine the empirical performance of instrumental variables estimators with predetermined instruments in an application to life-cycle labor supply under uncertainty. The estimators studied are two-stage least squares, generalized method-of-moments (GMM), forward filter, independently weighted GMM, and split-sample instrumental variables. I compare the bias/efficiency trade-off for the estimators using bootstrap algorithms suggested by Freedman and by Brown and Newey. Results indicate that the downward bias in GMM is quite severe as the number of moment conditions expands, outweighing the gains in efficiency. The forward-filter estimator, however, has lower bias and is more efficient than two-stage least squares.

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.
