【内容摘要】
We study an iterated bias-correction method for estimating average effects in nonlinear panel-data models with fixed effects. The procedure, termed approximate functional differencing, generates a sequence of bias-corrected estimators that can be iterated arbitrarily many times, including a well-defined limit as the number of iterations grows to infinity. We show that this infinitely iterated estimator can have a remarkably small bias: its asymptotic bias decreases at an exponential rate in the time dimension T. We characterize its large-sample properties and provide sufficient conditions under which the limiting estimator is asymptotically unbiased. Extensive simulations reveal that the iterated corrections deliver substantial finite-sample gains.
