Abstract
Abstract We develop threshold estimation methods for panel data models with two threshold variables and individual fixed specific effects covering short time periods. In the static panel data model, we propose least squares estimation of the threshold and regression slopes using fixed effects transformations; while in the dynamic panel data model, we propose maximum likelihood estimation of the threshold and slope parameters using first difference transformations. In both models, we propose to estimate the threshold parameters sequentially. We apply the methods to a 15-year sample of 565 U.S. firms to test whether financial constraints affect investment decisions.
