OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Bootstrap inference for fixed effect models
The maximum likelihood estimator of nonlinear panel data models with fixed effects is asymptotically biased under rectangular-array asymptotics. The literature has devoted substantial effort to devising methods to correct the maximum-likelihood estimator for its bias as a means to salvage standard inferential procedures. We show that the (recursive, parametric) bootstrap replicates the distribution of the (uncorrected) maximum-likelihood estimator in large samples. This justifies the use of confidence sets constructed via conventional bootstrap methods. No adjustment for the presence of bias needs to be made.
