A New Diagnostic Test for Cross–Section Uncorrelatedness in Nonparametric Panel Data Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a new diagnostic test for residual cross–section uncorrelatedness in a nonparametric panel data model. The proposed nonparametric cross– section uncorrelatedness (CU) test is a nonparametric counterpart of an existing parametric cross–section dependence (CD) test proposed in Pesaran (2004) for the parametric case. We establish asymptotic distributions of the proposed test statistic for several different cases. One of the cases is that an asymptotic distribution is established when both the cross–sectional dimension and the time dimension go to infinity simultaneously. We then analyze the power function of the proposed test under a sequence of local alternatives that involve a nonlinear multi–factor model. We also provide several numerical examples. The small sample studies show that the nonparametric CU test associated with an asymptotic critical value works well numerically in each individual case. An empirical analysis of a set of CPI data in Australian capital cities is given to examine the applicability of the proposed nonparametric CU test.

متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Dynamic Panel Models with Fixed Effects
This paper considers nonparametric estimation of autoregressive panel data models with fixed effects. A within-group type series estimator is developed and its convergence rate and asymptotic normality are derived. It is found that the series estimator is asymptotically biased and the bias could reduce the mean-square convergence rate compared with the cross section cases. A bias corrected nonp...
متن کاملNonparametric Testing for Smooth Structural Changes in Panel Data Models
Detecting and modelling structural changes in time series models have attracted great attention while relatively little effort has been paid to the test of structural changes in panel data models despite their increasing importance in economics and finance. In this paper, we propose a new approach to testing structural changes in panel data models with cross-sectional dependence. The idea is to...
متن کاملDiagnostic Tests of Cross Section Independence for Limited Dependent Variable Panel Data Models∗
This paper considers the problem of testing for cross section independence in limited dependent variable panel data models. It derives a Lagrangian multiplier (LM) test and shows that in terms of generalized residuals of Gourieroux, Monfort, Renault and Trognon (1987) it reduces to the LM test of Breusch and Pagan (1980). Due to the tendency of the LM test to over-reject in panels with large N ...
