Dear all,
I'm on my PhD research and I need expert opinion on the appropriate methodology to adopt. Here's my research briefs:
Focus: Income inequality (using Solt, 2014 Gini dataset)
Topic: Financial Reforms, Credit Growth and Income Inequality in Selected African Countries
Scope: 3 SSA countries (2000 - 2013 = 14years)
Conceptual Framework: Financial reforms leads to increase in domestic credit; and increase in domestic credit leads to a fall in income inequality, ceteris paribus.
Estimation technique: No idea?. Using GMM will be inappropriate since N
Hi,
I think you can use from "Historical-Comparative Method" for your dissertation if you want to compare those three countries historically.
Hi, Bayani thanks for your response. But it's an empirical research and I need a method of estimation. Comparative historical analysis will be incorporated but I need a technique. Considering that the number of groups (ie countries) is 3 and my time span is 14, I'm not sure if using GMM will be appropriate.
Also, my analytical framework is patterned after a transmission mechanism so I'm thinking if using a 'Simultaneous Equation' method is okay.
Thanks again for your contribution.
