## Abstract I study a simple, widely applicable approach to handling the initial conditions problem in dynamic, nonlinear unobserved effects models. Rather than attempting to obtain the joint distribution of all outcomes of the endogenous variables, I propose finding the distribution conditional on

This paper investigated the development of hospital cost efficiency and productivity in Finland in 1988 -1994 using a comparative application of parametric and non-parametric panel models. Stochastic cost frontier models with a time-varying inefficiency component were used as parametric methods. As
## Abstract This paper discusses the estimation of a class of nonlinear state space models including nonlinear panel data models with autoregressive error components. A health economics example illustrates the usefulness of such models. For the approximation of the likelihood function, nonlinear fi
