Thus, you can indicate as many clustervars as desired (e.g. Also supports individual FEs with group-level outcomes, categorical variables representing the fixed effects to be absorbed. Note that both options are econometrically valid, and aggregation() should be determined based on the economics behind each specification. 27(2), pages 617-661. In an i.categorical#c.continuous interaction, we will do one check: we count the number of categories where c.continuous is always zero. Be wary that different accelerations often work better with certain transforms. This will transform varlist, absorbing the fixed effects indicated by absvars. For more than two sets of fixed effects, there are no known results that provide exact degrees-of-freedom as in the case above. reghdfeis a generalization of areg(and xtreg,fe, xtivreg,fe) for multiple levels of fixed effects, and multi-way clustering. It's downloadable from github. matthieugomez commented on May 19, 2015. 2. The most useful are count range sd median p##. In the current version of fect, users can use five methods to make counterfactual predictions by specifying the method option: fe (fixed effect), ife (interactive fixed effects), mc (matrix completion), bspline (unit-specific bsplines) and polynomial (unit-specific time trends). Apply the algorithms of Spielman and Teng (2004) and Kelner et al (2013) and solve the Dual Randomized Kaczmarz representation of the problem, in order to attain a nearly-linear time estimator. Since the categorical variable has a lot of unique levels, fitting the model using GLM.jlpackage consumes a lot of RAM. You signed in with another tab or window. I have tried to do this with the reghdfe command without success. Memorandum 14/2010, Oslo University, Department of Economics, 2010. Specifically, the individual and group identifiers must uniquely identify the observations (so for instance the command "isid patent_id inventor_id" will not raise an error). For more information on the algorithm, please reference the paper, technique(gt) variation of Spielman et al's graph-theoretical (GT) approach (using a spectral sparsification of graphs); currently disabled. 29(2), pages 238-249. Multi-way-clustering is allowed. This option is often used in programs and ado-files. those used by reghdfe) than with direct methods (i.e. Sign in Would have to think quite a bit more to know/recall why though :), (I used the latest version of reghdfe, in case it makes a difference), Intriguing. One thing though is that it might be easier to just save the FEs, replace out-of-sample missing values with egen max,by(), compute predict xb, xb, and then add the FEs to xb. Here's a mock example. When I change the value of a variable used in estimation, predict is supposed to give me fitted values based on these new values. reghdfe dep_var ind_vars, absorb(i.fixeff1 i.fixeff2, savefe) cluster(t) resid My attempts yield errors: xtqptest _reghdfe_resid, lags(1) yields _reghdfe_resid: Residuals do not appear to include the fixed effect , which is based on ue = c_i + e_it aggregation(str) method of aggregation for the individual components of the group fixed effects. Future versions of reghdfe may change this as features are added. This will delete all variables named __hdfe*__ and create new ones as required. A frequent rule of thumb is that each cluster variable must have at least 50 different categories (the number of categories for each clustervar appears at the top of the regression table). 1. For the rationale behind interacting fixed effects with continuous variables, see: Duflo, Esther. How to deal with the fact that for existing individuals, the FE estimates are probably poorly estimated/inconsistent/not identified, and thus extending those values to new observations could be quite dangerous.. Valid options are mean (default), and sum. 15 Jun 2018, 01:48. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and Be aware that adding several HDFEs is not a panacea. Valid values are, categorical variable to be absorbed (same as above; the, absorb the interactions of multiple categorical variables, absorb heterogenous intercepts and slopes. Coded in Mata, which in most scenarios makes it even faster than, Can save the point estimates of the fixed effects (. For instance, if there are four sets of FEs, the first dimension will usually have no redundant coefficients (i.e. This option requires the parallel package (see website). Recommended (default) technique when working with individual fixed effects. I have the exact same issue (i.e. If you want to use descriptive stats, that's what the. The goal of this library is to reproduce the brilliant regHDFE Stata package on Python. I have a question about the use of REGHDFE, created by. (note: as of version 3.0 singletons are dropped by default) It's good practice to drop singletons. This will delete all preexisting variables matching __hdfe*__ and create new ones as required. Do you understand why that error flag arises? Note: The above comments are also appliable to clustered standard error. Example: clear set obs 100 gen x1 = rnormal() gen x2 = rnormal() gen d. will call the latest 2.x version of reghdfe instead (see the. With the reg and predict commands it is possible to make out-of-sample predictions, i.e. For additional postestimation tables specifically tailored to fixed effect models, see the sumhdfe package. [link]. Well