Change Point in Panel Data with Small Fixed Panel Size: Ratio and Non-Ratio Test Statistics

Nonparametric test for detecting change in distribution with panel data

This paper considers the problem of comparing two processes with panel data. A nonparametric test is proposed for detecting a monotone change in the link between the two process distributions. The test statistic is of CUSUM type, based on the empirical distribution functions. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed statistic is derived and its finite sample property is examined by bootstrap...

Panel Data: Fixed and Random Effects

In panel data, individuals (persons, firms, cities, ... ) are observed at several points in time (days, years, before and after treatment, ...). This handout focuses on panels with relatively few time periods (small T ) and many individuals (large N). This handout introduces the two basic models for the analysis of panel data, the fixed effects model and the random effects model, and presents c...

Spatial panel data models with structural change

Spatial panel data models are widely used in empirical studies. The existing theories of spatial models so far have largely confine the analysis under the assumption of parameters stabilities. This is unduely restrictive, since a large number of studies have well documented the presence of structural changes in the relationship of economic variables. This paper proposes and studies spatial pane...

Data Envelopment Analysis Models In The Presence Of Ratio Data and Non-Discretionary Factors

Estimation of spatial autoregressive panel data models with fixed effects

This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for SAR panel data models with fixed effects and SAR disturbances. A direct approach is to estimate all the parameters including the fixed effects. Because of the incidental parameter problem, some parameter estimatorsmay be inconsistent or their distributions are not properly centered. We propose an alternative...
