Fixed Effects Model Model Assumptions
Fixed Effects Model Model Estimation • Within Estimator: FE-GLS
Fixed Effects Model Model Estimation: Transformation Approach • Let [FT,T-1,1T/T] be the orthonormal matrix of the eigenvectors of QT = IT-iTi’T/T, where FT,T-1 is the Tx(T-1) eigenvector matrix corresponding to the eigenvalues of 1. Define
Fixed Effects Model Model Estimation • Panel-Robust Variance-Covariance Matrix • Consistent statistical inference for general heteroscedasticity, time series and cross section correlation.
Fixed Effects Model Model Estimation: ML • Normality Assumption
Fixed Effects Model Model Estimation: ML Log-Likelihood Function Since Q is singular and |Q|=0, we use orthonomral transformation of the eigenvectors of Q, we maximize

Fixed Effects ModelHypothesis Testing • Pool or Not Pool • F-Test based on dummy variable model: constant or zero coefficients for D w.r.t F(N-1,NT-N-K) • F-test based on fixed effects (unrestricted) model vs. pooled (restricted) model
First-Difference Model • First-Difference Representation • Model Assumptions
First-Difference ModelModel Estimation • First-Difference Estimator: OLS • Consistent statistical inference for general heteroscedasticity, time series and cross section correlation should be based on panel-robust variance-covariance matrix.

First-Difference ModelModel Estimation: Transformation Approach • The first-difference operator D is a (T-1)xT matrix with elements: • Using the transformation matrix (DD)-1/2D, then we have the Forward Orthogonal Deviation Model:
First-Difference ModelModel Estimation: Transformation Approach • FD-GLS • Consistent statistical inference for general heteroscedasticity, time series and cross section correlation should be based on panel-robust variance-covariance matrix.
