Question: Suppose you have a model which is panel data, which looks like this: Y i t = t + 1 X i t + i
Suppose you have a model which is panel data, which looks like this:
Yit=t+1Xit+it
That is, an observation is an individual (i) at a time (t). Your model, as you can see above, assumes there is a fixed "time effect" for each period. If you had lots of time periods, this would be difficult to estimate, since there would be lots of t to estimate. You decide on a difference model. Define:
Yit=YitYi(t1)
Xit=XitXi(t1)
it=iti(t1)
You know that E[it | Xit] = 0 for any t. Find an equation for Yit in term of the other objects. Suggest how you could find the value of 1 without estimating all of the time period effects.
