2 1. Introduction De nition (Dynamic panel data model) We now consider a dynamic panel data model, in the sense that it contains (at least) one lagged dependent variables. For simplicity, let us consider y it = γy i,t 1 + β 0 x it + α i + ε it for i = 1,.., n and t = 1,.., T. αi and λ t are the (unobserved) individual and time-speci c e ects, and ε it the error (idiosyncratic) term with E(ε it ) = 0, and E(ε it ε js ) = σ 2 ε if j = i and t = s, and E(ε it ε js ) = 0 otherwise.

3 1. Introduction Remark In a dynamic panel model, the choice between a xed-e ects formulation and a random-e ects formulation has implications for estimation that are of a di erent nature than those associated with the static model. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
4 1. Introduction Dynamic panel issues 1 If lagged dependent variables appear as explanatory variables, strict exogeneity of the regressors no longer holds. The LSDV is no longer consistent when n tends to in nity and T is xed. 2 The initial values of a dynamic process raise another problem. It turns out that with a random-e ects formulation, the interpretation of a model depends on the assumption of initial observation. 3 The consistency property of the MLE and the GLS estimator also depends on the way in which T and n tend to in nity.

7 2. The dynamic panel bias Objectives 1 Introduce the AR(1) panel data model. 2 Derive the semi-asymptotic bias of the LSDV estimator. 3 Understand the sources of the dynamic panel bias or Nickell s bias. 4 Evaluate the magnitude of this bias in a simple AR(1) model. 5 Asses this bias by Monte Carlo simulations.

8 2. The dynamic panel bias Dynamic panel bias 1 The LSDV estimator is consistent for the static model whether the e ects are xed or random. 2 On the contrary, the LSDV is inconsistent for a dynamic panel data model with individual e ects, whether the e ects are xed or random. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
9 2. The dynamic panel bias De nition (Nickell s bias) The biais of the LSDV estimator in a dynamic model is generaly known as dynamic panel bias or Nickell s bias (1981). Nickell, S. (1981).

10 2. The dynamic panel bias De nition (AR(1) panel data model) Consider the simple AR(1) model y it = γy i,t 1 + α i + ε it for i = 1,.., n and t = 1,.., T. For simplicity, let us assume that α i = α + α i to avoid imposing the restriction that n i=1 α i = 0 or E (α i ) = 0 in the case of random individual e ects. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
11 2. The dynamic panel bias Assumptions 1 The autoregressive parameter γ satis es jγj < 1 2 The initial condition y i0 is observable. 3 The error term satis es with E (ε it ) = 0, and E (ε it ε js ) = σ 2 ε if j = i and t = s, and E (ε it ε js ) = 0 otherwise.

