Grouped effects estimators in fixed effects models
固定效应模型中的分组效应估计量
We consider estimation of nonlinear panel data models with common and individual specific parameters. Fixed effects estimators are known to suffer from the incidental parameters problem, which can lead to large biases in estimates of common parameters. Pooled estimators, which ignore heterogeneity across individuals, are also generally inconsistent. We assume that individuals in the data are grouped on multiple levels where groups are defined by some observable external…
