Description
Common econometric methods for non-linear panel data models, such as the probit or the tobit model, are either difficult to compute or depend critically and in a non robust way on simplifying statistical assumptions, or even both.
The aim of our line of research is to find robust and almost efficient estimators that are still fairly easy to compute. We also considered to include external information in the process of estimation. To derive such types of estimators we developed in most cases some variant of a GMM estimator.
