Abstract
In this article, we discuss generalized method of moments estimation
of the covariance structure of longitudinal data on earnings, and we introduce and
illustrate a Stata program that facilitates the implementation of the generalized
method of moments approach in this context. The program, gmmcovearn, estimates
a variety of models that encompass those most commonly used by labor
economists. These include models where the permanent component of earnings
follows a random growth or random walk process and where the transitory component
can follow either an AR(1) or an ARMA(1,1) process. In addition, time-factor
loadings and cohort-factor loadings may be incorporated in the transitory and
permanent components.
