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.

Download or read book Panel Data Econometrics written by Manuel Arellano and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, by one of the world's leading experts on dynamic panel data, presents a modern review of some of the main topics in panel data econometrics. The author concentrates on linear models, and emphasizes the roles of heterogeneity and dynamics in panel data modelling. The book combines methods and applications, so will appeal to both the academic and practitioner markets. The book is divided in four parts. Part I concerns static models, and deals with the problem of unobserved heterogeneity and how the availability of panel data helps to solve it, error component models, and error in variables in panel data. Part II looks at time series models with error components. Its chapters deal with the problem of distinguishing between unobserved heterogeneity and individual dynamics in short panels, modelling strategies of time effects, moving average models, inference from covariance structures, the specification and estimation of autoregressive models with heterogeneous intercepts, and the impact of assumptions about initial conditions and heteroskedacity on estimation. Part III examines dynamics and predeterminedness. Its two chapters consider alternative approaches to estimation from small and large T perspectives, looking at models with both strictly exogenous and lagged dependent variables allowing for autocorrelation of unknown form, models in which the errors are mean independent of current and lagged values of certain conditioning variables but not with their future values. Together Parts II and III provide a synthesis, and unified perspective, of a vast literature that has had a significant impact on recent econometric practice. Part IV reviews the main results in the theory of generalized method of moments estimation and optimal instrumental variables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1: Efficient Estimation with Missing Data and EndogeneityI study the problem of missing values in both the outcome and the covariates in linear models with endogenous covariates. I propose an estimator that improves efficiency relative to a Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS) based only on the complete cases. My framework also unifies the literature on missing data and combining data sets, and includes the "Two-Sample 2SLS" as a special case. The method is an extension of Abrevaya and Donald (2017), who provide methods of improving efficiency over complete cases estimators in linear models with cross-section data and missing covariates. I also provide guidance on dealing with missing values in the instruments and in commonly used nonlinear functions of the endogenous covariates, likes squares and interactions, without introducing inconsistency in the estimates.Chapter 2: Imputing Missing Covariate Values in Nonlinear ModelsI study the problem of missing covariate values in nonlinear models with continuous or discrete covariates. In order to use the information in the incomplete cases, I propose an inverse probability weighted one-step imputation estimator that provides gains in efficiency relative to the complete cases estimator using a reduced form for the outcome in terms of the always-observed covariates. Unlike the two-step imputation and dummy variable methods commonly used in empirical work ,my estimator is consistent for a wide class of nonlinear models. It relies only on the commonly used "missing at random" assumption, and provides a specification test for the resulting restrictions. I show how the results apply to nonlinear models for fractional and nonnegative responses.Chapter 3: Efficient Estimation of Linear Panel Data Models with Missing CovariatesWe study the problem of missing covariates in the context of linear, unobserved effects panel data models. In order to use information on incomplete cases, we propose generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation. By using information on the incomplete cases from all time periods, the proposed estimators provide gains in efficiency relative to the fixed effects (and Mundlak) estimator that use only the complete cases. The method is an extension of Abrevaya and Donald(2017), who consider a linear model with cross-sectional data and incorporate the linear imputation method in the set of moment conditions to obtain gains in efficiency. Our first proposed estimator uses the assumption of strict exogeneity of the covariates as well as the selection, while allowing the selection to be correlated with the observed covariates and unobserved heterogeneity in both the outcome equation and the imputation equation. We also consider the case in which the covariates are only sequentially exogenous and propose an estimator based on the method of forward orthogonal deviations introduced by Arellano and Bover (1995). Our framework suggests a simple test for whether selection is correlated with unobserved shocks, both contemporaneous and those in other time periods.

Download or read book Two Step Estimation of Panel Data Models with Censored Endogenous Variables and Selection Bias written by Francis Vella and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents some two-step estimators for a wide range of parametric panel data models with censored endogenous variables and sample selection bias. Our approach is to derive estimates of the unobserved heterogeneity responsible for the endogeneity/selection bias to include as additional explanatory variables in the primary equation. These are obtained through a decomposition of the reduced form residuals. The panel nature of the data allows adjustment, and testing, for two forms of endogeneity and/or sample selection bias. Furthermore, it incorporates roles for dynamics and state dependence in the reduced form. Finally, we provide an empirical illustration which features our procedure and highlights the ability to test several of the underlying assumptions.