12 2. The dynamic panel bias Dynamic panel bias In this AR(1) panel data model, we will show that plim bγ LSDV 6= γ n! dynamic panel bias plim bγ LSDV = γ n,t! C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
13 2. The dynamic panel bias The LSDV estimator is de ned by (cf. chapter 1) bα i = y i bγ LSDV y i, 1 bγ LSDV = n T i=1 t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) 2! 1 n T i=1 t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (y it y i )! x i = 1 T T t=1 x it y i = 1 T T t=1 y it y i, 1 = 1 T T y i,t 1 t=1 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
14 2. The dynamic panel bias De nition (bias) The bias of the LSDV estimator is de ned by: bγ LSDV γ = n T i=1 t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) 2! 1 n T i=1 t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i )! C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
15 2. The dynamic panel bias The bias of the LSDV estimator can be rewritten as: bγ LSDV γ = n i=1 T t=1 n i=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) / (nt ) T t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) 2 / (nt ) C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
16 2. The dynamic panel bias Let us consider the numerator. Because ε it are (1) uncorrelated with α i and (2) are independently and identically distributed, we have plim n! 1 nt n i=1 T t=1 1 = plim n! nt y i,t 1 ε it t=1 i=1 {z } N 1 T T n (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) n T 1 plim n! nt y i,t 1 ε i t=1 i=1 {z } N plim n! nt y i, 1 ε it + plim t=1 i=1 n! nt y i, 1 ε i t=1 i=1 {z } {z } N 3 N 4 T n n C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
17 2. The dynamic panel bias Theorem (Weak law of large numbers, Khinchine) If fx i g, for i = 1,.., m is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with E (X i ) = µ <, then the sample mean converges in probability to µ: or m 1 p m X i! E (Xi ) = µ i=1 plim m! 1 m m X i = E (X i ) = µ i=1 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
18 2. The dynamic panel bias By application of the WLLN (Khinchine s theorem) N 1 = plim n! 1 nt n i=1 T t=1 y i,t 1 ε it = E (y i,t 1 ε it ) Since (1) y i,t 1 only depends on ε i,t 1, ε i,t 2 and (2) the ε it are uncorrelated, then we have E (y i,t 1 ε it ) = 0 and nally N 1 = plim n! 1 nt n i=1 T t=1 y i,t 1 ε it = 0 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
19 2. The dynamic panel bias For the second term N 2, we have: N 2 = plim n! = plim n! = plim n! = plim n! 1 nt 1 nt 1 nt 1 n n i=1 T t=1 y i,t 1 ε i n T ε i y i,t 1 i=1 t=1 n i=1 n ε i y i, 1 i=1 ε i T y i, 1 as y i, 1 = 1 T T y i,t 1 t=1 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
20 2. The dynamic panel bias In the same way: N 3 = plim n! 1 nt n i=1 T t=1 y i, 1 ε it = plim n! 1 nt n T 1 y i, 1 ε it = plim i=1 t=1 n! n n y i, i=1 1 ε N 4 = plim n! 1 nt n i=1 T t=1 y i, n 1 1 ε i = plim n! nt T y i, i=1 n 1 1 ε i = plim n! n y i, i=1 1 ε i C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
21 2. The dynamic panel bias The numerator of the bias expression can be rewritten as plim n! = 0 {z} N 1 1 nt = plim n! n i=1 T t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) n 1 plim n! n ε i y i, 1 i=1 {z } 1 n n y i, i=1 N 2 1 ε i n 1 1 plim n! n y i, 1 ε i + plim i=1 n! n y i, 1 ε i i=1 {z } {z } N 3 N 4 n C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
22 2. The dynamic panel bias Solution The numerator of the expression of the LSDV bias satis es: plim n! 1 nt n i=1 T t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) = plim n! 1 n n y i, i=1 1 ε i C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
23 2. The dynamic panel bias Remark bγ LSDV γ = n i=1 T t=1 n i=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) / (nt ) T t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) 2 / (nt ) plim n! 1 nt n i=1 T t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) = plim n! 1 n n y i, i=1 If this plim is not null, then the LSDV estimator bγ LSDV is biased when n tends to in nity and T is xed. 1 ε i C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
24 2. The dynamic panel bias Let us examine this plim plim n! 1 n n y i, i=1 1 ε i We know that y it = γy i,t 1 + α i + ε it = γ 2 y i,t 2 + α i (1 + γ) + ε it + γε i,t 1 = γ 3 y i,t 3 + α i 1 + γ + γ 2 + ε it + γε i,t 1 + γ 2 ε i,t 2 =... = γ t y i0 + 1 γt 1 γ α i + ε it + γε i,t 1 + γ 2 ε i,t γ t 1 ε i1 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
