Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Spatial Panel Data Regressions
نویسنده
چکیده
This article considers quasi-maximum likelihood estimations (QMLE) for two spatial panel data regression models: mixed effects model with spatial errors and transformed mixed effects model (where response and covariates are transformed) with spatial errors. One aim of transformation is to normalize the data, thus the transformed models are more robust with respect to the normality assumption compared with the standard ones. QMLE method provides additional protection against violation of normality assumption. Asymptotic properties of the QMLEs are investigated. Numerical illustrations are provided. JEL Classification: C21, C23, C51

This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for xed e¤ects SAR panel data models with SAR disturbances where the time periods T and/or the number of spatial units n can be nite or large in all combinations except that both T and n are nite. A direct approach is to estimate all the parameters including xed e¤ects. We propose alternative estimation meth...

This paper considers spatial autoregressive panel data models and extends their analysis to the case where the spatial coefficients differ across the spatial units. It derives conditions under which the spatial coefficients are identified and develops a quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation procedure. Under certain regularity conditions, it is shown that the QML estimators of individual spa...

This paper investigates the asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for spatial dynamic panel data with xed e¤ects when both the number of individuals n and the number of time periods T are large. We consider the case where T is asymptotically large relative to n, the case where T is asymptotically proportional to n, and the case where n is asymptotically large relative to...
متن کاملEstimation of spatial autoregressive panel data models with fixed effects
This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for SAR panel data models with fixed effects and SAR disturbances. A direct approach is to estimate all the parameters including the fixed effects. Because of the incidental parameter problem, some parameter estimatorsmay be inconsistent or their distributions are not properly centered. We propose an alternative...
