Re: Test equations in FE/RE tests

Period F: p=0.0032 Period Chi-square: p=0.0021 So period fixed effects are quite significant but not as much so as cross-section. When I use random effects the coefficients look correct, but as I said before apparently the random effects model is not appropriate here. I'm coming round to the fact th...

Re: Test equations in FE/RE tests

Thanks for your swift and helpful reply EViews Glenn. I have a panel consisting of 43 developing countries with 242 observations spanning the 5 year periods between 1960 and 2005. The observations are rather restricted as I am using inequality data which is notoriously scarce. I have tried the rando...

Test equations in FE/RE tests

Hi there, I'm having big problems with my model specification. The explanatory variables' coefficients look correct when I DON'T specify fixed effects, however according to the tests that EViews provides, the fixed effects are significant and thus fixed effects model should be employed. Which would ...

Panel Data - 5 Year Averages

Hi there.. I'm new to EViews as my username would suggest! I'm doing a project on the impact of inequality on economic growth, so I have an excel spreadsheet with data from 1970 to 1994. Because of the scarcity of inequality data I've had to use 5-year averages as there are not observations for ever...
