TL;DR: In this article, the bias of the least square dummy variable (LSDV) estimator has been analyzed in the context of panel data with lagged dependent explanatory variables, and it has been shown that the conventional estimation procedures are asymptotically valid only when the number of observations in the time dimension (T) gets large.