25 2. The dynamic panel bias For any time t, we have: y it = ε it + γε i,t 1 + γ 2 ε i,t γ t 1 ε i1 + 1 γt 1 γ α i + γ t y i0 For y i,t 1, we have: y i,t 1 = ε i,t 1 + γε i,t 2 + γ 2 ε i,t γ t 2 ε i1 + 1 γt 1 1 γ α i + γ t 1 y i0 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
26 2. The dynamic panel bias y i,t 1 = ε i,t 1 + γε i,t 2 + γ 2 ε i,t γ t 2 ε i1 + 1 γt 1 1 γ α i + γ t 1 y i0 Summing y i,t 1 over t, we get: T y i,t 1 = ε i,t γ2 t=1 1 γ ε i,t γt 1 1 γ ε i1 (T 1) T γ + γt + (1 γ) 2 αi + 1 γt 1 γ y i0 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
27 2. The dynamic panel bias y i,t 1 = ε i,t 1 + γε i,t 2 + γ 2 ε i,t γ t 2 ε i1 + 1 γt 1 Proof: We have (each lign corresponds to a date) T y i,t 1 = y i,t 1 + y i,t y i,1 + y i,0 t=1 = ε i,t 1 + γε i,t γ T 2 ε i1 + 1 γt 1 +ε i,t 2 + γε i,t γ T 3 ε i1 + 1 γt ε i,1 + 1 γ1 1 γ α i + γy i0 +y i0 1 γ α i + γ t 1 y i0 1 γ α i + γ T 1 y i0 1 γ α i + γ T 2 y i0 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
28 2. The dynamic panel bias Proof (ct d): For the individual e ect αi, we have = αi 1 γ + 1 γ γ T 1 1 γ αi T 1 γ γ 2.. γ T 1 1 γ T αi 1 γ = T 1 γ 1 γ = α i T T γ 1 + γ T (1 γ) 2 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
29 2. The dynamic panel bias So, we have y i, 1 = 1 T = 1 T T y i,t 1 t=1 ε i,t γ2 1 γ ε i,t γt 1 + T T γ 1 + γt (1 γ) 2 α i + 1 γt 1 γ y i0 1 γ ε i1! C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
30 2. The dynamic panel bias Finally, the plim is equal to plim n! = plim n! 1 n 1 n n i=1 n i=1 y i, 1 T 1 ε i ε i,t γ2 1 γ ε i,t γt 1 1 γ ε i1! + T T γ 1 + γt (1 γ) 2 α i + 1 γt 1 γ y i0 1 T (ε i ε it ) C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
31 2. The dynamic panel bias Because ε it are i.i.d, by a law of large numbers, we have: plim n! = plim n! 1 n 1 n = σ2 ε 1 T 2 n i=1 n i=1 y i, 1 T 1 ε i ε i,t γ2 1 γ ε i,t γt 1 1 γ ε i1! + T T γ 1 + γt (1 γ) 2 αi + 1 γt 1 γ y i0 γ 1 γ + 1 γ2 1 γ γt 1 1 γ T T γ 1 + γ T T 2 (1 γ) 2 = σ2 ε 1 T (ε i ε it ) C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
32 2. The dynamic panel bias Theorem If the errors terms ε it are i.i.d. 0, σ 2 ε, we have: plim n! = plim n! = 1 nt 1 n n i=1 T t=1 n y i, i=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) 1 ε i σ 2 ε T T γ 1 + γ T T 2 (1 γ) 2 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
33 2. The dynamic panel bias By similar manipulations, we can show that the denominator of bγ LSDV converges to: = 1 plim nt n! n i=1 σ 2 ε 1 γ 2 1 T t=1 1 T (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) 2 2γ (1 γ) 2 T T γ 1 +! γt T 2 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
34 2. The dynamic panel bias So, we have : plim (bγ LSDV γ) n! = plim n! = 1 nt n i=1 1 nt σ 2 ε γ 2 T T t=1 n i=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) (ε it ε i ) T t=1 (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) 2 σ 2 ε (T T γ 1+γ T ) T 2 (1 γ) 2 2γ (T T γ 1+γT ) (1 γ) 2 T 2 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
35 2. The dynamic panel bias This semi-asymptotic bias can be rewriten as: = = plim (bγ LSDV γ) n! 1 γ 1+γ T 2 (1 γ) T 2 T T γ 1 + γ T 2γ T (T T γ 1 + γ T ) (1 γ) 2 (1 + γ) T T γ 1 + γ T T 2γ (T T γ 1 + γ T ) (1 γ) 2 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
36 2. The dynamic panel bias Fact If T also tends to in nity, then the numerator converges to zero, and denominator converges to a nonzero constant σ 2 ε / 1 γ 2, hence the LSDV estimator of γ and α i are consistent. Fact If T is xed, then the denominator is a nonzero constant, and bγ LSDV and bα i are inconsistent estimators when n is large. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
37 2. The dynamic panel bias Theorem (Dynamic panel bias) In a dynamic panel AR(1) model with individual e ects, the semi-asymptotic bias (with n) of the LSDV estimator on the autoregressive parameter is equal to: (1 + γ) T T γ 1 + γ T plim (bγ LSDV γ) = n! (1 γ) T 2 T 2γ (1 γ) 2 (T T γ 1 + γ T ) C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
38 2. The dynamic panel bias Theorem (Dynamic panel bias) For an AR(1) model, the dynamic panel bias can be rewriten as : plim (bγ LSDV γ) = n! 1 + γ T γ T T 1 γ 2γ (1 γ) (T 1) 1 1 γ T 1 T (1 γ) C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
39 2. The dynamic panel bias Fact The dynamic bias of bγ LSDV is caused by having to eliminate the individual e ects αi from each observation, which creates a correlation of order (1/T ) between the explanatory variables and the residuals in the transformed model 0 B (y it y i ) = i,t 1 y {z} i, 1 + it depends on past value of ε it 1 ε {z} i A depends on past value of ε it 1 C A C.

