Abstract: prodest is a new and comprehensive Stata module for production function estimation based on the control function approach. It includes Olley-Pakes (OP), Levinshon-Petrin (LP), Wooldridge (WRDG) and Ackerberg-Caves-Frazer (ACF) estimation techniques, plus a brand new methodology (Mollisi-Rovigatti, MR) in order to better deal with short panels. Its basic usage is similar to that of existing modules like opreg or levpet, but adds many features to control the optimization procedures and address estimation issues - gross output vs. value added, endogenous variables, attrition in the data.
