Book Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data  second edition

Download or read book Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data second edition written by Jeffrey M. Wooldridge and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 1095 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of a comprehensive state-of-the-art graduate level text on microeconometric methods, substantially revised and updated. The second edition of this acclaimed graduate text provides a unified treatment of two methods used in contemporary econometric research, cross section and data panel methods. By focusing on assumptions that can be given behavioral content, the book maintains an appropriate level of rigor while emphasizing intuitive thinking. The analysis covers both linear and nonlinear models, including models with dynamics and/or individual heterogeneity. In addition to general estimation frameworks (particular methods of moments and maximum likelihood), specific linear and nonlinear methods are covered in detail, including probit and logit models and their multivariate, Tobit models, models for count data, censored and missing data schemes, causal (or treatment) effects, and duration analysis. Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data was the first graduate econometrics text to focus on microeconomic data structures, allowing assumptions to be separated into population and sampling assumptions. This second edition has been substantially updated and revised. Improvements include a broader class of models for missing data problems; more detailed treatment of cluster problems, an important topic for empirical researchers; expanded discussion of "generalized instrumental variables" (GIV) estimation; new coverage (based on the author's own recent research) of inverse probability weighting; a more complete framework for estimating treatment effects with panel data, and a firmly established link between econometric approaches to nonlinear panel data and the "generalized estimating equation" literature popular in statistics and other fields. New attention is given to explaining when particular econometric methods can be applied; the goal is not only to tell readers what does work, but why certain "obvious" procedures do not. The numerous included exercises, both theoretical and computer-based, allow the reader to extend methods covered in the text and discover new insights.

Book Three Essays on Panel Data Analysis

Download or read book Three Essays on Panel Data Analysis written by Minyu Han and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter, Two-Way Fixed Effects versus Panel Factor Augmented Estimators: Asymptotic Comparison among Pre-testing Procedures, provides asymptotic analyses of pretesting procedures when the slope coefficients are heterogeneous across cross-sectional units. Empirical researchers may wonder whether or not a two-way fixed effects estimator (with individual and time fixed effects) is sufficiently sophisticated to isolate the influence of common shocks on the estimation of slope coefficients. If it is not, practitioners need to run the so-called panel factor augmented regression instead. There are two pre-testing procedures available in the literature: the use of the estimated number of factors and the direct test of estimated factor loading coefficients. This chapter compares the two pre-testing methods asymptotically. Under the presence of the heterogeneous factor loadings, both pre-testing procedures suggest using the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) estimator. By comparing asymptotic variances, this chapter finds that when the slope coefficients are heterogeneous with homogeneous factor loadings, the CCE estimation is, surprisingly, more efficient than the two-way fixed effects estimation. The second chapter, A New Test for Slope Homogeneity in a Panel Regression with Interactive Fixed Effects, proposes a new test for slope homogeneity in a panel regression with interactive fixed effects without any restriction on the relative expansion rate of n, the number of cross-sectional units, and T, the number of periods.This test is based on a comparison of the estimated number of common factors from two regression residuals. The first regression is an unconstrained regression with heterogeneous slope parameters. The second regression is a pooled regression based on the principal components mean group method. Under the slope heterogeneity, this chapter shows that the estimated number of common factors from the first regression residuals is asymptotically smaller than that of the second regression residuals. In the third chapter, Identification of Outliers for Testing Weak ϳ-Convergence, the authors suggest three novel procedures for separating the divergent series from a convergent club. Weak ϳ8́2convergence test is designed to detect whether cross-sectional variances of a panel data of interest show consistent diminution over time. When the panel data of interest includes divergent series, the cross-sectional variances become contaminated, which results in a seemingly divergent behavior. This chapter deals with this problem. We propose three novel detection procedures for identifying divergence series and provide the asymptotic justification. Utilizing Monte Carlo simulations, the finite sample properties are examined. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the newly proposed methods by using infant mortality rates in 42 countries. Even though all infant mortality rates have shown a downward trending behavior over time, the cross-sectional variance of log infant mortality rates is diverging over time. By using the proposed sieving methods, we identify six outliers. After excluding these outliers, the rest of the infant mortality rates are weakly ϳ-converging over time. Altogether, this dissertation provides methods for a better understanding of the source and nature of the cross-sectional dependence in panel data models.

Download or read book Microeconometrics written by A. Colin Cameron and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-09 with total page 1058 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the most comprehensive treatment to date of microeconometrics, the analysis of individual-level data on the economic behavior of individuals or firms using regression methods for cross section and panel data. The book is oriented to the practitioner. A basic understanding of the linear regression model with matrix algebra is assumed. The text can be used for a microeconometrics course, typically a second-year economics PhD course; for data-oriented applied microeconometrics field courses; and as a reference work for graduate students and applied researchers who wish to fill in gaps in their toolkit. Distinguishing features of the book include emphasis on nonlinear models and robust inference, simulation-based estimation, and problems of complex survey data. The book makes frequent use of numerical examples based on generated data to illustrate the key models and methods. More substantially, it systematically integrates into the text empirical illustrations based on seven large and exceptionally rich data sets.

This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to fill the gap between panel data econometrics textbooks, and the latest development on 'big data', especially large-dimensional panel data econometrics. It introduces important research questions in large panels, including testing for cross-sectional dependence, estimation of factor-augmented panel data models, structural breaks in panels and group patterns in panels. To tackle these high dimensional issues, some techniques used in Machine Learning approaches are also illustrated. Moreover, the Monte Carlo experiments, and empirical examples are also utilised to show how to implement these new inference methods. Large-Dimensional Panel Data Econometrics: Testing, Estimation and Structural Changes also introduces new research questions and results in recent literature in this field.

Book Nonparametric Tests for Event Studies Under Cross Sectional Dependence

Download or read book Nonparametric Tests for Event Studies Under Cross Sectional Dependence written by Matteo M. Pelagatti and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose three nonparametric tests for the null of no event-induced shifts in the distribution of stock returns. One test is the natural extension of the popular Corrado rank test to the case of cross-sectionally dependent returns, while the other two are based on new ideas. Unfortunately only for one of these tests a solid theory for approximating the distribution of the statistic can be derived, but some simulation experiments confirm that normality is a good approximation also for the other two. The new tests are compared to a widely used parametric test (Patell) through simulation experiments and are shown to compare favorably in terms of power. Simulation results are based on bootstrapping daily stock returns from the S&P100 and NASDAQ indexes.
