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

Democracy, Populism and Hyperin‡ation(s): Some Evidence from Latin America
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test for the populist view of inflation and macroeconomic instability in Latin America between 1970 and 2007, and find that recently elected governments coming into power after periods of political dictatorship, and which are faced with high economic inequality, end up generating high inflation.
