Model (0.1) can thus be T T T T wrten compactly as: (0.) y = etk + Xβ + ε, ε = et + u IID( 0T,1, Ω T), = 1,..., N, T where (0.3) Ω + L (, ) ( ) + L = Ω = ee + I = M M O M L + T T T T T Models wh autocorrelaton: Model A1: u ε = + u, IID(0, ), = ρu + η, ρ < 1, η IID(0, η x,., t 1 ), η Assume that the AR(1) process started nfnetly long back n tme.

Thus, the covarance of ε s: τ η cov( ε, ε js ) = + ρ, = j, t s = τ > 0 (1 ρ ) We can wre the resdual covarance matrx of the genune dsturbance, u = ( u,..., u ) : 1 T Ω T 1 1 ρ ρ K ρ ρ 1 ρ.

3 In model A1, there s homoschedascy and autocorrelaton, but not equcorrelaton unless ρ = 0. Ths can be seen from the fact that : t s η + ρ 1 ρ corr( ε, εs ) = η + 1 ρ The correlaton s ndependent of but vares wh t s for ρ 0. Model A: u ε = + u IID(0, ), = ρu + η, ρ < 1, η (0, ), η, t 1 η x,., We go through the same steps as for model A1, the only dfference beng that η s now ndvdual specfc (has subscrpt ).

We go through the same steps as for models A1 and A, the only dfference beng that now both η and ρ are ndvdual specfc (have subscrpt ). The aggregate covarance matrx s thus:, Ω η η η T ρ + ρ K + ρ 1 ρ 1 ρ 1 ρ 1 L. L. M M M O M T 1 η η + ρ..

However, none of them have equcorrelaton, as the correlaton of ε vares wh t s for ρ 0. Models wh error heteroskedastcy: Model H1: ε = + u (0, ), = 1,..., u, IID(0, ) η x,. N Sde 4 av 0

Model H3: u ε = + u (0, ), = 1,..., (0, ), = 1,..., η x,., N N The covarance matrx for ths model s: V( ε) = ( ete T ) + IT just as (0.3), only wh ndvdual and. We thus have: corr( ε, εs ) = + whch can be wrten out ε n ths model s heteroskedastc, and s equcorrelated for ndvdual. All of the models H1-H3 have heteroskedastc dsturbances, ε s, whch are equcorrelated for ndvdual. Would you consder any of these extensons as mprovements of the model? That depends on the real structure of the data. For nstance, there s no pont n usng an autocorrelaton covarance matrx for estmaton unless there actually s autocovarance n the dsturbances. We lose more perods when we have to account for autocorrelaton. Sde 5 av 0

We can assume fxed effects. We can make a plot to look at the resduals.

IV-modell : xtvreg ln_wage age* not_s (tenure = south unon), fe If we beleve that tenure s an endogenous varable, we can try to handle ths wh nstruments.

We then need another specfcaton of the model. y = Y γ + X β + μ + ν = Z + μ + ν u = 1) δ μ + ν ~IID( 0, ) u X s stll a vector of exogenous varables; Y s a vector of observatons of endogenous varables, that are allowed to correlate whν.

Frst we estmate It s mportant to construct nstruments that are strongly correlated wh the endogenous varable, but not u. We fnd that the correlaton between u and not_smsa s and u between and unon s 0,079. The correlatons between the endogenous varable and the nstruments are and So they are not very good nstruments.. corr tenure south unon (obs=19007) Sde 7 av 0

9 By usng tenure as a endogenous varable, usng south and unon as nstruments, we fnd that age and not_smsa are no longer sgnfcant. If we beleve for nstance from other studes that these should be sgnfcant, we should use a dfferent model specfcaton. IV-modell 4: We are asked to use a between estmaton. After passng 1) trough the between estmator we are left wh y = + δ + μ + ν Z Where w 1 = T T t= 1 w for w { y, Z, v} We smlarly defne X as the matrx of nstruments X after they have passed trough the between transformaton. These nstruments are used to correct the bases on the coeffcents. We do not succeed, we fnd that sd(u_ + avg(e_.))= 0, The resdual plots also show that the coeffcents are not constant for dfferent values of X β. xtvreg ln_wage age* not_smsa (tenure= unon south), be (dcode) Between-effects IV regresson: Number of obs = Group varable: dcode Number of groups = 4134 R-sq: whn = Obs per group: mn = 1 between =. avg = 4.6 overall = max = 1 ch(4) = sd(u_ + avg(e_.))= Prob > ch = ln_wage Coef.

(se Model 1- Frst dfferencng of the equaton removes the and produces an equaton that can be estmated usng nstrumental varables. In all the models we use the lagged dependent varable as an nstrument varable. We have then lost the three frst observatons, to lags and dfferencng. Snce x contans only strctly exogenous covarates, Δ x wll serve as s own nstrument. The nstrument matrx has one row for each tme perod we are nstrumentng. η Z y 0 =. 0 0K y 3 K. K 0K 0 0. O y Δx Δx.

It mght be that we have omted varables, and that our attempts wll be no use wh ths model. We have an unbalanced panel. Ths makes the algebra more dffcult as we can not use kroneker products. But stata handles ths. Mssng observatons are handled by droppng the rows for whch there are no data, and fllng nn zeroes n columns where mssng data would be requred.

Sargan test of over-dentfyng restrctons s rejected. Possbly due to heteroskedastcy. The presence of second order autocorrelaton would mply that the estmates are nconsstent. Model 3..B s smlar to B1 but we now have computed robust standard errors, taken nto account that we suspect heteroskedastcy.we see that the coeffcents are the same, as they should be, and the (robust) standard errors are larger. But we stll suspect that the estmates are nconsstent, because of the presence of second order autocorr. Model 3..B3. Areallo Bond recommends one step, but we see that Sagran test s not rejected and the autocorrelaton test says there s no frst order autocorrelaton. But the estmates may stll be nconsstent, because of the presence of second order autocorrelaton. We also note that several of the coeff. have changed, one has even swched sgn. Model 3..-B4 We use two lags of the dependent varable, but s not sgnfcant for lag. The other results do not dffer much. Model 3..-B5 and B6 Here we use both the 1 dfference and the lagged varable.
