Dear Statausers
I have a question on the poolability of data and tests associated with it. I
am stacking data from 2004-2006 to run Censored Qunatile regressions and
control for the years using year dummies. Following are some of the
questions.
1. One reason to stack data was to increase the number of observations
(roughly 14000) and thus the robustness of the estimates. The data is
collected for same variables but different individuals (this is a farm level
data). Do I still need to do poolability tests.
2. I checked the archives for any answers that I may get for poolability
tests and found a discussion about it earlier. Literature (Baltagi, 1981,
Journal of Econometrics) suggests that Chow tests that was recommended to
test for poolability of data assumes homosckadasticity of data. In cases of
heterosckdasticity what would be the best way to do a poolability tests in
censored quantile regressions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Sachin

different groups (each represented by the dummy variable) is not unevenly
distributed (i.e., there might be too many 1's or 0's in some groups) so I
tried making my groupings more coarse so as to reduce the number of dummy
variables. And yet, with the dummy variables down from 50 to 10, I find the
standard errors missing.
