| bias_corr {capybara} | R Documentation |
Asymptotic bias correction after fitting binary choice models with a 1,2,3-way error component
Description
Post-estimation routine to substantially reduce the incidental parameter bias problem. Applies the analytical bias correction derived by Fernández-Val and Weidner (2016) and Hinz, Stammann, and Wanner (2020) to obtain bias-corrected estimates of the structural parameters and is currently restricted to binomial with 1,2,3-way fixed effects.
Usage
bias_corr(object = NULL, l = 0L, panel_structure = c("classic", "network"))
Arguments
object |
an object of class "feglm".
|
l |
integer indicating a bandwidth for the estimation of spectral densities proposed by Hahn and Kuersteiner (2011). The default is zero, which should be used if all regressors are assumed to be strictly exogenous with respect to the idiosyncratic error term. In the presence of weakly exogenous regressors, e.g. lagged outcome variables, we suggest to choose a bandwidth between one and four. Note that the order of factors to be partialed out is important for bandwidths larger than zero. |
panel_structure |
a string equal to "classic" or "network" which determines the structure of the
panel used. "classic" denotes panel structures where for example the same cross-sectional units are observed
several times (this includes pseudo panels). "network" denotes panel structures where for example bilateral
trade flows are observed for several time periods. Default is "classic".

Value
A named list of classes "bias_corr" and "feglm".
