Dear All, I need some help in choosing between some panel data
estimators. I have a production function in which choice of input
levels may be correlated with individual effects in which case a
Hausman-Taylor type estimator may be appropriate (is that right?). My
confusion however is that an initial model under the fixed effects
assumption fails to reject the null hypothesis that all fixed effects
are equal to zero. If there are no fixed effects why should one
estimate a Hausman-Taylor type model which assumes a correlation
between unobserved individual-level random effect and inputs? Indeed,
the xthtaylor estimator also reports sigma_u=0 and therefore rho=0.
Does this estimator them make any sense?



Fred
