First of all I would like to thank you so much for your efforts in creating videos and uploading them on TH-cam. The videos you have uploaded on panel data estimation are very much helpful for learners like me. However, I have a few doubts about the estimation of static and dynamic panel data. such as listed below;
1. Can we use year or time dummies in the fixed effects model? 2. In one-step and two-step differences GMM, how can we get constant values? Thank you once again Madam.
Hi Surendra, thanks for the encouraging feedback on my videos. Deeply appreciated. (1) yes; (2) xtabond2 is a User-written code and getting the CONSTANT will depend on the xtabond2 syntax you are using.
You have been very helpful for my thesis! I appreciate all of the information you have shared :). I also would like to ask how do we determine the right instruments? Do we include all of our control variables as instruments? Or do we need to test for endogeneity? If so how do we do this exactly?
Good every ma. How was your day? I was watching your video on GMM and you made mention of some conditions that must be satisfied in order to use it. My question is on the N > T condition. I want to do a cross country study (3 countries) with a total of 220 companies for 11 years. But someone said I can't use GMM because my cross section isn't just the companies but also the countries and the number of countries is less than the number of years. What is your opinion? If truely I can't use GMM, what other dynamic panel estimator can I use?
Hi Rain-Walker, I mentioned in the video that GMM corrects for endogeneity that is the essence of GMM in the first instance. I'd suggest you read those references on GMM as indicated in my video for better understanding. If N
Dear Bosede, in this video you have discussed about the range of Hansen test but what should be the range for Sargan test? if someone run the one step. Thank you :-)
Thanks Jonathan, yes that's part of the topics slated as you saw the outlined tutorials. Please be patient a bit, I'll definitely get to it. I'll appreciate if you can share this with your academic community and colleagues too. They need to know! 💕 😊
In a study, if i conduct both fixed effect model regression (one independent variable turned out significant) and gmm regression (two significant variables turned out significant -including the FE model's variable). What should i include in the paper for panel data analysis? Or should i include both
How are you Dr. Thank you very much for the videos. Please, I have a question. I would like to estimate a dynamic model by applying the GMM on eviews but the issue is on the part of presenting results, there is an error messsage saying number of instruments are greater than number of observations. So Dr, should I continue using GMM or there is something I should do?
Hi Takunda, due to the command-driven interface, I find Stata more robust for panel data analysis. I will advise you to post this to any EViews platform for constructive feedback. Thanks
Hello Dr. Addeleye, Thank you for making econometrics look easy for students. I really appreciate your videos as they have served my understanding very well. However, i would like to know in the event that T>N for a dynamic panel case, what estimation techniques are best? Also, can i use the Fully modified OLS and Dynamic OLS to estimate a dynamic panel model? kindly awaiting your response. With regards.
Thanks Talatu, I am also glad that you find the content very helpful. Kindly watch my videos on panel ARDL as that answers your query but unfortunately cannot say if FMOLS is applicable. May I know from where (location) you are reaching me?

Hi professor, thank you very much for your comprehensive video. I have one question left: I'm currently trying to estimate a demand function for air travel having panel data on the actual number of passengers who traveled and on the average fare on travel route level. Now my question is if I want to apply GMM such as Arrelano and Bond - is it somehow possible to also instrument the fare in order to deal with simultaneous equation bias? Because as of now I would use a fixed effects estimation with instrumental variables (xtivreg, fe in STATA) in order to estimate the demand function (where the fare is instrumented by a measure for market concentration). However, I'm certain that strict exogeneity can be an issue, which makes my estimates inconsistent. It would be great to get an answer from you!
Hi Danny, of course the GMM is an IV estimation procedure which takes care of the issues you've outlined. I'll advise you to watch all the 9 series and read Roodman (2009, 2014) for more understanding of the GMM technique.
can you please also elobrate the upper and lower bounds of hansen j statistic, and sargan test, individually and the role of both AR(1) and AR(2) in interpreting the results
Hello from France and thanks a lot for the video and your work. I want to know if we don't need to test for unit roots if we want to use this estimator.
Hi, your videos have helped me a great deal... thanks very much. Please I’ve been having serious issues analyzing panel data. I wish you could be of help please.
Hi girl, thanks for the kind words on my videos, deeply appreciated. Sure, I'll do my best to assist anyone though not personally because that'll wear me out considering my own personal schedule and time constraints. But if you can follow my videos and practice what I teach, I'm positive you'll do just fine. I don't have all the answers because I'm still learning too. But whichever area I can guide you, I will. Thanks.
