Subject   st: how to interprete my monte carlo simulation results for cce estimation?
Date   Fri, 29 Apr 2011 17:17:54 +0800 (CST)

Dear statalist:
    The following code is my program to probe the cce estimation property of a 
panel regression, I try to simulate it with common factor loading. The target 
beta is 1, My problems is that why the estimated beta is usually larger than 1, 
My problems are as follows:
 1. Is there any error in my code?  Especially for simulate a panel dataset in 
stata?
 2. How to change it ?
Thank you very much! 

global numsims 1000
global numobs 300 
program simcce
    version 11.2 
    tempname simfile
    postfile `simfile' b2 se2 t2 bias using simresults, replace
    quietly {
       forvalues i = 1/$numsims { 
         drop _all
         set obs $numobs
egen int id=seq(), from(1) to ($numobs)  block(20)
sort id
by id: gen int time=_n
xtset id time
gen ft=rnormal()    /* the factor loading */

         scalar b2 =_b[x]
         scalar se2 = _se[x]
         scalar t2 = (_b[x]-2)/_se[x]
         scalar bias=_b[x]-1
         post `simfile' (b2) (se2) (t2) (bias)
      }
    }
    postclose `simfile'
end
simcce
