内容简介：
This paper proposes the Fixed-Effects Filtered (FEF) and Fixed-Effects Filtered instrumental variable (FEF-IV) estimators for estimating of time-invariant effects in static panel data models when N is large and T is fixed. It is shown that the FEF and FEF-IV estimators are -consistent, and asymptotically normally distributed. The FEF estimator is compared with the FEVD estimator proposed by Plumper and Troeger (2007) and conditions under which the two estimators are equivalent are established. It is also shown that the variance estimator proposed for FEVD estimator is inconsistent and its use could lead to misleading inference. Alternative variance estimators are proposed for both FEF and FEF-IV estimators which are shown to be consistent under fairly general regularity conditions. The FEF-IV estimator is also compared to the estimator proposed by Hausman and Taylor (1981). The theoretical results are illustrated by Monte Carlo experiments which show that the FEF estimators perform well in terms of bias, RMSE as well as size.
