In econometrics, the Arellano–Bond estimator is a generalized method of moments estimator used to estimate dynamic models of panel data.It was proposed in 1991 by Manuel Arellano and Stephen Bond, [1] based on the earlier work by Alok Bhargava and John Denis Sargan in 1983, for addressing certain endogeneity problems. [2]
In econometrics and statistics, the generalized method of moments (GMM) is a generic method for estimating parameters in statistical models.Usually it is applied in the context of semiparametric models, where the parameter of interest is finite-dimensional, whereas the full shape of the data's distribution function may not be known, and therefore maximum likelihood estimation is not applicable.
To estimate parameters of a conditional moment model, the statistician can derive an expectation function (defining "moment conditions") and use the generalized method of moments (GMM). However, there are infinitely many moment conditions that can be generated from a single model; optimal instruments provide the most efficient moment conditions.
In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters.The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of the parameters of interest.

In statistics, the method of estimating equations is a way of specifying how the parameters of a statistical model should be estimated. This can be thought of as a generalisation of many classical methods—the method of moments , least squares , and maximum likelihood —as well as some recent methods like M-estimators .

Generally, the first k moments are taken because the errors due to sampling increase with the order of the moment. Thus, we get k equations μ r (θ 1, θ 2,…, θ k) = m r, r = 1, 2, …, k. Solving these equations we get the method of moment estimators (or estimates) as m r = 1/n ΣX i r. [2] See also generalized method of moments.
