Dynamic panel data models: a guide to microdata methods and practice
TLDR
In this article, the focus is on panels where a large number of individuals or firms are observed for a small number of time periods, typical of applications with microeconomic data, and the emphasis is on single equation models with autoregressive dynamics and explanatory variables.Abstract:
This paper reviews econometric methods for dynamic panel data models, and presents examples that illustrate the use of these procedures. The focus is on panels where a large number of individuals or firms are observed for a small number of time periods, typical of applications with microeconomic data. The emphasis is on single equation models with autoregressive dynamics and explanatory variables that are not strictly exogenous, and hence on the Generalised Method of Moments estimators that are widely used in this context. Two examples using firm-level panels are discussed in detail: a simple autoregressive model for investment rates; and a basic production function.read more

The Deterrence Effects of U.S. Merger Policy Instruments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the deterrence effects of U.S. merger policy instruments with respect to the composition and frequency of future merger notifications, and find that the conditional probability of eliciting an antitrust challenge (i.e., remedies and prohibitions) involves the strongest deterrence effect from amongst the different merger policy measures.

Internal corporate governance mechanisms as drivers of firm value: panel data evidence for Chilean firms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed to what extent ownership structure, capital structure, and dividend policy as corporate governance mechanisms drive the firm value, and found that there is an inverse U-shaped relationship between ownership concentration and firm value.

Innovations and productivity: the shift during the 2008 crisis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how the recent crisis of 2008 changed relations between innovation and firm performance in Western Europe and found that the most important evidence is enhancement of the role of firm resources in the post-recession period.

Financial Development and Inequality: Brazil 1985-1999
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact that financial development had on earnings inequality in Brazil in the 1980s and 1990s and showed that broader access to financial and credit markets had a significant and robust effect in reducing inequality during the period.
