st: RE: Reference for clustered standard errors in Stata

["Tobias Pfaff" <tobias.pfaff@uni-muenster.de>]

I now found a paragraph in Cameron & Miller (2011) that nicely describes the
differences:

"White (1984, p.134-142) presented formal theorems that justify use of
formula 1.7 for OLS with a multivariate dependent variable, a result
directly applicable to balanced clusters. Liang and Zeger (1986) proposed
this method for estimation for a range of models much wider than OLS; see
sections 6 and 7 of their paper for a range of extensions to formula 1.7.
Arellano (1987) considered the fixed effects estimator in linear panel
models, and Rogers (1993) popularized this method in applied econometrics by
incorporating it in Stata."

I guess that's all I wanted to know. The correct reference for the formula
implemented in Stata seems to depend on the specific model that is estimated
(OLS, fixed effects, etc.). Sorry for bothering Statalist with a question
that I eventually could answer myself. But maybe it's of use for others as
well.

Regards,
Tobias

Betreff: Reference for clustered standard errors in Stata

Dear Statalisters,

What is the correct reference for the formula used by Stata for clustered
standard errors?

I didn't find anything in the documentation and I find different references
in the literature. For example:
White (1984), Liang and Zeger (1986), Arellano (1987), Rogers (1993)

Does anybody know what I should cite?

Thanks very much,
Tobias
