On estimation of two-dimensional dynamic panel model with confounders

Abstract

In this paper, motivated by a real data example about borderline overian tumors, we study a two-dimension dynamic panel models with confounding individual effect for modeling binary panel data. We propose using the maximum likelihood estimation method to estimate the model parameters. The properties of the maximum likelihood estimators are studied. The performance of the proposed estimation method is studied by using a Monte Carlo simulation study. The proposed model and estimation methods are illustrated by the real data example.
