Simple Tests for Exogeneity of a Binary Explanatory Variable in Count Data Regression Models
نویسنده
چکیده
This article investigates power and size of some tests for exogeneity of a binary explanatory variable in count models by conducting extensive Monte Carlo simulations. The tests under consideration are Hausman contrast tests as well as univariate Wald tests, including a new test of notably easy implementation. Performance of the tests is explored under misspecification of the underlying model and under different conditions regarding the instruments. The results indicate that often the tests that are simpler to estimate outperform tests that are more demanding. This is especially the case for the new test. JEL Classification: C12, C25

Multiplicative panel data models without the strict exogeneity assumption
This paper studies estimation of multiplicative, unobserved components panel data models without imposing the strict exogeneity assumption on the explanatory variables. The method of moments estimators proposed have significant robustness properties; they require only a conditional mean assumption, and apply to models with lagged dependent variables, finite distributed lag models that allow arb...

Background & Objectives: Due to the increasing tendency to measure the quality of life in recent years and the extensive quality of life questionnaires, it is important to determine the appropriate method of analyzing data derived from these studies. The aim of the present study was to introduce ordinal logistic regression models as an appropriate method for analyzing the data of quality of li...
متن کاملSpatial Regression in the Presence of Misaligned data
In this paper, four approaches are presented to the problem of fitting a linear regression model in the presence of spatially misaligned data. These approaches are plug-in method, simulation, regression calibration and maximum likelihood. In the first two approaches, with modeling the correlation between the explanatory variable, prediction of explanatory variable is determined at sites...
متن کاملEstimation of Linear Panel Data Models Using Gmm
In this chapter we study GMM estimation of linear panel data models. Several different types of models are considered, including the linear regression model with strictly or weakly exogenous regressors, the simultaneous regression model, and a dynamic linear model containing a lagged dependent variable as a regressor. In each case, different assumptions about the exogeneity of the explanatory v...
متن کاملBayesian Quantile Regression with Adaptive Lasso Penalty for Dynamic Panel Data
Dynamic panel data models include the important part of medicine, social and economic studies. Existence of the lagged dependent variable as an explanatory variable is a sensible trait of these models. The estimation problem of these models arises from the correlation between the lagged depended variable and the current disturbance. Recently, quantile regression to analyze dynamic pa...
