Nonparametric estimation and testing of fixed effects panel data models.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we consider the problem of estimating nonparametric panel data models with fixed effects. We introduce an iterative nonparametric kernel estimator. We also extend the estimation method to the case of a semiparametric partially linear fixed effects model. To determine whether a parametric, semiparametric or nonparametric model is appropriate, we propose test statistics to test between the three alternatives in practice. We further propose a test statistic for testing the null hypothesis of random effects against fixed effects in a nonparametric panel data regression model. Simulations are used to examine the finite sample performance of the proposed estimators and the test statistics.

Nonparametric Estimation of Dynamic Panel Models with Fixed Effects
This paper considers nonparametric estimation of autoregressive panel data models with fixed effects. A within-group type series estimator is developed and its convergence rate and asymptotic normality are derived. It is found that the series estimator is asymptotically biased and the bias could reduce the mean-square convergence rate compared with the cross section cases. A bias corrected nonp...
متن کاملNonparametric Dynamic Panel Data Models with Interactive Fixed Effects: Sieve Estimation and Specification Testing
In this paper we analyze nonparametric dynamic panel data models with interactive fixed effects, where the predetermined regressors enter the models nonparametrically and the common factors enter the models linearly but with individual specific factor loadings. We consider the issues of estimation and specification testing when both the cross-sectional dimension and the time dimension are l...

We consider consistent estimation of partially linear panel data models with fixed effects. We propose profile-likelihood-based estimators for both the parametric and nonparametric components in the models and establish convergence rates and asymptotic normality for both estimators.
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of the Marginal Effect in Fixed-Effect Panel Data Models: An Application on the Environmental Kuznets Curve∗
This paper considers nonparametric estimation of panel data models using local linear least squares when fixed effects present. The local marginal effect is of the main interest. A withingroup type nonparametric estimator is developed, where the fixed effects are eliminated by subtracting individual specific locally weighted time average (i.e., using the local within transformation). It is show...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression Estimation under Kernel Polynomial Model for Unstructured Data
The nonparametric estimation(NE) of kernel polynomial regression (KPR) model is a powerful tool to visually depict the effect of covariates on response variable, when there exist unstructured and heterogeneous data. In this paper we introduce KPR model that is the mixture of nonparametric regression models with bootstrap algorithm, which is considered in a heterogeneous and unstructured framewo...
