Re: Lagged Dependent Variable with Fixed Effects (OLS)

I have done many internet searches and used my text books. I'm aware of Nickel's (1981) findings. From what I've gathered, the size of the T parameter (time) determines whether the model is biassed or not? If this is correct, does anyone know how large T must be in order to overcome issues related t...

Lagged Dependent Variable with Fixed Effects (OLS)

Is is correct to include a Lagged Dependent Variable in a Panel with Fixed Effects using OLS?

Will it produce biassed results? If so, why? And will the size of the time parameter determine if it is biassed or not?

Many Thanks

I know it's too early to bump, but I'm desperate - so bump! :)

Re: unit root interpretation Please

Also, it's normal that the t value is less that the critical values as it is a one tail test. A one tail test can be positive or negative, you would reject a null hypothesis if (negative t-stat) < (negative crit value) or if (positive t-stat) > (positive crit value).

Correct me if I'm wrong?

How do you interpret an AR(1)

Dear all, Please excuse my shocking lack of knowledge of econometrics, here is my query: I have a fixed effects panel with exogenous I(1) variables, time=25 years, cross section= 11 countries. The variables are I(1), therefore non stationary, and I have not taken the first differences in my estimati...

Re: What type of model should be used?

You're welcome. I'm not aware of any specification that can be written so that you have both S and L run elasticities readily available in the context that you're working with. As regards panel data, sorry I can't be of help here. Refer to the manual. W Thanks again for your advice. I've since been...

Re: What type of model should be used?

As a result, would it be best just to use a fixed effects panel and OLS using the first differences of the variables? By LDV I meant lagged dependant variable, I've been advised by some people (notably my supervisor) to include it, however others (lecturers) have told me not to. I'm worried it will...

Re: What type of model should be used?

I have not tested the order of integration, as I can't seem to be able to do it in my panel (When I go to 'Proc' the option 'Make Residual Series' is not there) - any ideas where I could be going wrong? You need to test each series individually for stationarity, not the residual. Stationarity in th...

Re: What type of model should be used?

Some questions you might find useful from my end: 1. If you suspect your variables are non-stationary, did you test for the order of integration, so that you would know how many times you need to take differences to make them stationary? 2. Did you construct the correlation matrix on the level or o...

What type of model should be used?

Ladies and Gentlemen, brace yourselves for the newbiest post you have ever seen on this forum (probably). I desperately need some help with selecting the correct model for my economic dissertation. My study is on the determinants of intra-EU FDI, so my variables are as follows: Dependant variable: -...
