The aim is to assess specification tests applicable to dynamic models estimated from panel data using GMM.
Estimated a dynamic model from panel data using GMM.
Proposed a test of serial correlation based on GMM residuals.
Compared results with Sargan and Hausman specification tests.
The GMM estimator effectively utilizes linear moment restrictions, enhancing model accuracy.
Proposed serial correlation test showed improved performance relative to traditional tests.
Findings suggest a need for robust specification tests in employment equations.
