Estimation of Structural Parameters and Marginal Effects in Binary Choice Panel Data Models with Fixed Effects
Fixed effects estimates of structural parameters in nonlinear panel models can be severely biased due to the incidental parameters problem. In this paper I show that the most important component of this incidental parameters bias for probit fixed effects estimators of index coefficients is proportional to the true parameter value, using a large-T expansion of the bias. This result allows me to ...
متن کاملIdentification in Discrete Choice Models with Fixed Effects
This paper deals with issues of identification in parametric discrete choice panel data models with fixed effects when the number of time periods is fixed. I show that, under fairly general conditions, the common parameters in a model of discrete probabilities containing a nonparametric “fixed effect” will be non-identified unless the parametric probability distribution obeys a hyperplane restr...
متن کاملBounds on Parameters in Panel Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
Identification of dynamic nonlinear panel data models is an important and delicate problem in econometrics. In this paper we provide insights that shed light on the identification of parameters of some commonly used models. Using this insight, we are able to show through simple calculations that point identification often fails in these models. On the other hand, these calculations also suggest...
متن کاملMedian-based estimation of dynamic panel models with fixed effects
We propose outlier-robust estimators for linear dynamic fixed effects panel data models where the number of observations,N , is large and the number of time periods, T , is small. In the simple setting of estimating the AR(1) coefficient from stationary Gaussian panel data, the estimator is (a linear transformation of) the median ratio of adjacent first-differenced data pairs. Its influence fun...
متن کاملBias Reduction for Dynamic Nonlinear Panel Models with Fixed Effects
The fixed effects estimator of panel models can be severely biased because of the well-known incidental parameter problems. It is shown that such bias can be reduced as T grows with n. We consider asymptotics where n and T grow at the same rate as an approximation that allows us to compare bias properties. Under these asymptotics the bias corrected estimators are centered at the truth, whereas ...
