Study Notes
- Panel data comprises both time series and cross-sectional elements.
- A panel keeps the same entities and measures some quantity about them over time.
- Pooled regression assumes that the average values of variables and relationships between them are constant over time and across all cross-sectional units.
- Making full use of panel data has important advantages in addressing a broader range of issues and examining how variables change dynamically over time.
- Seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) framework can be used to model several closely related variables over time.
- SUR allows for the contemporaneous relationships between the error terms in the equations.
- Fixed effects models allow the intercept in the regression model to differ cross-sectionally but not over time, while all of the slope estimates are fixed both cross-sectionally and over time.
- There are balanced and unbalanced panel data, and the same techniques are used in both cases.
- The fixed effects model decomposes the disturbance term into an individual specific effect and the remainder disturbance that varies over time and entities.
- The fixed effects model is appropriate when there are unobserved individual-specific effects that are correlated with the regressors.
- Panel data techniques assume a constant relationship between explained and explanatory variables cross-sectionally and over time.
- The fixed effects model assumes that the intercepts are constant across time and vary across entities.
- The within transformation involves subtracting the time-mean of each entity away from the values of the variable.
- Time-fixed effects models assume that the average value of y changes over time but not cross-sectionally.
- A two-way error component model combines entity-fixed and time-fixed effects.
- The UK retail banking sector has undergone significant changes over the past 30 years due to deregulation, mergers, and technology.
- Concerns have been raised about the lack of sufficient competitive forces in British banking.
- The high concentration of market share among a small number of large banks and recurring profits are cited as evidence of insufficient competition.
- Restrictive practices and barriers to entry are also mentioned as potential issues.
- Fixed effects models can be used to investigate competition in banking.
- Banks in the US have been experiencing a decline in profitability since the 1980s.
- The decline in profitability is attributed to factors such as increased competition, deregulation, and technological advancements.
- The profitability of banks is also affected by macroeconomic conditions.
- However, revenue to total assets is largely unaffected by macroeconomic conditions.
- Banks appear to have been more profitable when GDP was high.
- Banks have responded to the decline in profitability by cutting costs and increasing efficiency.
- Consolidation has also occurred in the banking industry, with larger banks acquiring smaller ones.
- The number of banks in the US has decreased significantly since the 1980s.
- The decline in the number of banks has been more pronounced in rural areas.
- Despite the decline in the number of banks, access to banking services has not significantly decreased.
- The random effects model proposes different intercept terms for each entity.
- The intercepts are constant over time, and the relationships between variables are the same cross-sectionally and temporally.
- The intercepts for each cross-sectional unit are assumed to arise from a common intercept plus a random variable.
- The random deviation of each entity's intercept term is measured by the random variable.
- The random effects panel model requires that the cross-sectional error term has zero mean, is independent of the observation error term, has constant variance, and is independent of the explanatory variables.
- Parameters are estimated consistently but inefficiently by OLS, and a generalized least squares procedure is usually used.
- The transformation involved in this GLS procedure is to subtract a weighted mean of the observations over time.
- The random effects model is valid when the composite error term is uncorrelated with all of the explanatory variables.
- The random effects model has fewer parameters to estimate and should produce more efficient estimation than the fixed effects approach.
- A study by de Haas and van Lelyveld (2006) employs a random effects panel regression to examine whether domestic and foreign banks react differently to changes in economic activity and banking crises.
