Specification tests for a parsimonious random-effects model

Pages 1009-1012 | Published online: 11 Dec 2006
 

Abstract

A random-effect model is devised with individual- and time-specific components for uncensored data, based on a specification for censored data developed by Anderson (Citation1985) and extended by Kim and Maddala (Citation1992). In addition, specification tests are devised that allow one to choose between the model and a conventional random-effects model.

Notes

1 Kim and Maddala also consider a multiplicative heteroscedastic specification due to Anderson (Citation1985), in which for i = j, t = s, i, j = 1, … , N; s, t = 1, … , T; 0, otherwise.
