Testing for serial correlation in linear panel-data models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Because serial correlation in linear panel-data models biases the standard errors and causes the results to be less efficient, researchers need to identify serial correlation in the idiosyncratic error term in a panel-data model. A new test for serial correlation in randomor fixed-effects one-way models derived by Wooldridge (2002) is attractive because it can be applied under general conditions and is easy to implement. This paper presents simulation evidence that the new Wooldridge test has good size and power properties in reasonably sized samples.

Spatial Correlation Testing for Errors in Panel Data Regression Model
To investigate the spatial error correlation in panel regression models, various statistical hypothesizes and testings have been proposed. This paper, within introduction to spatial panel data regression model, existence of spatial error correlation and random effects is investigated by a joint Lagrange Multiplier test, which simultaneously tests their existence. For this purpose, joint Lagrang...
متن کاملTesting Cross-Sectional Correlation in Large Panel Data Models with Serial Correlation
This paper considers the problem of testing cross-sectional correlation in large panel data models with serially-correlated errors. It finds that existing tests for cross-sectional correlation encounter size distortions with serial correlation in the errors. To control the size, this paper proposes a modification of Pesaran’s Cross-sectional Dependence (CD) test to account for serial correlatio...
متن کاملDeterminants of Inflation in Selected Countries
This paper focuses on developing models to study influential factors on the inflation rate for a panel of available countries in the World Bank data base during 2008-2012. For this purpose, Random effect log-linear and Ordinal logistic models are used for the analysis of continuous and categorical inflation rate variables. As the original inflation rate response to variables shows an appar...
متن کاملTesting Serial Correlation in Fixed Effects Regression Models: the Ljung-Box Test for Panel Data
Testing the presence of serial correlation in the error terms of a fixed effects regression model is important for many reasons. While there have been a number of testing procedures developed so far (see, e.g., Bhargava, Franzini and Narendranathan (1982), Baltagi and Li (1995), Baltagi and Wu (1999), Bera et al. (2001), Wooldridge (2002), Drukker (2003), Hong and Kao (2004) and Inoue and Solon...
متن کاملEstimation of Linear Models with Anonymised Panel Data∗
We analyse the effect of the anonymisation method multiplicative stochastic noise on the within estimation of a linear panel model. In particular, we concentrate on the panel model with serially correlated regressors. In addition to anonymisation as such, the serial correlation in a data set with only few points in time increases the bias of the within estimator and therefore must be taken into...
