On Testing Overidentifying Restrictions in Dynamic Panel Data Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The conventional Sargan (1958) / Hansen (1982) test of overidentifying restrictions and the Tilting Parameter test of Imbens, Spady and Johnson (1998) are compared in the context of the AR(1) dynamic panel data model using Monte Carlo experiments. Interestingly, the size properties of the former are found to be superior in this setting. Nevertheless, the Sargan / Hansen test is found to have no power in panels of dimensions that are commonly encountered in empirical work. A simple procedure for reducing the number of moment conditions tested is shown to improve both the size and power properties of the conventional test. A useful diagnostic procedure is also suggested. JEL Classification: C23; C12.

Testing Overidentifying Restrictions with Many Instruments and Heteroskedasticity∗
This paper gives a test of overidentifying restrictions that is robust to many instruments and heteroskedasticity. It is based on a jackknife version of the overidentifying test statistic. Correct asymptotic critical values are derived for this statistic when the number of instruments grows large, at a rate up to the sample size. It is also shown that the test is valid when the number instrumen...
متن کاملHeuristic Optimization Methods for Dynamic Panel
Innovations, be they radical new products or technology improvements are widely recognized as a key factor of economic growth. To identify the factors triggering innovative activities is a main concern for economic theory and empirical analysis. As the number of hypotheses is large, the process of model selection becomes a crucial part of the empirical implementation. The problem is complicated...
متن کاملIdentification of Dynamic Economic Models from Reduced Form VECM Structures: An Application of Covariance Restrictions
This analysis is a straightforward implementation of both long-run and short-run identifying or overidentifying restrictions on a vector error correction model in the “structural VAR” framework. The framework utilizes covariance restrictions, long-run multiplier restrictions, error correction coefficient restrictions, and restrictions on slope coefficients of the stimultaneous interactions in t...
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...
متن کاملTesting for Autocorrelation in Dynamic Random Effects Models
This article develops tests of covariance restrictions after estimating by three-stage least squares a dynamic random effects model from panel data. The asymptotic distribution of covariance matrix estimates under non-normality is obtained. It is shown how minimum chi-square tests for interesting covariance restrictions can be calculated from a generalised linear regression involving the sample...
