+
+    **Variables:**
+    - `firm` : Firm identifier (1-10)
+    - `year` : Year (1935-1954)
+    - `invest` : Gross investment (millions of dollars)
+    - `value` : Market value of the firm (millions of dollars)

+    **Sample Size:**
+    - Entities (N): 10 firms
+    - Time periods (T): 20 years
+    - Total observations: 200
+
+    **Panel Structure:**
+    - Balanced panel (all firms observed in all years)
+
+    **Common Uses:**
+    - Fixed effects estimation
+    - Between vs. within variation
+    - Dynamic panel models
+
+    **Citation:**
+    Grunfeld, Y. (1958). The determinants of corporate investment.

+        Compute A'B handling NaN values properly for sparse GMM instruments.
+
+        For GMM-style instruments, NaN indicates instrument not available.
+        Each element (i,j) of A'B is computed as sum over observations where
+        BOTH A[:,i] and B[:,j] are non-NaN.
+
+        This is the CORRECT approach for GMM with sparse instruments, as each

+        is actually available.
