Here we consider a popular application of EFs called generalized estimating equations (GEE).

Geddes (1997) studies panel data on regulated electric utilities with exclusive geographic franchises, and the turnover of the chief executive o cer (CEO) on the job. Our GEE estimates reverse his somewhat counterintuitive result that rm performance variables do not a ect the turnover of the CEO.
