Estimating Vector Autoregressions with Panel Data
提出面板数据中向量自回归系数的估计与检验方法,并应用于分析美国男性样本中工资与工时的动态关系,发现工资方程中不含滞后工时,而工时方程中滞后工时重要。
This paper considers estimation and testing of vector autoregressio n coefficients in panel data, and applies the techniques to analyze the dynamic relationships between wages an d hours worked in two samples of American males. The model allows for nonstationary individual effects and is estimated by applying instrumental variables to the quasi-differenced autoregressive equations. The empirical results suggest the absence of lagged hours in the wage forecasting equation. The results also show that lagged hours is important in the hours equation.
