A SPATIAL DYNAMIC PANEL DATA MODEL WITH BOTH TIME AND INDIVIDUAL FIXED EFFECTS
研究了同时包含时间和个体固定效应的空间动态面板数据模型的拟极大似然估计量的渐近性质,提出了消除时间效应的数据变换方法,并给出了偏差修正方法。
This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for spatial dynamic panel data with both time and individual fixed effects when the number of individuals n and the number of time periods T can be large. We propose a data transformation approach to eliminate the time effects. When n / T → 0, the estimators are $\root \of {nT}$ consistent and asymptotically centered normal; when n is asymptotically proportional to T , they are $\root \of {nT}$ consistent and asymptotically normal, but the limit distribution is not centered around 0; when n / T → ∞, the estimators are consistent with rate T and have a degenerate limit distribution. We also propose a bias correction for our estimators. When n 1/3 / T → 0, the correction will asymptotically eliminate the bias and yield a centered confidence interval. The estimates from the transformation approach can be consistent when n is a fixed finite number.
