Re: Panel Data - Fixed Effects

The R2 is calculated using the difference in the SSR between the full model you estimated and a model with a common intercept only. I'm not certain I understand your question about the LM test, but Gareth's program should compute the right thing. Glenn thank for your answer. I thought that you mean...

Re: Panel Data - Fixed Effects

You're fine on the period effects. They'll be at the quarter level. If you go to the View menu you'll see an entry Fixed/Random Effects, where you can look at the estimated values. I wouldn't really look at the DW stat. You're better off doing an LM style test (we don't do it automatically, but it'...

Re: Panel Data - Fixed Effects

Does your YEAR variable indicate Year and Quarter? The built-in period effects will be for whatever is defined by YEAR. Glenn Hello Thanks for your help. Yes. Year is both. 2009Q1 2009Q2 2009Q3 (...) 2011Q4 so I do not need the dummies... Am I right? I put fixed effects on period and cross section ...

Re: Panel DATA Dummies or no Dummies

One dummy for winter, one for spring, etc. As opposed to one dummy for winter 1990, one for winter 1991, etc. Ahh ok. I am doing that also. Can you help me with a question that I ask earlier? If i put "Period fixed effects" I do not need to put any dummy to control "quarter or year&q...

Re: Panel DATA Dummies or no Dummies

Odds are that the original article had a dummy for each year and seasonal dummies for the quarters, as opposed to a dummyfor each quarter in the sample. Hi Startz What do you mean by "the original article had a dummy for each year and seasonal dummies for the quarters, as opposed to a dummyfor...

Re: Panel DATA Dummies or no Dummies

The fact that you are dropping a single dummy doesn't mean you don't still have perfect collinearity due to the dummy variables. Period fixed effects will control for each period, yes. Great! Thank you again! So to be sure (I am a little slow :)) If i put "Period fixed effects" I do not n...

Re: Panel DATA Dummies or no Dummies

1) Probably a dummy variable trap. 2) Not sure what you're asking, but period fixed effects means an effect for every period. If you have quarterly data, then it will be an effect for each quarter in your sample. 3) Hard for us to say. Thank so much for your help! Let me explain myself a little bet...

Error Distribution

Hi,

im using a GARCH model (1,1). That with a Normal Error Distribution its gives an alpha + beta greater than 1. And with a Student (with 3 df) gives an alpha + beta < 1.
Why is that?

Thanks a lot

Re: GARCH Model doubts

Hey Jim, Thanks for your comment. You mean that the reason why im getting an alpha + beta bigger than 1 is caused by the intraday noise? Thats probably why i get an R2,, negative? and R2 negative means that the curve to fit is worst than a horizontal straight line? im going to try to get that paper ...
