3 Time Varying Effects Models
Time Varying Fixed Effects: Additive yit = β’xit + ai(t) + εit yit = β’xit + ai + ct + εit ai(t) = ai + ct, t=1,…,T Two way fixed effects model Now standard in fixed effects modeling.

9 Time Varying Effects Models
Time Varying Fixed Effects: Additive Polynomial yit = β’xit + ai(t) + εit yit = β’xit + ai0 + ai1t + ai2t2+ εit Let Wi = [1,t,t2]Tx3 Ai = stack of Wi with 0s inserted Use OLS, Frisch and Waugh. Extend “within” estimator. Note Ai’Aj = 0 for all i  j. See Cornwell, Schmidt, Sickles (1990) (Frontiers literature.)

18 Quadratic Fixed Effects
Correct DF: (48)=666 Multiply standard errors by sqr(810/666) = 1.103

19 Time Varying Effects Models
Time Varying Fixed Effects: Multiplicative yit = β’xit + ai(t) + εit yit = β’xit + it + εit Not estimable. Needs a normalization. 1 = 1. An EM iteration: (Chen (2015).)

21 Measurement Error

22 General Conclusions About Measurement Error
In the presence of individual effects, inconsistency is in unknown directions With panel data, different transformations of the data (first differences, group mean deviations) estimate different functions of the parameters – possible method of moments estimators Model may be estimable by minimum distance or GMM With panel data, lagged values may provide suitable instruments for IV estimation. Various applications listed in Baltagi (pp ).

48 Conclusion Het. in Effects
Choose robust OLS or simple FGLS with moments based variances. Note the advantage of panel data – individual specific variances As usual, the payoff is a function of Variance of the variances The extent to which variances are correlated with regressors. MLE and specific models for variances probably don’t pay off much unless the model(s) for the variances is (are) of specific interest.

54 Dear Professor Greene, I have to apply multiplicative heteroscedastic models, that I studied in your book, to the analysis of trade data. Since I have not found any Matlab implementations, I am starting to write the method from scratch. I was wondering if you are aware of reliable implementations in Matlab or any other language, which I can use as a reference. 

55 Baltagi and Griffin’s Gasoline Data
World Gasoline Demand Data, 18 OECD Countries, 19 years Variables in the file are COUNTRY = name of country YEAR = year, LGASPCAR = log of consumption per car LINCOMEP = log of per capita income LRPMG = log of real price of gasoline LCARPCAP = log of per capita number of cars See Baltagi (2001, p. 24) for analysis of these data. The article on which the analysis is based is Baltagi, B. and Griffin, J., "Gasoline Demand in the OECD: An Application of Pooling and Testing Procedures," European Economic Review, 22, 1983, pp  The data were downloaded from the website for Baltagi's text.

63 Evidence of Country Specific Heteroscedasticity

64 Heteroscedasticity in the FE Model
Ordinary Least Squares Within groups estimation as usual. Standard treatment – this is just a (large) linear regression model. White estimator

65 In order to test robustness two versions of the fixed effects model were run. The first is Ordinary Least Squares, and the second is heteroscedasticity and auto-correlation robust (HAC) standard errors in order to check for heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. [Only one version of the model was computed. There was no “check.”]