Ma Thanks for the Video on GMM Am working on a paper on GMM likewise. The one step Gmm are well defined. But I noticed that the diagnostic of sargen and Ar bond did not meet the requirements based on decision rule . Like wise in two way system Gmm. What do you suggest could be done.
Hi Jo, have you watched any of my GMM videos because i explained what to do. Also, I explained in the foundational video that Hansen J is more robust than Sargen stat. I advise you watch these videos for clarity. thanks.
Hello, I am very grateful for your great work. Before I start using GMM technique, I just want to test for endogeneity after having used Panels Corrected Standard errors (PCSEs). By endogeneity I mean the situation in which an explanatory variable is correlated with the error term. How can I test for endogeneity after having used Panels Corrected Standard errors (PCSEs) in STATA? I could not find any clue witrh regard to this topic. In generall, what post-estimation diagnostics tests am I supposed to do after the PCSE? Preferably in the STATA software package. Professor, I would be grateful for any guidance.
Thank you for this video. I'd like to ask is the SGMM ideal for estimating the dynamic impact when N is small (the number of cross sections is 16) and T is large (the time period is 40 years). If it's not - which method would be considered ideal? I'm estimating the dynamic impact of consolidation programs on income inequality. Thank you so very much again.
i have subscribed and looked your econometrics videos really they are constructive but for the time being i ask two questions on pane data analysis 1.how can i decide between static and dynamic panel?here I have watched your video which deals on selection on sgmm and dgmm but first how can i decide wether my model is dynamic or static panel 2.which tests are mandatory in panel data analysis? may God bells you from Ethiopia
Hi Sisayne, I am humbled by your kind remarks and your subscription...deeply appreciated. Engaging a static or dynamic analysis is at the discretion of the researcher. You may need to read related studies for more constructive reasons. My panel data videos contain post-estimation tests, kindly watch them. Thanks.
Hello dear thank you for your excellent contribution. In calculating xtabond2 I am facing the error by not getting the AR(2) value...how ever the value of AR(1) is quite significant with no error of serial correlation. I am using quarterly data and my t>n. So how can I get the value of AR(1) and AR(2) at the same time. If you have any relevant videos, please post the link so that I can see it. Thank You..
Thank you for a well structured and easily understandable presentation. I will like to ask, how long would a panel be to make it not appropriate to apply GMM?
Well Beri, those are matrix notations. Matrix lecture is a nut-cracker which I am not very good at. I just take the bit I can use and leave the rest. N, K, L are matrix notations for vectors using row*column (r x c). So, Nx1 means N rows and 1 coulmn and so on. You can read more about this.
I hope further clarification. I think the longitudinal and panel data are two different things. Longitudinal data is when the data is collected at two or more than two points in time while panel data contains cross-sectional data and time series data
Thank you dear maam for your wonderful lessons, could you pls shed some light on how to take the log of negative value. in my data set there is some negative value. looking forward to have your insights. thank you.
Hi Farhan, I know that some researchers do but I don't take log of negative values to prevent losing observations. You may want to check out other online resources on how to get around this. Thanks.
Great video! Are there any assumptions necessary for using a GMM estimator that cannot be empirically tested? (Are there any assumptions that would require a qualitative argument?)
Please what should be the range for the coefficient of the lagged dependent variable in the dynamic model given that the coefficient is significant at 5%?
Must follow Roodman(2009), she explained the similar way, thanks for explaining this paper, can You explain on panel var and structural var using Stata or R. THANKS IN ADVANCE
Thanks for the video, those are helpful! I was wondering if a SYS-GMM estimated could be valid even if the Diff-GMM doesn’t show a significant impact of the lag dependent variable.
Thanks, William for the positive feedback. Deeply appreciated. Yes, that can make a case for using the sys-GMM is the study intent is to show the persistency of the depvar. May I know from where (location) you are reaching me?
@@williambriggs9817 Awesome!!! I'll appreciate if you can share the link to my YT Channel with your students and colleagues in Canada for awareness...thanks!
hi, i have difficulty in using xtabond2 in stata. do you understand how to combine levels or lag, difference, and orthogonal? very happy if you can help me :)
Professor, I wonder if you could help me with a question. Is it possible to implement GMM even if my model includes interaction terms? The interaction terms are my main independent variable with the year dummies. I want to check the effect of this variable for each year. However, I suspect that I should also include the lag of the dependent variable.
