10
Panel Data Analysis

• Between Estimator
• If ,then the pooled or
  population-averaged model is more efficient.

11
Panel Data Analysis

• Linear Pooled (Constant Effects) Model

12
Pooled Regression Model

• Classical Assumptions
• Strict Exogeneity
• Homoschedasticity
• No cross section and time series correlation

13
Pooled Regression Model

• Extensions
• Weak Exogeneity
• Heteroschedasticity

14
Pooled Regression Model

• Extensions
• Time Series Correlation (with cross section
  independence for short panels)

15
Pooled Regression Model

• Extensions
• Cross Section Correlation (with time series
  independence for long panels)

16
Pooled Regression Model

• Extensions
• Cross Section and Time Series Correlation

17
Alternative Pool Regression Models

• Between (Group Means) Estimator
• First-Difference Estimator
• Within (Group Mean Deviations) Estimator

18
Pooled Regression OLS

• Classical Model Estimation (OLS)
• Variance estimator is inconsistent
  because of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation.

19
Pooled Regression OLS

• Panel-Robust Variance-Covariance Matrix
• Adjusting general heteroscedasticity and serial
  correlation within panel

20
Pooled Regression GLS

• The Model
• Generalized Least Squares (GLS)
• If cross sections are independent (short panels)
• where is the consistent estimator of

21
Pooled Regression GLS

• Heteroscedasticity
• Cross Section Correlation
• Time Series Correlation

22
Pooled Regression GLS

• Examples of Time Series Correlation
• Equal-Correlation
• AR(1)
• Stationary(1)
• Nonstationary(1)

23
Model Extensions

• Time-invariant regressors
• Random regressors
• Lagged dependent variables
• Dynamic models

  IBM t 20 years 1935-1954
• Iit Gross investment
• Fit Market value
• Cit Value of the stock of plant and equipment
