The effect of non-normality on the power of the test of a two-way classification, fixed effects model--no interaction
… of variance test for a two-way classification, fixed effects model (with two replicates and no interaction). Most of the populations considered were only moderately non-normal, that is, only slightly peaked or skewed. We first considered the effect of a change in skewness for a fixed kurtosis. …

Political Intrusion on Firms: Effects of Elections on Bank Lending in India
… 2010 to 2015. Using conditional logistic and fixed effects regression models, the results suggests that firms located in regions aligned politically with the ruling party enjoy possible preferential access to financing from banks. We find average productivity efficiency loss of 2.77% in the …

Essays on Quantile Regression for Dynamic Panel Data Models
… regression methods for dynamic panel data with fixed effects. We consider a penalized strategy designed to improve the properties of the dynamic panel data quantile regression instrumental variables estimator. The penalty involves l1 shrinkage of the fixed effects. We discuss a tuning parameter …

A Bayesian solution to non-convergence of crossed random effects models
… of subjects and stimuli, crossed random effects models simultaneously take into account both fixed effects and random effects of the subjects and stimuli; however, maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimation often encounter convergence problems, …

A variance shift model for outlier detection and estimation in linear and linear mixed models
… methods in detecting outliers in linear fixed effects analysis. The extension of these methods to detecting outliers in linear mixed models has not been entirely successful, in the literature. This thesis focuses on a variance shift outlier model as an approach to detecting and assessing …

Performance of AIC-Selected Spatial Covariance Structures for fMRI Data
… Type I error rates are presented for the fixed effects using the the AIC chosen covariance structure. Power of the fixed effects are also discussed.

The Rise of the Maquiladoras and Crimes in Mexico
… types of crimes in Mexico from 1998 to 2012. A fixed effects specification and an instrumental variable approach with regional and time fixed effects are employed to compare the crime rates in municipalities that were heavily exposed to local factory openings to municipalities that did not …

Food Environment and Childhood Obesity
… panel estimation, it was found that the fixed effects model fit the data best. Results indicate that an additional supermarket within a one-mile radial of the census neighborhood block center will bring down childhood obesity prevalence by 0.58 percent, whereas associations between …

Three essays on nonlinear panel data models and quantile regression analysis
… the properties of parametric and semiparametric fixed effects estimators for nonlinear panel data models. The first chapter focuses on fixed effects maximum likelihood estimators for binary choice models, such as probit, logit, and linear probability model. These models are widely used in …

Power analysis for a mixed effects logistic regression model
In herd health studies, the mixed effects logistic regression model with random herd effects are commonly used for modeling clustered binary data. These models are well developed and widely used in the literature, among which is the logistic-normal regression model. In contrast to the rich …

Impact of the tax burden on long run economic growth: A BRICS perspective
… techniques examined in this study are: the fixed effects model, random effects model and the pooled regression model. In evaluating the tax effect on GDP growth, the paper reviews both theoretical and empirical literature. In line with literature that seems to prefer the fixed effect …

Labor risk sharing
… hours. Our empirical specification allows for fixed effects that correspond to different Pareto weights for the agents. Our dataset, an unusually long panel survey spanning over 160 months conducted in 16 villages in Thailand, allows us to deal with these fixed effects. Our results lead us to …

The effect of disability on labour market outcomes
… Data was analysed as a panel to account for the effects over time. A pooled OLS, a random effects and a fixed effects model were applied on the panel dataset to explain the effects of disability, disability type and disability grants on labour market outcomes. To determine which of these models …

High-Dimensional Statistics for Causal Inference and Panel Data
… and industrial organization—where standard fixed effects estimators may fail. The first chapter identifies a previously overlooked source of bias in fixed effects panel estimators, which I term dynamic bias. This bias arises when dynamic feedback—where past outcomes influence current …

Outsourcing And The Pupil Transportation Industry In Minnesota: An Economic Evaluation
… to outsource. The first stage results from fixed-effects two stage least squares (2SLS) regression show that the two instruments, population density and the number of school days increase the likelihood of outsourcing while wages have a negative effect. The second stage results, from the …

Effects Of E85 Fueling Stations And State Incentives On Private Flex Fuel Vehicle Demand
… purchase loans, and tax exemption. Using fixed-effects linear model, random-effects tobit model, and fixed-effects instrumental variable model with fueling station incentives and government FFV fleet incentives as instruments, the results confirmed that increasing the density of E85 …

Commercial real estate operating expenses : an analysis of office operating expenses using NCREIF property level data
… analyzed using two panel regressions. One with fixed effects for buildings to exclude all idiosyncratic characteristics of properties and another with fixed effects for time that captured the building differences. The analysis shows that the elasticities of these expenses to changes in income …

The effects of syndicators and risk management on equity pricing of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit
… of syndicator fees and other syndicator-specific fixed effects on credit prices. Findings suggest that syndicator fixed effects and fees impact pricing, as do certain tax structure characteristics of the LIHTC developments. Developers appear to be less pricesensitive than investors, reflecting …