Hi Zara, GMM accommodates interaction terms with the inclusion of lagged dependent variables. See Adeleye, B. N., Gershon, O., Ogundipe, A., Owolabi, O., Ogunrinola, I., and Adediran, O. (2020). “Comparative Investigation of the Growth-Poverty-Inequality Trilemma in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and Caribbean Countries”. Heliyon 6(2020) e05631 doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2020.e05631
Prof, thanks very much , I'm coming once more to the SGMM technique. I have a question (which you addressed but still have some doubts). I have have a Hansen of 1. When i used the collpase option as you adviced, the p-value still remains 1. I have changed both the external and internal instruments but nothing changes. So , I was wondering how can i Justify a Hansen's P-value of 1 (during a presentation).
Hi Thank you for your incredible channel. What about random effect models? My panel data is random effect and one of my explanatory variables is not station at level and Wooldridge test showed my panel data has autocorrelation problem. Shoud i use dynamic panel model? My panel data contains 7 cross-sections and daily data for more than 8 years (about 23000 cells) Thank yo
Hi Dr. Please I need your help. I estimate a panel dynamic panel with system GMM (T=10 and N=30), variables are I(1). I use variables in level in estimation (xtabond2), is this correct?
Thank you very much for your video, it was very helpful! I have a question regarding SGMM that I was hoping you'd be able to help with if that's ok? I have run the regression 'xtabond2 gdpg lgdpg d pop educ loginv, gmm(L2.(lgdpg d pop educ loginv), collapse) twostep robust nodiffsargan orthogonal' on stata to examine the relationship between public debt and economic growth (accounting for population, investment and education) however, I have 111 instruments and so the Hargan/Sansen tests suggest the model is weakened by many instruments. Do you know what the problem is/how to solve it?
Hi Dr Crunch. GMM model does not account for cross-sectional dependence panel data. So what model can I use for cross-sectional dependence endogenous panel data? Thank you.
Hi Mai, there are several of them: common correlated effects (CCE), CCE-MG, Augmented MG, dynamic CCE. Search online for studies that have used them. Regards.
Hi Mai, both N and T are almost the same. So, deploy techniques related to those suggested earlier since you have to test for stationarity due to T > 15. Support your analysis with GMM.
@@CrunchEconometrix Dear Dr. Do you mean the GMM model (xtabond2 command) is appropriate model? I would like to let you know more about my panel data. My data is small panel (T=20, N=21~25) macroeconomic indicators data. The data has heterokedasticity, endogeneity, cross sectional dependence, multicollinearity and non-stationarity (I(0) and I(1)) as well. Sory about missing information. Does GMM model deal with cross sectional dependence and I(0)-I(1) data? Thank you for your help.
Can you please explain how number of instruments are calculated in system GMM. I tried to search this throughout your lectures and from other sources as well but couldn't find it anywhere.
Dear professor, I've studied some papers they have used GMM even if their no. of cross sections are less than time period, can you explain that why it is so? It'll be really helpful for me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us❤️
Hi Zeenat, I refrain from commenting on what others do. I will only do my best to educate and teach the appropriate techniques. Kindly go through the references indicated at the end of my GMM videos on the nitty-gritty of the GMM technique. Kind regards.
Hello teacher, First of all, I would like to thank you for your videos which help us a lot. Please I have a question for you: I would like to estimate a dynamic model by applying the GMM for a number of individuals which is equal to 16 and T=10, is this feasible? If not, is there another method that I can apply for this case? Thanks in advance.
Hi Proffessor.Thank very much for your outstanding video on GMM. However, as a beginner, I am using system GMM, but the results on Hansen & Sargan kept giving significant values, what do u recommend?

I was watching your video on GMM and you made mention of some conditions that must be satisfied in order to use it. My question is on the N > T condition.
I want to do a cross country study (3 countries) with a total of 220 companies for 11 years. But someone said I can't use GMM because my cross section isn't just the companies but also the countries and the number of countries is less than the number of years.
What is your opinion? If truely I can't use GMM, what other dynamic panel estimator can I use?
Hi Edosa, my day is gr8, thanks. The GMM procedure is applicable because your cs are the 220 companies NOT the 3 countries.
A great lecture dear Professor Dr.
I have two questions ma'am professor....
1- How to test for endogeneity in the panel data in Stata?