The dynamic panel bias Intuition of the dynamic bias with cov (y i, (y it y i ) = γ (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) + (ε it ε i ) 1, ε i ) 6= 0 since cov (y i, 1, ε i ) = cov = cov 1 T 1 T T t=1 y i,t 1, 1 T T t=1 y i,t 1, 1 T!

41 2. The dynamic panel bias Intuition of the dynamic bias (y it y i ) = γ (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) + (ε it ε i ) with cov (y i, 1, ε i ) 6= 0 If we approximate y it by ε it (in fact y it also depend on ε it 1, ε t 2,...) then we have cov (y i, 1, ε i ) = 1 T 2 cov ((y i y it 1 ), (ε i ε it )) ' 1 T 2 (cov (ε i,1, ε i,1 ) (cov (ε i,t 1, ε i,t 1 ))) ' (T 1) σ2 ε T 2 6= 0 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
42 2. The dynamic panel bias Intuition of the dynamic bias (y it y i ) = γ (y i,t 1 y i, 1 ) + (ε it ε i ) with cov (y i, 1, ε i ) 6= 0 If we approximate y it by ε it then we have cov (y i, 1, ε i ) = (T 1) σ2 ε T 2 By taking into account all the interaction terms, we have shown that n 1 plim n! n y i, 1 ε i = cov (y i, 1, ε i ) = σ2 ε (T 1) γ 1 + γ T i=1 T 2 (1 γ) 2 C.

43 2. The dynamic panel bias Remarks plim (bγ LSDV γ) = n! 1 + γ T γ T T 1 γ 2γ (1 γ) (T 1) 1 1 γ T 1 T (1 γ) 1 When T is large, the right-hand-side variables become asymptotically uncorrelated. 2 For small T, this bias is always negative if γ > 0. 3 The bias does not go to zero as γ goes to zero.

59 2. The dynamic panel bias Question: What is the importance of the dynamic bias in micro-panels? Macroeconomists should not dismiss the LSDV bias as insigni cant. Even with a time dimension T as large as 30, we nd that the bias may be equal to as much 20% of the true value of the coe cient of interest. (Judson et Owen, 1999, page 10) Judson R.A. and Owen A.

62 2. The dynamic panel bias Fact (smearing e ect) The LSDV for dynamic individual-e ects model remains biased with the introduction of exogenous variables if T is small; for details of the derivation, see Nickell (1981); Kiviet (1995). y it = α + γy i,t 1 + β 0 x it + α i + ε it In this case, both estimators bγ LSDV and bβ LSDV are biased.

