It is well known that the usual procedures for estimating panel data models
are inconsistent in the dynamic setting. A large number of consistent
estimators however, have been proposed in the literature. This paper
provides a survey of the majority of mainstream estimators, which tend to
consist of IV and GMM ones. It also considers a newly proposed extension to
the promising Wansbeek-Bekker estimator (Harris & Mátyás, 2000). To provide
guidance to the applied researcher working on micro-datasets, the small
sample performance of these estimators is evaluated using a set of Monte
Carlo experiments.
