Tests for Panel Regression Model with Unbalanced Data

  • Published : 2001.09.01

Abstract

This paper consider the testing problem of variance component for the unbalanced tow=-way error component model. We provide a conditional LM test statistic for testing zero individual(time) effects assuming that the other time-specific(individual)efefcts are present. This test is extension of Baltagi, Chang and Li(1998, 1992). Monte Carlo experiments are conducted to study the performance of this LM test.