occasionally send you account related emails. The first limitation is that it only uses within variation (more than acceptable if you have a large enough dataset). Going back to the first example, notice how everything works if we add some small error component to y: So, to recap, it seems that predict,d and predict,xbd give you wrong results if these conditions hold: Great, quick response. "OLS with Multiple High Dimensional Category Dummies". The panel variables (absvars) should probably be nested within the clusters (clustervars) due to the within-panel correlation induced by the FEs. , kiefer estimates standard errors consistent under arbitrary intra-group autocorrelation (but not heteroskedasticity) (Kiefer). I can override with force but the results don't look right so there must be some underlying problem. Larger groups are faster with more than one processor, but may cause out-of-memory errors. This allows us to use Conjugate Gradient acceleration, which provides much better convergence guarantees. Iteratively removes singleton observations, to avoid biasing the standard errors (see ancillary document). I believe the issue is that instead, the results of predict(xb) are being averaged and THEN the FE is being added for each observation. clusters will check if a fixed effect is nested within a clustervar. dofadjustments(doflist) selects how the degrees-of-freedom, as well as e(df_a), are adjusted due to the absorbed fixed effects. For nonlinear fixed effects, see ppmlhdfe (Poisson). The classical transform is Kaczmarz (kaczmarz), and more stable alternatives are Cimmino (cimmino) and Symmetric Kaczmarz (symmetric_kaczmarz). Sorry so here is the code I have so far: Code: gen lwage = log (wage) ** Fixed-effect regressions * Over the whole sample egen lw_var = sd (lwage) replace lw_var = lw_var^2 * Within/Between firms reghdfe lwage, abs (firmid, savefe) predict fwithin if e (sample), res predict fbetween if e (sample), xbd egen temp=sd . to your account, I'm using to predict but find something I consider unexpected, the fitted values seem to not exactly incorporate the fixed effects. Additionally, if you previously specified preserve, it may be a good time to restore. -areg- (methods and formulas) and textbooks suggests not; on the other hand, there may be alternatives. are available in the ivreghdfe package (which uses ivreg2 as its back-end). Have a question about this project? ivreg2, by Christopher F Baum, Mark E Schaffer and Steven Stillman, is the package used by default for instrumental-variable regression. Since the gain from pairwise is usually minuscule for large datasets, and the computation is expensive, it may be a good practice to exclude this option for speedups. Sergio Correia Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Email: sergio.correia@gmail.com, Noah Constantine Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Email: noahbconstantine@gmail.com. which returns: you must add the resid option to reghdfe before running this prediction. "Robust Inference With Multiway Clustering," Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, American Statistical Association, vol. But I can't think of a logical reason why it would behave this way. Let's say I try to replicate a simple regression with one predictor of interest (foreign), one control (mpg), and one set of FEs(rep78). The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: Would it make sense if you are able to only predict the -xb- part? Note that this allows for groups with a varying number of individuals (e.g. The summary table is saved in e(summarize). Estimating xb should work without problems, but estimating xbd runs into the problem of what to do if we want to estimate out of sample into observations with fixed effects that we have no estimates for. Note that tolerances higher than 1e-14 might be problematic, not just due to speed, but because they approach the limit of the computer precision (1e-16). On a related note, is there a specific reason for what you want to achieve? Communications in Applied Numerical Methods 2.4 (1986): 385-392. For more than two sets of fixed effects, there are no known results that provide exact degrees-of-freedom as in the case above. By clicking Sign up for GitHub, you agree to our terms of service and I will leave it open. (note: as of version 2.1, the constant is no longer reported) Ignore the constant; it doesn't tell you much. This is equivalent to using egen group(var1 var2) to create a new variable, but more convenient and faster. This has been discussed in the past in the context of -areg- and the idea was that outside the sample you don't know the fixed effects outside the sample. