Speci?cation tests and analysis of covariance
A linear model commonly used to assess the e⁄ects of both
quantitative and qualitative factors is postulated as
0y = α +β x +εi,t i,t i,t i,ti,t
where8i = 1, ..,N,8t = 1, ..,T
α and β = (β ,β , ...,β ) are 11 and 1K vectors ofit 1it 2it Kit
parameters that vary across i and t,
x = (x , ...,x ) is a 1K vector of exogenous variables,it 1it Kit
u is the error term.it

Random coe¢ cients models
Speci?cation tests and analysis of covariance
Three aspects of the estimated regression coe¢ cients can be
tested:
1 the homogeneity of regression slope coe¢ cients
2 they ofion intercept coe¢ cients.
3 the time stability of parameters (slopes and constants). We
will not consider this issue (not speci c to panel data models)
here.

We assume that parameters are constant over time, but can vary
across individuals.
0y = α +β x +εi,t i i,t i,ti
Three types of restrictions can be imposed on this model.
Regression slope coe¢ cients are identical, and intercepts are not
(model with individual / unobserved e⁄ects).
0y = α +β x +εi,t i i,t i,t
Regression intercepts are the same, and slope coe¢ cients are not
(unusual).
0y = α+β x +εi,t i,t i,ti
Both slope and intercept coe¢ cients are the same (homogeneous
/ pooled panel).
0y = α+β x +εi,t i,t i,t

De nition
An heterogeneous panel data model is a model in which all
parameters (constant and slope coe¢ cients) vary accross
individuals.
De nition
An homogeneous panel data model (or pooled model) is a
model in which all parameters (constant and slope coe¢ cients) are
common