2- If N
Hi Rain-Walker, I mentioned in the video that GMM corrects for endogeneity that is the essence of GMM in the first instance. I'd suggest you read those references on GMM as indicated in my video for better understanding. If N
Very Helpful❤
Please help to make me out from a great dilemma....
Is Engoneous variable can be instrumental variable in GMM analysis??
Pancha, endo variable CANNOT be used as IV.
Dear Bosede, in this video you have discussed about the range of Hansen test but what should be the range for Sargan test? if someone run the one step. Thank you :-)
I constrain myself to the Hansen stat for reasons given in the video. Thanks.
@@CrunchEconometrix thank you.
Awesome work. Indeed this is very useful and easy for scholars. Thanx for such efforts.
Thanks Muhd for the encouraging words. Kindly help to share in order to reach more people. They need to know...massallah!!!
Hi thank you for this video. Question for external instruments, if i dont have external ones, can I omit it to my code?
You need to put instruments in the iv( ). Otherwise, your code won't execute.
Thank u so much 😊
U're welcome, Zorni...may I know from where (location) you are reaching me?
Ma'am Videos are really helpful. can you make videos on MGARCH
Thanks for the encouraging feedback, Karan! I'll do the video once I understand the technique.
Awesome , Can you do a video where you apply both differenced and system GMM
Thanks Jonathan, yes that's part of the topics slated as you saw the outlined tutorials. Please be patient a bit, I'll definitely get to it. I'll appreciate if you can share this with your academic community and colleagues too. They need to know! 💕 😊
Always thanks for your invaluable lectures. May I request how to construct Gravity model in Eviews.
Hi Si, unfortunately I have no idea. You may need to check other online resources. Thanks.
In a study, if i conduct both fixed effect model regression (one independent variable turned out significant) and gmm regression (two significant variables turned out significant -including the FE model's variable).
What should i include in the paper for panel data analysis?
Or should i include both
Anik, using FE and GMM may depend on your empirical approach and if that addresses your research objectives. So, I will leave you to decide. Thanks
How are you Dr. Thank you very much for the videos. Please, I have a question. I would like to estimate a dynamic model by applying the GMM on eviews but the issue is on the part of presenting results, there is an error messsage saying number of instruments are greater than number of observations. So Dr, should I continue using GMM or there is something I should do?
Hi Takunda, due to the command-driven interface, I find Stata more robust for panel data analysis. I will advise you to post this to any EViews platform for constructive feedback. Thanks
Hello Dr. Addeleye,
Thank you for making econometrics look easy for students. I really appreciate your videos as they have served my understanding very well.
However, i would like to know in the event that T>N for a dynamic panel case, what estimation techniques are best? Also, can i use the Fully modified OLS and Dynamic OLS to estimate a dynamic panel model?
kindly awaiting your response.
With regards.
Thanks Talatu, I am also glad that you find the content very helpful. Kindly watch my videos on panel ARDL as that answers your query but unfortunately cannot say if FMOLS is applicable. May I know from where (location) you are reaching me?

Hi professor,
thank you very much for your comprehensive video.
I have one question left: I'm currently trying to estimate a demand function for air travel having panel data on the actual number of passengers who traveled and on the average fare on travel route level. Now my question is if I want to apply GMM such as Arrelano and Bond - is it somehow possible to also instrument the fare in order to deal with simultaneous equation bias? Because as of now I would use a fixed effects estimation with instrumental variables (xtivreg, fe in STATA) in order to estimate the demand function (where the fare is instrumented by a measure for market concentration). However, I'm certain that strict exogeneity can be an issue, which makes my estimates inconsistent.
It would be great to get an answer from you!
Hi Danny, of course the GMM is an IV estimation procedure which takes care of the issues you've outlined. I'll advise you to watch all the 9 series and read Roodman (2009, 2014) for more understanding of the GMM technique.
can you please also elobrate the upper and lower bounds of hansen j statistic, and sargan test, individually and the role of both AR(1) and AR(2) in interpreting the results
Hi Ishtiya, I indicated references at the end of my videos to solidify understanding and answers to questions. Kindly go through any of them, thanks.
Hello from France and thanks a lot for the video and your work. I want to know if we don't
need to test for unit roots if we want to use this estimator.
Hi Sabir, unit root test not required.
Hi, your videos have helped me a great deal... thanks very much. Please I’ve been having serious issues analyzing panel data. I wish you could be of help please.