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: To be honest, I am struggling to understand what margins is doing under the hood. LSMR is an iterative method for solving sparse least-squares problems; analytically equivalent to the MINRES method on the normal equations. predict test . However, with very large datasets, it is sometimes useful to use low tolerances when running preliminary estimates. poolsize(#) Number of variables that are pooled together into a matrix that will then be transformed. If you want to perform tests that are usually run with suest, such as non-nested models, tests using alternative specifications of the variables, or tests on different groups, you can replicate it manually, as described here. Still trying to figure this out but I think I realized the source of the problem. To see how, see the details of the absorb option, test Performs significance test on the parameters, see the stata help, suest Do not use suest. technique(map) (default)will partial out variables using the "method of alternating projections" (MAP) in any of its variants. However, the following produces yhat = wage: capture drop yhat predict xbd, xbd gen yhat = xbd + res Now, yhat=wage firstpair will exactly identify the number of collinear fixed effects across the first two sets of fixed effects (i.e. In that case, set poolsize to 1. acceleration(str) allows for different acceleration techniques, from the simplest case of no acceleration (none), to steep descent (steep_descent or sd), Aitken (aitken), and finally Conjugate Gradient (conjugate_gradient or cg). You can check their respective help files here: reghdfe3, reghdfe5. Be wary that different accelerations often work better with certain transforms. How to deal with new individuals--set them as 0--. continuous Fixed effects with continuous interactions (i.e. Use carefully, specify that each process will only use #2 cores. Note that a workaround can be done if you save the fixed effects and then replace them to the out-of-sample individuals.. something like. unadjusted, bw(#) (or just , bw(#)) estimates autocorrelation-consistent standard errors (Newey-West). "Acceleration of vector sequences by multi-dimensional Delta-2 methods." Tip:To avoid the warning text in red, you can add the undocumented nowarn option. e(M1)==1), since we are running the model without a constant. predict u_hat0, xbd My questions are as follow 1) Does it give sense to predict the fitted values including the individual effects (as indicated above) to estimate the mean impact of the technology by taking the difference of predicted values (u_hat1-u_hat0)? For instance, a regression with absorb(firm_id worker_id), and 1000 firms, 1000 workers, would drop 2000 DoF due to the FEs. The estimates for the year FEs would be consistent, but another question arises: what do we input instead of the FE estimate for those individuals. ), Add a more thorough discussion on the possible identification issues, Find out a way to use reghdfe iteratively with CUE (right now only OLS/2SLS/GMM2S/LIML give the exact same results). reghdfe is a generalization of areg (and xtreg,fe, xtivreg,fe) for multiple levels of fixed effects, and multi-way clustering. However, we can compute the number of connected subgraphs between the first and third G(1,3), and second and third G(2,3) fixed effects, and choose the higher of those as the closest estimate for e(M3). This is it. transform(str) allows for different "alternating projection" transforms. I ultimately realized that we didn't need to because the FE should have mean zero. To this end, the algorithm FEM used to calculate fixed effects has been replaced with PyHDFE, and a number of further changes have been made. Mean is the default method. the first absvar and the second absvar). Note: do not confuse vce(cluster firm#year) (one-way clustering) with vce(cluster firm year) (two-way clustering). groupvar(newvar) name of the new variable that will contain the first mobility group. Have a question about this project? Frequency weights, analytic weights, and probability weights are allowed. I am running the following commands: Code: reghdfe log_odds_ratio depvar [pw=weights], absorb (year county_fe) cluster (state) resid predictnl pred_prob=exp (predict (xbd))/ (1+exp (predict (xbd))) , se (pred_prob_se) We add firm, CEO and time fixed-effects (standard practice). Have a question about this project? For instance, the option absorb(firm_id worker_id year_coefs=year_id) will include firm, worker, and year fixed effects, but will only save the estimates for the year fixed effects (in the new variable year_coefs). For the second FE, the number of connected subgraphs with respect to the first FE will provide an exact estimate of the degrees-of-freedom lost, e(M2). If only absorb() is present, reghdfe will run a standard fixed-effects regression. If individual() is specified you must also call group(). Computing person and firm effects using linked longitudinal employer-employee data. firstpair will exactly identify the number of collinear fixed effects across the first two sets of fixed effects (i.e. Here an MWE to illustrate. Stata Journal, 10(4), 628-649, 2010. For alternative estimators (2sls, gmm2s, liml), as well as additional standard errors (HAC, etc) see ivreghdfe. To save the summary table silently (without showing it after the regression table), use the quietly suboption. If you run "summarize p j" you will see they have mean zero. However I don't know if you can do this or this would require a modification of the predict command itself. Can absorb individual fixed effects where outcomes and regressors are at the group level (e.g. Cameron, A. Colin & Gelbach, Jonah B. mwc allows multi-way-clustering (any number of cluster variables), but without the bw and kernel suboptions. acceleration(str) Relevant for tech(map). its citations), so using "mean" might be the sensible choice. One solution is to ignore subsequent fixed effects (and thus overestimate e(df_a) and underestimate the degrees-of-freedom). For instance, in a standard panel with individual and time fixed effects, we require