Subject   st: Dynamic RE-Probit, Likelihoodratio test for rho=0, strange results
Date   Fri, 21 May 2010 09:56:53 +0200

Hello,

I want to use a Correlated Dynamic Random Effects Probit (xtprobit) to analyze the probability of social assistance receipt (0/1) conditional on my explanatory variables including the lagged dependent variable. I am using a balanced panel over 3 years. I want to use the Wooldridge Estimator to solve the initial conditions problem.

I started with a simple model and sequentially added additional variables including the individual means for the timevariant variables and the social assistance-status in t1. But now I have problems with the interpretation of the panel-level variance component of my Random Effects Modell. The Likelihood-ratio test of rho sometimes tells me, that the panel estimator is not different from the pooled estimator (output 1 below) and sometimes is (output 2 below). This seems strange to me because model 1 is actually nested in modell 2.
Do interpret the test right (this is what the stata-documentation tells me)?

Now my questions are:
Should I pay attention to the likelihood-ratio test or can I ignore it?
What is the appropriate model, a pooled probit model or the random effects model? (in order to take care about the initial conditions problem I think it should be the RE-Model with the Wooldridge estimator)

I would be thankful for any suggestions and remarks
Jasmin
