RE: AW: st: RE: Lagged dependent variable with fixed effects regression

[Erhan Kilincarslan <erhan_kilincarslan@msn.com>]

Thanks, Jan. I have around 850 fims with data from 2001-2011. So, T is 11 years. Even in fixed effects specifcation, as first year is omiited, T = 10 years. Hence, in this case, you are saying I would definitily get problems with endogenity??? if it is the case, should I use RE specification instead to report my results? 
p.s. Can you please recommend me a book/books explaining endogenity problems related to lagged dependent variable and fixed effects?? Because, I couldnt find any
 
Regards
 
Erhan

Howeever, when I run OLS pooled , FE and RE regressions, OLS and RE give similar results, FE gives similar but a bit different with very low coeeficients. I wonder it is because the lagged dependent variable in the model? Hausman test indicates FE rules over RE and B/P Lagrange test indicates RE rules over OLS. So, in this case should I go for RE? Is including Lagged dependent variable in FE is not appropriate in FE?
