Enhancing ICT for Inclusive Human Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess if increasing information and communication technology (ICT) enhances inclusive human development in a sample of 49 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa for the period 2000-2012.

Some Tests of Specification for Panel Data: Monte Carlo Evidence and an Application to Employment Equations.
Manuel Arellano,Stephen Bond +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator optimally exploits all the linear moment restrictions that follow from the assumption of no serial correlation in the errors, in an equation which contains individual effects, lagged dependent variables and no strictly exogenous variables.

Initial conditions and moment restrictions in dynamic panel data models
Richard Blundell,Stephen Bond +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard first-differenced GMM estimator are presented. But both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process.

Another look at the instrumental variable estimation of error-components models
Manuel Arellano,Olympia Bover +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a framework for efficient IV estimators of random effects models with information in levels which can accommodate predetermined variables is presented. But the authors do not consider models with predetermined variables that have constant correlation with the effects.

How to do xtabond2: An introduction to difference and system GMM in Stata
TL;DR: This paper introduced linear generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators for situations with small T, large N panels, with independent variables that are not strictly exogenous, meaning correlated with past and possibly current realizations of the error; with fixed effects; and with heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation within individuals.

Understanding Interaction Models: Improving Empirical Analyses
TL;DR: A survey of the top three political science journals from 1998 to 2002 suggests that the execution of these models is often flawed and inferential errors are common as discussed by the authors, and that scholars follow the simple checklist of dos and don'ts for using multiplicative interaction models presented in this article.