70 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Endogeneity we assume that the assumption A3 (exogeneity) is violated: E ( εj X) 6= 0 N 1 with plim 1 N X0 ε = E (x j ε j ) = γ 6= 0 K 1 C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
71 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Theorem (Bias of the OLS estimator) If the regressors are endogenous, i.e. E ( εj X) 6= 0, the OLS estimator of β is biased E bβols 6= β where β denotes the true value of the parameters. This bias is called the endogeneity bias. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
72 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Theorem (Inconsistency of the OLS estimator) If the regressors are endogenous with plim N 1 X 0 ε = γ, the OLS estimator of β is inconsistent where Q = plim N 1 X 0 X. plim b β OLS = β + Q 1 γ C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
73 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Proof: Given the de nition of the OLS estimator: We have: bβ OLS = X 0 X 1 X 0 y plim b β OLS = β + plim = X 0 X 1 X 0 (Xβ + ε) = β + X 0 X 1 X 0 ε = β + Q 1 γ 6= β N X0 X plim N X0 ε C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
74 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Remarks plim b β OLS = β + Q 1 γ 1 The implication is that even though only one of the variables in X is correlated with ε, all of the elements of b β OLS are inconsistent, not just the estimator of the coe cient on the endogenous variable. 2 This e ects is called smearing e ect: the inconsistency due to the endogeneity of the one variable is smeared across all of the least squares estimators. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
75 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Example (Endogeneity, OLS estimator and smearing) Consider the multiple linear regression model y i = x i1 0.8x i2 + ε i where ε i is i.i.d. with E (ε i ). We assume that the vector of variables de ned by w i = (x i1 : x i2 : ε i ) has a multivariate normal distribution with with w i N (0 31, ) It means that Cov (ε i, x i1 ) = 0 (x 1 is exogenous) but Cov (ε i, x i2 ) = 0.5 (x 2 is endogenous) and Cov (x i1, x i2 ) = 0.3 (x 1 is correlated to x 2 ). 1 A C.

80 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS De nition (Instruments) Consider a set of H variables z h 2 R N for h = 1,..N. Denote Z the N H matrix (z 1 :.. : z H ). These variables are called instruments or instrumental variables if they satisfy two properties: (1) Exogeneity: They are uncorrelated with the disturbance.

82 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS De nition (Instrument properties) We assume that the H instruments are linearly independent: E Z 0 Z is non singular or equivalently rank E Z 0 Z = H C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
83 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS The exogeneity condition E ( ε j j z j ) = 0 =) E (ε j z j ) = 0 H can expressed as an orthogonality condition or moment condition 0 z j y j 1 xj 0 β A = 0 H (H,1) (1,1) (H,1) So, we have H equations and K unknown parameters β C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
84 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS De nition (Identi cation) The system is identi ed if there exists a unique vector β such that: E z j y j xj 0 β = 0 where z j = (z j1..z jh ) 0. For that, we have the following conditions: (1) If H < K the model is not identi ed. (2) If H = K the model is just-identi ed. (3) If H > K the model is over-identi ed. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
85 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Remark 1 Under-identi cation: less equations (H) than unknowns (K)... 2 Just-identi cation: number of equations equals the number of unknowns (unique solution)...=> IV estimator 3 Over-identi cation: more equations than unknowns. Two equivalent solutions: 1 Select K linear combinations of the instruments to have a unique solution )...=> Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) 2 Set the sample analog of the moment conditions as close as possible to zero, i.e. minimize the distance between the sample analog and zero given a metric (optimal metric or optimal weighting matrix?) => Generalized Method of Moments (GMM).

88 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Motivation of the IV estimator By de nition of the instruments: plim 1 N Z0 ε = plim 1 N Z0 (y Xβ) = 0 K 1 So, we have: or equivalently plim 1 N Z0 y = β = plim 1 N Z0 X β plim 1 1 N Z0 X plim 1 N Z0 y C.

91 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Proof: By de nition: bβ IV = Z 0 X Z 0 y = β + N Z0 X N Z0 ε So, we have: plimβ b IV = β + plim 1 1 N Z0 X plim 1 N Z0 ε Under the assumption of exogeneity of the instruments plim 1 N Z0 ε = 0 K 1 So, we have plim b β IV = β C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
92 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS De nition (Asymptotic distribution) Under some regularity conditions, the IV estimator β b IV is asymptotically normally distributed: p N bβiv d! β N 0K 1, σ 2 QZX 1 Q ZZ QZX 1 where Q ZZ K K = plim 1 N Z0 Z Q ZX K K = plim 1 N Z0 X C.

Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
95 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Relevant instruments 1 Our analysis thus far has focused on the identi cation condition for IV estimation, that is, the exogeneity assumption, which produces plim 1 N Z0 ε = 0 K 1 2 A growing literature has argued that greater attention needs to be given to the relevance condition plim 1 N Z0 X = Q ZX a nite H K positive de nite matrix with H = K in the case of a just-identi ed model.

96 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Relevant instruments (cont d) plim 1 N Z0 X = Q ZX a nite H K positive de nite matrix 1 While strictly speaking, this condition is su cient to determine the asymptotic properties of the IV estimator 2 However, the common case of weak instruments, is only barely true has attracted considerable scrutiny. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
97 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS De nition (Weak instrument) A weak instrument is an instrumental variable which is only slightly correlated with the right-hand-side variables X. In presence of weak instruments, the quantity Q ZX is close to zero and we have 1 N Z0 X ' 0 H K C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
98 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Fact (IV estimator and weak instruments) In presence of weak instruments, the IV estimators b β IV has a poor precision (great variance). For Q ZX ' 0 H K, the asymptotic variance tends to be very large, since: V asy bβiv = σ2 N Q ZX 1 Q ZZ QZX 1 As soon as N 1 Z 0 X ' 0 H K, the estimated asymptotic variance covariance is also very large since bv asy bβiv = bσ 2 Z 0 X 1 Z 0 Z X 0 Z 1 C.

100 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Introduction If Z contains more variables than X, then much of the preceding derivation is unusable, because Z 0 X will be H K with rank Z 0 X = K < H So, the matrix Z 0 X has no inverse and we cannot compute the IV estimator as: bβ IV = Z 0 X 1 Z 0 y C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
101 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Introduction (cont d) The crucial assumption in the previous section was the exogeneity assumption plim 1 N Z0 ε = 0 K 1 1 That is, every column of Z is asymptotically uncorrelated with ε. 2 That also means that every linear combination of the columns of Z is also uncorrelated with ε, which suggests that one approach would be to choose K linear combinations of the columns of Z. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
102 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Introduction (cont d) Which linear combination to choose? A choice consists in using is the projection of the columns of X in the column space of Z: bx = Z Z 0 Z 1 Z 0 X With this choice of instrumental variables, bx for Z, we have bβ 2SLS = = 1 X b 0 X X b 0 y X 0 Z Z 0 Z 1 1 Z X 0 X 0 Z Z 0 Z 1 Z 0 y C.

103 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS De nition (Two-stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimator) The Two-stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimator of the parameters β is de ned as to be: 1 bβ 2SLS = X b 0 X X b 0 y where bx = Z Z 0 Z 1 Z 0 X corresponds to the projection of the columns of X in the column space of Z, or equivalently by bβ 2SLS = X 0 Z Z 0 Z 1 Z 0 X 1 X 0 Z Z 0 Z 1 Z 0 y C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
104 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Remark By de nition Since bβ 2SLS = 1 X b 0 X X b 0 y bx = Z Z 0 Z 1 Z 0 X = P Z X where P Z denotes the projection matrix on the columns of Z. Reminder: P Z is symmetric and P Z P 0 Z = P Z. So, we have bβ 2SLS = = X 0 P 0 1 Z X X b 0 y X 0 P 0 1 Z P Z X X b 0 y = 1 X b 0 bx X b 0 y C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
105 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS De nition (Two-stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimator) The Two-stage Least Squares (2SLS) estimator of the parameters β can also be de ned as: 1 bβ 2SLS = X b 0 bx X b 0 y It corresponds to the OLS estimator obtained in the regression of y on bx. Then, the 2SLS can be computed in two steps, rst by computing bx, then by the least squares regression. That is why it is called the two-stage LS estimator. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
106 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS A procedure to get the 2SLS estimator is the following Step 1: Regress each explicative variable x k (for k = 1,..K ) on the H instruments. x kj = α 1 z 1j + α 2 z 2j α H z Hj + v j Step 2: Compute the OLS estimators bα h and the tted values bx kj bx kj = bα 1 z 1j + bα 2 z 2j bα H z Hj Step 3: Regress the dependent variable y on the tted values bx ki : y j = β 1 bx 1j + β 2 bx 2j β K bx Kj + ε j The 2SLS estimator b β 2SLS then corresponds to the OLS estimator obtained in this model. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
107 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Theorem If any column of X also appears in Z, i.e. if one or more explanatory (exogenous) variable is used as an instrument, then that column of X is reproduced exactly in bx. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
108 3.1 Reminder on IV and 2SLS Example (Explicative variables used as instrument) Suppose that the regression contains K variables, only one of which, say, the K th, is correlated with the disturbances, i.e. E (x Ki ε i ) 6= 0. We can use a set of instrumental variables z 1,..., z J plus the other K 1 variables that certainly qualify as instrumental variables in their own right. So, Z = (z 1 :.. : z J : x 1 :.. : x K 1 ) Then bx = (x 1 :.. : x K 1 : bx K ) where bx K denotes the projection of x K on the columns of Z. C.

