Fixed Effects vs. Random Effects Hypothesis Testing Estimator Random Effects E(ui|Xi) = 0 Fixed Effects E(ui|Xi) =/= 0 GLS or RE-LS (Random Effects) Consistent and Efficient Inconsistent LSDV or FE-LS (Fixed Effects) Consistent Inefficient Possibly Efficient
Random Effects vs. Fixed Effects Fixed effects estimator is consistent under H0 and H1; Random effects estimator is efficient under H0, but it is inconsistent under H1. Hausman Test Statistic
Random Effects vs. Fixed Effects Alternative Hausman Test (Mundlak Approach) Estimate the random effects model with the group means of time variant regressors: F Test that g = 0
Hypothesis Testing Fixed Effects Model Random Effects Model
Heteroscedasticity The Null Hypothesis Based on the auxiliary regression LM test statistic is NR2 ~ 2(K), N is total number of observation (i,t)s.
Cross Sectional Correlation The Null Hypothesis Based on the estimated correlation coefficients Breusch-Pagan LM Test (Breusch, 1980) As T ∞ (N fixed)
Cross Sectional Correlation Bias adjusted Breusch-Pagan LM Test (Pesaran, et.al. 2008)
Time Serial Correlation The Model and Null Hypothesis LM Test Statistic
