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

Venture capital investor type and the growth mode of new technology-based firms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that independent venture capital investors have more powerful incentives than corporate venture capital (CVC) investors to take actions that signal their capabilities (i.e. to “grandstand”) and argue that this should engender differences in the treatment effect of IVC and CVC on the mode of growth of portfolio companies.

Examining the Neighborhood Context of the Violent Offending-Victimization Relationship: A Prospective Investigation
Mark T. Berg,Rolf Loeber +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined a set of hypotheses regarding the interplay of neighborhood structural conditions and the victim-offender overlap and found that the relationship between offending and victimization is pronounced in disadvantaged neighborhoods, while offending is not significantly related to victimization risk.

Fiscal federalism and the composition of public investment in Europe
Andreas Kappeler,Timo Välilä +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse the determinants of the composition of public investment in Europe, with a special focus on the role of fiscal decentralisation, and they suggest that fiscal decentralization boosts economically productive public investment, notably infrastructure, and curbs the relative share of economically less productive investment, such as recreational facilities.
