Dynamic Panel Method/Arelleno-Bond
Posted: Wed Apr 21, 2010 1:53 pm
Hi all,
I am using Eviews-6 to implement Arellano-Bond (AB) method to estimate a dynamic panel model using dynamic panel wizard. AB estimates are based on the assumption that there should not be second-order serial correlation in the residuals of the first-difference equation. Arellano and Bond (1991) develop a test statistics to test for the serial correlation (m_2 statistics). The dynamic panel wizard in Eviews-6 does not have this test. How do I test for serial correlation in the residuals of the first-difference equation?
Cheers
