pdynmc (version 0.9.12)

sargan.fct: Sargan test.

Description

sargan.fct tests the validity of the overidentifying restrictions.

Usage

sargan.fct(object)

Value

An object of class `htest` which contains the Sargan test statistic and corresponding p-value for the null hypothesis that the overidentifying restrictions are valid.

Arguments

object

An object of class `pdynmc`.

Details

The null hypothesis is that the overidentifying restrictions are valid. The test statistic is computed as proposed by Sar1958estimation;textualpdynmc. As noted by Bow2002testing;textualpdynmc and Win2005;textualpdynmc, the test statistic is weakened by many instruments and inconsistent in the presence of heteroscedasticity according to Roo2009StJ;textualpdynmc.

Examples

## Load data
data(ABdata, package = "pdynmc")
dat <- ABdata
dat[,c(4:7)] <- log(dat[,c(4:7)])
dat <- dat[c(140:0), ]

## Code example
m1 <- pdynmc(dat = dat, varname.i = "firm", varname.t = "year",
    use.mc.diff = TRUE, use.mc.lev = FALSE, use.mc.nonlin = FALSE,
    include.y = TRUE, varname.y = "emp", lagTerms.y = 2,
    fur.con = TRUE, fur.con.diff = TRUE, fur.con.lev = FALSE,
    varname.reg.fur = c("wage", "capital", "output"), lagTerms.reg.fur = c(1,2,2),
    include.dum = TRUE, dum.diff = TRUE, dum.lev = FALSE, varname.dum = "year",
    w.mat = "iid.err", std.err = "corrected", estimation = "onestep",
    opt.meth = "none")