Hi girl, thanks for the kind words on my videos, deeply appreciated. Sure, I'll do my best to assist anyone though not personally because that'll wear me out considering my own personal schedule and time constraints. But if you can follow my videos and practice what I teach, I'm positive you'll do just fine. I don't have all the answers because I'm still learning too. But whichever area I can guide you, I will. Thanks.
Ma Thanks for the Video on GMM
Am working on a paper on GMM likewise.
The one step Gmm are well defined. But I noticed that the diagnostic of sargen and Ar bond did not meet the requirements based on decision rule . Like wise in two way system Gmm.
What do you suggest could be done.
Hi Jo, have you watched any of my GMM videos because i explained what to do. Also, I explained in the foundational video that Hansen J is more robust than Sargen stat. I advise you watch these videos for clarity. thanks.
Thank you for your effort sir! Could you explain what are N and T and why N should be less than T?
Hi Mukha, please read the articles listed at the end of the video for details on GMM. N = cross-sections. T = time dimensions.
Can u please share a TH-cam video on how to how to do moderation or mediation in System GMM method

Hi Rohtash, thanks for your suggestions. Deeply appreciated 🙏
Hello, I am very grateful for your great work. Before I start using GMM technique, I just want to test for endogeneity after having used Panels Corrected Standard errors (PCSEs). By endogeneity I mean the situation in which an explanatory variable is correlated with the error term. How can I test for endogeneity after having used Panels Corrected Standard errors (PCSEs) in STATA? I could not find any clue witrh regard to this topic. In generall, what post-estimation diagnostics tests am I supposed to do after the PCSE? Preferably in the STATA software package. Professor, I would be grateful for any guidance.
I have no idea about PSCE. You may seek other online resources.
Thank you for this video. I'd like to ask is the SGMM ideal for estimating the dynamic impact when N is small (the number of cross sections is 16) and T is large (the time period is 40 years). If it's not - which method would be considered ideal? I'm estimating the dynamic impact of consolidation programs on income inequality. Thank you so very much again.
Hi Angie, panel ARDL techniques are applicable. I have videos on them. Kindly search within my Channel. Thanks.
What is the best model for a small sample panel with T>N , the heterogenous slops and cross section dependent. thanks.

@@CrunchEconometrix i have N=7 and T=21 and cant increase it what should i do in your opinion?
Sarah, transform the yearly data into quarterly that gives you 84 quarterly observations.

i have subscribed and looked your econometrics videos really they are constructive but for the time being i ask two questions on pane data analysis
1.how can i decide between static and dynamic panel?here I have watched your video which deals on selection on sgmm and dgmm but first how can i decide wether my model is dynamic or static panel
2.which tests are mandatory in panel data analysis? may God bells you from Ethiopia
Hi Sisayne, I am humbled by your kind remarks and your subscription...deeply appreciated. Engaging a static or dynamic analysis is at the discretion of the researcher. You may need to read related studies for more constructive reasons. My panel data videos contain post-estimation tests, kindly watch them. Thanks.
Hello Prof. Thanks for this insight. Please can one use GMM to estimate panel data without including the lag of the DV?
Thanks for the encouraging feedback, Horvey. Deeply appreciated! GMM is a dynamic estimator which require the inclusion of the lagged depvar.
@@CrunchEconometrix Thanks Prof
Hi. Thank you for the video. Quick question, what model or estimator should I use if my panel data has small N? Or the T is greater than N?
Hi, JC use any Panel ARDL technique (MG, PMG, DFE). Watch my videos on them.
@@CrunchEconometrix Thank you!
Hello dear thank you for your excellent contribution.
In calculating xtabond2 I am facing the error by not getting the AR(2) value...how ever the value of AR(1) is quite significant with no error of serial correlation. I am using quarterly data and my t>n. So how can I get the value of AR(1) and AR(2) at the same time. If you have any relevant videos, please post the link so that I can see it. Thank You..
Hi Dr. Faisal, GMM is only applicable to N>T panel structure.
Can I use the GMM for an Annual Time Series data that has been converted to Quarterly data ?
Hi Alfred, yes you can. But this video is based on GMM using a panel data NOT time series.
Thank you for a well structured and easily understandable presentation. I will like to ask, how long would a panel be to make it not appropriate to apply GMM?
Hi Matthew, thanks for the kind words on this presentation. Humbly appreciated. On your query, if N
Thank you for the video professor. Please, how do you define N, K and L? as presented in the third minute, 21st second(3:21)
Well Beri, those are matrix notations. Matrix lecture is a nut-cracker which I am not very good at. I just take the bit I can use and leave the rest. N, K, L are matrix notations for vectors using row*column (r x c). So, Nx1 means N rows and 1 coulmn and so on. You can read more about this.
