Fixed effects model

This is in contrast to random effects models and mixed models in which all or some of the model parameters are considered as random variables.

A mixed model (or more precisely mixed error-component model) is a statistical model containing both fixed effects and random effects.

This is in contrast to random effects models and mixed models in which all or some of the model parameters are considered as random variables.

In econometrics, random effects models are used in the analysis of hierarchical or panel data when one assumes no fixed effects (it allows for individual effects).

In panel data where longitudinal observations exist for the same subject, fixed effects represent the subject-specific means.

Two important models are the fixed effects model and the random effects model.

The Durbin–Wu–Hausman test is often used to discriminate between the fixed and the random effects models.

The Hausman test can be also used to differentiate between fixed effects model and random effects model in panel data.

Their outcome of interest was the number of patents filed by firms, where they wanted to develop methods to control for the firm fixed effects.

In statistics, a fixed effects model is a statistical model in which the model parameters are fixed or non-random quantities.

In statistics, a fixed effects model is a statistical model in which the model parameters are fixed or non-random quantities.

In many applications including econometrics and biostatistics a fixed effects model refers to a regression model in which the group means are fixed (non-random) as opposed to a random effects model in which the group means are a random sample from a population.

In panel data analysis the term fixed effects estimator (also known as the within estimator) is used to refer to an estimator for the coefficients in the regression model including those fixed effects (one time-invariant intercept for each subject).

Such models assist in controlling for omitted variable bias due to unobserved heterogeneity when this heterogeneity is constant over time.

This heterogeneity can be removed from the data through differencing, for example by subtracting the group-level average over time, or by taking a first difference which will remove any time invariant components of the model.

If the random effects assumption holds, the random effects estimator is more efficient than the fixed effects estimator. If the error terms u_{it} are homoskedastic with no serial correlation, the fixed effects estimator is more efficient than the first difference estimator.

However, if this assumption does not hold, the random effects estimator is not consistent.

Strict exogeneity with respect to the idiosyncratic error term u_{it} is still required.

Since \alpha_{i} is not observable, it cannot be directly controlled for.

One is to add a dummy variable for each individual i>1 (omitting the first individual because of multicollinearity).

If the error terms u_{it} are homoskedastic with no serial correlation, the fixed effects estimator is more efficient than the first difference estimator.

If the error terms u_{it} are homoskedastic with no serial correlation, the fixed effects estimator is more efficient than the first difference estimator.

If u_{it} follows a random walk, however, the first difference estimator is more efficient.
