Empirical likelihood based inference for fixed effects varying coefficient panel data models

Abstract: In this paper local empirical likelihood-based inference for non-parametric varying coefficient panel data models with fixed effects is investigated. First, we show that the naive empirical likelihood ratio is asymptotically standard chi-squared when undersmoothing is employed. The ratio is self-scale invariant and the plug-in estimate of the limiting variance is not needed. Second, mean-corrected and residual-adjusted empirical likelihood ratios are proposed. The main interest of these techniques is that without undersmoothing, both also have standard chi-squared limit distributions. As a by product, we propose also two empirical maximum likelihood estimators of the varying coefficient models and their derivatives. We also obtain the asymptotic distribution of these estimators. Furthermore, a non parametric version of the Wilk?s theorem is derived. To show the feasibility of the technique and to analyse its small sample properties, using empirical likelihood-based inference we implement a Monte Carlo simulation exercise and we also illustrated the proposed technique in an empirical analysis about the production efficiency of the European Union?s companies.
