pht: Hausman--Taylor Estimator for Panel Data

Description

The Hausman--Taylor estimator is an instrumental variable estimator without external instruments (function deprecated).

Usage

pht(
  formula,
  data,
  subset,
  na.action,
  model = c("ht", "am", "bms"),
  index = NULL,
  ...
)
# S3 method for pht
summary(object, ...)
# S3 method for summary.pht
print(
  x,
  digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 2),
  width = getOption("width"),
  subset = NULL,
  ...
)

Value

An object of class c("pht", "plm", "panelmodel").

A "pht" object contains the same elements as plm

object, with a further argument called varlist which describes the typology of the variables. It has summary and print.summary methods.

Arguments

formula

a symbolic description for the model to be estimated,

data

a data.frame,

subset

see lm() for "plm", a character or numeric vector indicating a subset of the table of coefficient to be printed for "print.summary.plm",

na.action

see lm(),

model

one of "ht" for Hausman--Taylor, "am" for Amemiya--MaCurdy and "bms" for Breusch--Mizon--Schmidt,

index

the indexes,

...

further arguments.

object, x

an object of class "plm",

digits

digits,

width

the maximum length of the lines in the print output,

Details

pht estimates panels models using the Hausman--Taylor estimator, Amemiya--MaCurdy estimator, or Breusch--Mizon--Schmidt estimator, depending on the argument model. The model is specified as a two--part formula, the second part containing the exogenous variables.
