有一个疑问,按照文献的说法xtscc是适合大N小T的,,但使用手册上说大N小T慎用啊?
截取一段别人的引言
“xtscc produces Driscoll and Kraay (1998) standard errors for coefficients estimated by pooled OLS/WLS or fixed-effects (within) regression. depvar is the dependent variable and varlist is an (optional) list of explanatory variables.
The error structure is assumed to be heteroskedastic, autocorrelated up to some lag, and possibly correlated between the groups (panels). These standard errors are robust to very general forms of cross-sectional ("spatial") and temporal dependence when the time dimension becomes large. However, because this nonparametric technique of estimating standard errors does not place any restrictions on the limiting behavior of the number of panels, the size of the cross-sectional dimension in finite samples does not constitute a constraint on feasibility - even if the number of panels is much larger than T. Nevertheless, because the estimator is based on an asymptotic theory one should be somewhat cautious with applying this estimator to panel datasets with a large number of groups that have only a short number of observations.
