The figures in parentheses are the 5th and 95th percentiles (95% confidence intervals) computed using Monte Carlo integration and drawing from a normal distribution for the estimated coefficients and a Wishart distribution for the inverse of the estimated error covariance matrix, with 1000 replications.
The ideal will be to start with a higher number of factors, but as we increase this number and, consequently, the number of instrumental variables needed to estimate (4), the error covariance matrix grows proportionally--the number of instruments times the number of periods--which means that it grows quite rapidly, causing problems in inverting [?
GLS and its feasible counterpart are introduced in these contexts, in contrast with the more typical approach of deriving these procedures as solutions to the estimation problem raised by the general linear model with an unrestricted error covariance matrix.
