“…However, most of these works are for some specific estimators and there is little with the dependent observations for nonlinear cases, although see Cordeiro and Klein (1994) and Linton (1997).

We develop the analytical results on the second-order bias and mean squared error (MSE) of estimators in time series. These results provide a unified approach to developing the properties of a large class of estimators in the linear and nonlinear time series models and they are valid for both the normal and non-normal sample of observations, and where the regressors are stochastic. The estimators included are the generalized method of moments, maximum likelihood, least squares, and other extremum estimators. Our general results are applied to a wide variety of econometric models. Numerical results for some of these models are presented.

“…Koenker et al (1994) and Rilstone, Srivastava, and Ullah (1996) give some higher order variance and bias calculations for special cases of GMM. Corcoran (1998) showed that in a class of minimum discrepancy estimators, EL has the only objective function that is Bartlett correctable.…”

In an effort to improve the small sample properties of generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators, a number of alternative estimators have been suggested. These include empirical likelihood (EL), continuous updating, and exponential tilting estimators. We show that these estimators share a common structure, being members of a class of generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) estimators. We use this structure to compare their higher order asymptotic properties. We find that GEL has no asymptotic bias due to correlation of the moment functions with their Jacobian, eliminating an important source of bias for GMM in models with endogeneity. We also find that EL has no asymptotic bias from estimating the optimal weight matrix, eliminating a further important source of bias for GMM in panel data models. We give bias corrected GMM and GEL estimators. We also show that bias corrected EL inherits the higher order property of maximum likelihood, that it is higher order asymptotically efficient relative to the other bias corrected estimators.JEL Classification: C13, C30

SUMMARYThis paper estimates a dynamic ordered probit model of self-assessed health with two fixed effects: one in the linear index equation and one in the cut-points. This robustly controls for heterogeneity in unobserved health status and in reporting behavior, although we cannot separate both sources of heterogeneity. We find important state dependence effects, and small but significant effects of income and other socioeconomic variables. Having dynamics and flexibly accounting for unobserved heterogeneity matters for those estimates. We also contribute to the bias correction literature in nonlinear panel models by comparing and applying two of the existing proposals to our model.