@@CrunchEconometrix wonderful lectures indeed.....
I hope further clarification. I think the longitudinal and panel data are two different things. Longitudinal data is when the data is collected at two or more than two points in time while panel data contains cross-sectional data and time series data
Hi Abdul, they are used interchangeably. Do further findings online.
Thank you dear maam for your wonderful lessons, could you pls shed some light on how to take the log of negative value. in my data set there is some negative value. looking forward to have your insights. thank you.
Hi Farhan, I know that some researchers do but I don't take log of negative values to prevent losing observations. You may want to check out other online resources on how to get around this. Thanks.
Great video! Are there any assumptions necessary for using a GMM estimator that cannot be empirically tested? (Are there any assumptions that would require a qualitative argument?)
Hi Noah, honestly not to my knowledge...and thanks for the positive feedback. Deeply appreciated!

Hi Sobiya, I don't quite get your query.
Please what should be the range for the coefficient of the lagged dependent variable in the dynamic model given that the coefficient is significant at 5%?
Kofi, I'm not aware of any range of values for the coefficient of the lagged depvar.
@@CrunchEconometrix Thank you very much
can you apply GMM for time series data analysis?
There's GMM for time series data but the mechanics are different.

hi, i have difficulty in using xtabond2 in stata. do you understand how to combine levels or lag, difference, and orthogonal? very happy if you can help me :)
Viary, I have 9 detailed practical videos on GMM estimation. Find the time to watch them as they address all your queries. Thanks.
Professor, I wonder if you could help me with a question. Is it possible to implement GMM even if my model includes interaction terms? The interaction terms are my main independent variable with the year dummies. I want to check the effect of this variable for each year. However, I suspect that I should also include the lag of the dependent variable.
Hi Zara, GMM accommodates interaction terms with the inclusion of lagged dependent variables. See Adeleye, B. N., Gershon, O., Ogundipe, A., Owolabi, O., Ogunrinola, I., and Adediran, O. (2020). “Comparative Investigation of the Growth-Poverty-Inequality Trilemma in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America and Caribbean Countries”.

Prof, thanks very much , I'm coming once more to the SGMM technique. I have a question (which you addressed but still have some doubts). I have have a Hansen of 1. When i used the collpase option as you adviced, the p-value still remains 1. I have changed both the external and internal instruments but nothing changes. So , I was wondering how can i Justify a Hansen's P-value of 1 (during a presentation).
Asante, you can't if someone on the panel knows about GMM. You may need to change your regressors and run several simulations.
@@CrunchEconometrix thanks my beloved professor

Hi Dr. Please I need your help. I estimate a panel dynamic panel with system GMM (T=10 and N=30), variables are I(1). I use variables in level in estimation (xtabond2), is this correct?
Hi Fathia, I showed the practicals in the rest GMM videos. Kindly watch.
Can you do a dynamic panel with IV estimation?
Sure. There are papers online with that approach.
Thank you very much for your video, it was very helpful! I have a question regarding SGMM that I was hoping you'd be able to help with if that's ok? I have run the regression 'xtabond2 gdpg lgdpg d pop educ loginv, gmm(L2.(lgdpg d pop educ loginv), collapse) twostep robust nodiffsargan orthogonal' on stata to examine the relationship between public debt and economic growth (accounting for population, investment and education) however, I have 111 instruments and so the Hargan/Sansen tests suggest the model is weakened by many instruments. Do you know what the problem is/how to solve it?
Elliot, your specification bloated your instruments. Reduce the variables in the gmm( ) set.
Hi Dr Crunch. GMM model does not account for cross-sectional dependence panel data. So what model can I use for cross-sectional dependence endogenous panel data? Thank you.
Hi Mai, there are several of them: common correlated effects (CCE), CCE-MG, Augmented MG, dynamic CCE. Search online for studies that have used them. Regards.
@@CrunchEconometrix Thank you Dr. One more question is what is the best model for my data which is small panel (T=20, N=21~25).
Hi Mai, both N and T are almost the same. So, deploy techniques related to those suggested earlier since you have to test for stationarity due to T > 15. Support your analysis with GMM.
@@CrunchEconometrix Dear Dr. Do you mean the GMM model (xtabond2 command) is appropriate model? I would like to let you know more about my panel data.