This book was released on 2024-01-03 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of 20 chapters on chosen topics from cross-section and panel data econometrics. It explores both theoretical and practical aspects of selected cutting-edge techniques which are gaining popularity among applied econometricians, while following the motto of “keeping things simple”. Each chapter gives a basic introduction to one such method, directs readers to supplementary references, and shows an application. The book takes into account that—A: The field of econometrics is evolving very fast and leading textbooks are trying to cover some of the recent developments in revised editions. This book offers basic introduction to state-of-the-art techniques and recent advances in econometric models with detailed applications from various developing and developed countries. B: An applied researcher or practitioner may prefer reference books with a simple introduction to an advanced econometric method or model with no theorems but with a longer discussion on empirical application. Thus, an applied econometrics textbook covering these cutting-edge methods is highly warranted; a void this book attempts to fills.The book does not aim at providing a comprehensive coverage of econometric methods. The 20 chapters in this book represent only a sample of the important topics in modern econometrics, with special focus on econometrics of cross-section and panel data, while also recognizing that it is not possible to accommodate all types of models and methods even in these two categories. The book is unique as authors have also provided the theoretical background (if any) and brief literature review behind the empirical applications. It is a must-have resource for students and practitioners of modern econometrics.

Download or read book Functional Form and Heterogeneity in Models for Count Data written by William Greene and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2007 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents several extensions of the most familiar models for count data, the Poisson and negative binomial models. We develop an encompassing model for two well-known variants of the negative binomial model (the NB1 and NB2 forms). We then analyze some alternative approaches to the standard log gamma model for introducing heterogeneity into the loglinear conditional means for these models. The lognormal model provides a versatile alternative specification that is more flexible (and more natural) than the log gamma form, and provides a platform for several "two part" extensions, including zero inflation, hurdle, and sample selection models. (We briefly present some alternative approaches to modeling heterogeneity.) We also resolve some features in Hausman, Hall and Griliches (1984, Economic models for count data with an application to the patents-R & D relationship, Econometrica 52, 909-938) widely used panel data treatments for the Poisson and negative binomial models that appear to conflict with more familiar models of fixed and random effects. Finally, we consider a bivariate Poisson model that is also based on the lognormal heterogeneity model. Two recent applications have used this model. We suggest that the correlation estimated in their model frameworks is an ambiguous measure of the correlation of the variables of interest, and may substantially overstate it. We conclude with a detailed application of the proposed methods using the data employed in one of the two aforementioned bivariate Poisson studies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the development and application of new estimation methods of heterogenous panel data models.?In Paper I, a new estimator for heterogeneous panel data models with random interactive effects is proposed. The heterogeneity in this paper is viewed as heterogeneity over time, which is modeled by having the slope coefficients exhibit multiple structural breaks. The suggested estimator is suitable when the number of time periods, T, is fixed, and only the number of cross-sectional units, N, is large. To estimate the multiple structural breaks, I suggest minimizing a penalized objective function that induces structural breaks.?In Paper II, I discuss the estimation of what I call "Coefficient-by-Coefficient" breaks. Existing econometric methods take an all-or-nothing approach when estimating structural breaks, in the sense that either all parameters shift together or not. However, we typically do not know which parameters are shifting and when. To address this, I suggest a penalized estimator that allows for the estimation of breaks in each component of the slope vector, providing further insight into what is breaking and when. In the same paper, I propose two estimators: one that accounts for homogeneous breaks and one for heterogeneous breaks. Heterogeneous breaks are breaks that vary across different groups. Hence, the considered heterogeneity is very general in the sense that the slope coefficient changes over time, but also over cross-sectional units.?Paper III is concerned with the robustness of pooled estimators to random breaks in panel data models. The main point of this paper is to showcase that the least square estimator is not necessarily consistent under random breakpoints.?In Paper IV we discuss the CCE estimator of Pesaran (2006). In this paper, we show that this estimator is more useful than commonly appreciated, in that it enables consistent and asymptotically normal estimation of interactive effects models with heterogeneous slope coefficients when only the number of cross-sectional units, N, is large.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we study semiparametric estimation for a single index panel data model where the nonlinear link function varies among the individuals. We propose using the so called refined minimum average variance estimation based on a local linear smoothing method to estimate both the parameters in the single index and the average link function. As the cross section dimension N and the time series dimension T tend to infinity simultaneously, we establish asymptotic distributions for the proposed parametric and nonparametric estimates. In addition, we provide two real data examples to illustrate the finite sample behavior of the proposed estimation method in this paper.

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.
