Book Essays on Dynamic Panel Threshold Models

Download or read book Essays on Dynamic Panel Threshold Models written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1. Hansen (1999) introduced threshold estimation in non-dynamic panel threshold models. In this chapter we extend this previous work to allow dynamics in a panel data threshold model with individual fixed specific effects covering short time periods. We propose a maximum likelihood approach to estimate the structural parameters using a first difference transformation of a Dynamic Panel Threshold Model. We show the Maximum Likelihood estimation of the threshold parameter is consistent and converges to a double-sided standard Brownian motion distribution as in Hansen (2000), when the number of individuals grows to infinity for a fixed time period; and the Maximum Likelihood estimation of the slope parameters are consistent and converge to a normal distribution. Chapter 2. The super-neutrality of money hypothesis states that nominal variables do not affect real variables in the long-run. Nonetheless, Fischer (1993) found a negative relationship between inflation and economic growth, but Bruno and Easterly (1998) suggest that relationship is only present with high inflation periods. In this chapter we estimate a threshold level of inflation, above which inflation significantly slows growth; we estimate a dynamic panel threshold model. Using a sample of 72 countries and 8 periods of 5-year averages from 1961 to 2000, we found a threshold level of inflation at 13 percent, where inflation above this threshold has a negative effect on economic growth. In a model with a double threshold, we found two threshold levels of inflation at 13 and 39-42 percent, where that negative effect is stronger for inflation above 39-42 percent.

Book Maximum Likelihood and GMM Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models with Fixed Effects

Download or read book Maximum Likelihood and GMM Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models with Fixed Effects written by Hugo Kruiniger and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers inference procedures for two types of dynamic linear panel data models with fixed effects (FE). First, it shows that the closures of stationary ARMAFE models can be consistently estimated by Conditional Maximum Likelihood Estimators and it derives their asymptotic distributions. Then it presents an asymptotically equivalent Minimum Distance Estimator which permits an analytic comparison between the CMLE for the ARFE (1) model and the GMM estimators that have been considered in the literature. The CMLE is shown to be asymptotically less efficient than the most efficient GMM estimator when N approaches the limit infinity but T is fixed. Under normality some of the moment conditions become asymptotically redundant and the CMLE attains the Cramer-Rao lowerbound when T approaches the limit infinity as well. The paper also presents likelihood based unit root tests. Finally, the properties of CML, GMM, and Modified ML estimators for dynamic panel data models that condition on the initial observations are studied and compared. It is shown that for finite T the MMLE is less efficient than the most efficient GMM estimator.

Book Maximum Likelihood Estimation with Stata  Fourth Edition

Download or read book Maximum Likelihood Estimation with Stata Fourth Edition written by William Gould and published by Stata Press. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maximum Likelihood Estimation with Stata, Fourth Edition is written for researchers in all disciplines who need to compute maximum likelihood estimators that are not available as prepackaged routines. Readers are presumed to be familiar with Stata, but no special programming skills are assumed except in the last few chapters, which detail how to add a new estimation command to Stata. The book begins with an introduction to the theory of maximum likelihood estimation with particular attention on the practical implications for applied work. Individual chapters then describe in detail each of the four types of likelihood evaluator programs and provide numerous examples, such as logit and probit regression, Weibull regression, random-effects linear regression, and the Cox proportional hazards model. Later chapters and appendixes provide additional details about the ml command, provide checklists to follow when writing evaluators, and show how to write your own estimation commands.

Book Fixed Effects Regression Methods for Longitudinal Data Using SAS

Download or read book Fixed Effects Regression Methods for Longitudinal Data Using SAS written by Paul D. Allison and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fixed Effects Regression Methods for Longitudinal Data Using SAS, written by Paul Allison, is an invaluable resource for all researchers interested in adding fixed effects regression methods to their tool kit of statistical techniques. First introduced by economists, fixed effects methods are gaining widespread use throughout the social sciences. Designed to eliminate major biases from regression models with multiple observations (usually longitudinal) for each subject (usually a person), fixed effects methods essentially offer control for all stable characteristics of the subjects, even characteristics that are difficult or impossible to measure. This straightforward and thorough text shows you how to estimate fixed effects models with several SAS procedures that are appropriate for different kinds of outcome variables. The theoretical background of each model is explained, and the models are then illustrated with detailed examples using real data. The book contains thorough discussions of the following uses of SAS procedures: PROC GLM for estimating fixed effects linear models for quantitative outcomes, PROC LOGISTIC for estimating fixed effects logistic regression models, PROC PHREG for estimating fixed effects Cox regression models for repeated event data, PROC GENMOD for estimating fixed effects Poisson regression models for count data, and PROC CALIS for estimating fixed effects structural equation models. To gain the most benefit from this book, readers should be familiar with multiple linear regression, have practical experience using multiple regression on real data, and be comfortable interpreting the output from a regression analysis. An understanding of logistic regression and Poisson regression is a plus. Some experience with SAS is helpful, but not required.

Book A Summary of Some Estimators of Dynamic Panel Data Models and Their Applications

Download or read book A Summary of Some Estimators of Dynamic Panel Data Models and Their Applications written by Zhen Ma and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis consists of two chapters. Chapter one summarizes three estimators of dynamic panel data models: Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) with fixed effects, Wooldridge Conditional Maximum Likelihood (CML) with random effects and a Maximum Simulated Likelihood (MSL) random effects dynamic probit. Chapter two presents their applications and empirical findings. I examine the impact of the large price increases in cigarettes after the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA) on drinking behavior using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). Alcohol consumption, drinking participation and heavy drinking participation (three or more drinks per day) are considered for the full sample, as well as for sub-samples stratified by age group and gender. Estimation results are relatively stable across estimators. I find that the cross-price effects of cigarettes on alcohol consumption are insignificant showing that averaging on all consumption levels, the number of drinks consumed per day is not affected by the increases in cigarette prices; and that the cross-price effects of cigarettes on drinking participation are mostly positive and significant, indicating drinking is an economic substitute for smoking; also, cigarette prices do not affect heavy drinking prevalence.

Book On Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models

Download or read book On Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Dynamic Panel Data Models written by Maurice J. G. Bun and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyse the finite sample properties of maximum likelihood estimators for dynamic panel data models. In particular, we consider transformed maximum likelihood (TML) and random effects maximum likelihood (RML) estimation. We show that TML and RML estimators are solutions to a cubic first-order condition in the autoregressive parameter. Furthermore, in finite samples both likelihood estimators might lead to a negative estimate of the variance of the individual-specific effects. We consider different approaches taking into account the non-negativity restriction for the variance. We show that these approaches may lead to a solution different from the unique global unconstrained maximum. In an extensive Monte Carlo study we find that this issue is non-negligible for small values of T and that different approaches might lead to different finite sample properties. Furthermore, we find that the Likelihood Ratio statistic provides size control in small samples, albeit with low power due to the flatness of the log-likelihood function. We illustrate these issues modelling US state level unemployment dynamics.
