Fixed effects in GMM estimation
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2009 7:23 am
Dear all,
I am having trouble understanding what happens to fixed effects in GMM estimation. To be more precise, using two approaches:
i. equation in differences (IV in levels) - by definition eliminates fixed effects;
ii. equation in levels (IV in differences) - what then with FE? Do I need FE dummy? Is it removed by differencing in IV?
Than You for explanation!
