Σύνοψη	Fourier system GMM embeds Fourier trigonometric terms into the System GMM estimator of Blundell and Bond (1998) to accommodate smooth, gradual structural breaks in dynamic panel data. By adding sine and cosine components as regressors, the estimator captures unknown, potentially multiple regime shifts without requiring prior knowledge of break dates, while preserving the instrument-based controls for endogeneity and individual fixed effects.	Fourier Arellano-Bond GMM is a dynamic panel estimator that augments the classic Arellano-Bond first-differenced GMM framework with Fourier trigonometric terms to capture smooth, gradual structural breaks in the time dimension. It handles endogeneity through lagged-level instruments while remaining robust to unknown nonlinear trends that standard difference GMM ignores.
