Dear all,
I am running xtpmg regressions for mg and pmg. The problem is that
when I run (hausman mg pmg, sigmamore), even using the (sigmamore)
option, a negative test statistic is returned.
In a 1984 Econometric article (p. 1226), Hausman and McFadden
interpret a negative H score as strong evidence of failure to reject
the null hypothesis that the difference in coefficient values is not
systematic.
My question is: Is there anything else I can or should try to do to
produce a positive H statistic? Before I take the negative H score as
evidence that IIA holds, I would like to be sure that I am not missing
something obvious.
Thanks very much. Your suggestions are be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mark