128 3. Instrumental variable (IV) estimators Remarks 1 The rst estimator (with z it = y i,t 2 ) has an advantage over the second one (with z it = y i,t 2 y i,t 3 ), in that the minimum number of time periods required is two, whereas the rst one requires T 3. 2 In practice, if T 3, the choice between both depends on the correlations between (y i,t 1 y i,t 2 ) and y i,t 2 or (y i,t 2 y i,t 3 ) => relevance assumption.

Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
133 3.2 Anderson and Hsiao (1982) IV approach Fourth step: estimation of the variances De nition Given bγ IV, bβ IV, and bρ, we can estimate the variances as follows: with bσ 2 α = 1 n bσ 2 ε = 1 n (T 1) T t=2 n bε 2 it i=1 n 2 y i bγ IV y i, 1 bβ 0 IV x i bρ 0 1 z i i=1 T bσ2 ε bε it = (y i,t y i,t 1 ) bγ IV (y i,t 1 y i,t 2 ) bβ 0 IV (x i,t x i,t 1 ) C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
134 3.2 Anderson and Hsiao (1982) IV approach Theorem The instrumental-variable estimators of γ, β, and σ 2 ε are consistent when n (correction of the Nickell bias), or T, or both tend to in nity. plim bγ IV = γ n,t! plim bβ IV = β n,t! plim bσ 2 ε = σ 2 ε n,t!

137 4. The GMM approach Let us consider the same dynamic panel data model as in section 3: y it = γy i,t 1 + β 0 x it + ρ 0 ω i + α i + ε it α i are the (unobserved) individual e ects, x it is a vector of K 1 time-varying explanatory variables, ω i is a vector of K 2 time-invariant variables. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
138 4. The GMM approach Assumptions: we assume that the component error term v it = ε it + α i E (ε it ) = 0, E (α i ) = 0 E (ε it ε js ) = σ 2 ε if j = i and t = s, 0 otherwise. E (α i α j ) = σ 2 α if j = i, 0 otherwise. E (α i x it ) = 0, E (α i ω i ) = 0 (exogeneity assumption for ω i ) C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
139 4. The GMM approach De nition (First di erence model) The GMM estimation method is based on a model in rst di erences, in order to swip out the individual e ects α i and th variables ω i : (y it y i,t 1 ) = γ (y i,t 1 y i,t 2 ) + β 0 (x it x i,t 1 ) + ε it ε i,t 1 for t = 2,.., T. C. Hurlin (University of Orléans) Advanced Econometrics II April / 209
140 4. The GMM approach Intuition of the moment conditions Notice that y i,t 2 and (y i,t 2 y i,t 3 ) are not the only valid instruments for (y i,t 1 y i,t 2 ). All the lagged variables y i,t 2 j, for j 0, satisfy E (y i,t 2 j (ε i,t ε i,t 1 )) = 0 Exogeneity property E (y i,t 2 j (y i,t 1 y i,t 2 )) 6= 0 Relevance property Therefore, they all are legitimate instruments for (y i,t 1 y i,t 2 ).
