Growth

Panel of Macroeconomic data for 125 countries from 1960 to 1985
constructed by Summers and Heston (1991))

datasets

It is a complete suite to estimate models based on moment
conditions. It includes the two step Generalized method of
moments (Hansen 1982; <doi:10.2307/1912775>), the iterated GMM and continuous
updated estimator (Hansen, Eaton and Yaron 1996; <doi:10.2307/1392442>) and several
methods that belong to the Generalized Empirical Likelihood
family of estimators (Smith 1997; <doi:10.1111/j.0013-0133.1997.174.x>,
Kitamura 1997; <doi:10.1214/aos/1069362388>, Newey and Smith 2004; <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2004.00482.x>,
and Anatolyev 2005 <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2005.00601.x>).