both the number of individuals and periods to grow asymptotically. (If you are interested in discussing these or others, feel free to contact me), As above, but also compute clustered standard errors, Factor interactions in the independent variables, Interactions in the absorbed variables (notice that only the # symbol is allowed), Interactions in both the absorbed and AvgE variables (again, only the # symbol is allowed), Note: it also keeps most e() results placed by the regression subcommands (ivreg2, ivregress), Sergio Correia Fuqua School of Business, Duke University Email: sergio.correia@duke.edu. On this case firm_plant and time_firm. Supports two or more levels of fixed effects. FDZ-Methodenreport 02/2012. For nonlinear fixed effects, see ppmlhdfe(Poisson). reghfe currently supports right-preconditioners of the following types: none, diagonal, and block_diagonal (default). higher than the default). For a careful explanation, see the ivreg2 help file, from which the comments below borrow. MAP currently does not work with individual & group fixed effects. Interesting, thanks for the explanation. So they were identified from the control group and I think theoretically the idea is fine. As a consequence, your standard errors might be erroneously too large. Using absorb(month. Warning: when absorbing heterogeneous slopes without the accompanying heterogeneous intercepts, convergence is quite poor and a tight tolerance is strongly suggested (i.e. Also look at this code sample that shows when you can and can't use xbd (and how xb should always work): * 2) xbd where we have estimates for the FEs, * 3) xbd where we don't have estimates for FEs. cluster clustervars, bw(#) estimates standard errors consistent to common autocorrelated disturbances (Driscoll-Kraay). vce(vcetype, subopt) specifies the type of standard error reported. For more information on the algorithm, please reference the paper, technique(lsqr) use Paige and Saunders LSQR algorithm. ( which reghdfe) Do you have a minimal working example? I think I mentally discarded it because of the error. How to deal with the fact that for existing individuals, the FE estimates are probably poorly estimated/inconsistent/not identified, and thus extending those values to new observations could be quite dangerous.. At the other end, low tolerances (below 1e-6) are not generally recommended, as the iteration might have been stopped too soon, and thus the reported estimates might be incorrect. Iteratively drop singleton groups andmore generallyreduce the linear system into its 2-core graph. [link]. Well occasionally send you account related emails. Note: The default acceleration is Conjugate Gradient and the default transform is Symmetric Kaczmarz. using the data in sysuse auto ). Well occasionally send you account related emails. For debugging, the most useful value is 3. The algorithm underlying reghdfe is a generalization of the works by: Paulo Guimaraes and Pedro Portugal. The second and subtler limitation occurs if the fixed effects are themselves outcomes of the variable of interest (as crazy as it sounds). Warning: when absorbing heterogeneous slopes without the accompanying heterogeneous intercepts, convergence is quite poor and a higher tolerance is strongly suggested (i.e. regressors with different coefficients for each FE category), 3. Careful estimation of degrees of freedom, taking into account nesting of fixed effects within clusters, as well as many possible sources of collinearity within the fixed effects. fixed effects by individual, firm, job position, and year), there may be a huge number of fixed effects collinear with each other, so we want to adjust for that. avar by Christopher F Baum and Mark E Schaffer, is the package used for estimating the HAC-robust standard errors of ols regressions. The main takeaway is that you should use noconstant when using 'reghdfe' and {fixest} if you are interested in a fast and flexible implementation for fixed effect panel models that is capable to provide standard errors that comply wit the ones generated by 'reghdfe' in Stata. To spot perfectly collinear regressors that were not dropped, look for extremely high standard errors. reghdfe now permits estimations that include individual fixed effects with group-level outcomes. 3. For instance, vce(cluster firm#year) will estimate SEs with one-way clustering i.e. privacy statement. one patent might be solo-authored, another might have 10 authors). Thus, using e.g. individual(indvar) categorical variable representing each individual (eg: inventor_id). How to deal with new individuals--set them as 0--. How do I do this? Already on GitHub? ffirst compute and report first stage statistics (details); requires the ivreg2 package. In contrast, other production functions might scale linearly in which case "sum" might be the correct choice. continuous Fixed effects with continuous interactions (i.e. commands such as predict and margins.1 By all accounts reghdfe represents the current state-of-the-art command for estimation of linear regression models with HDFE, and the package has been very well accepted by the academic community.2 The fact that reghdfeoers a very fast and reliable way to estimate linear regression fixed-effects-model Share Cite Improve this question Follow ivsuite(subcmd) allows the IV/2SLS regression to be run either using ivregress or ivreg2. More suboptions avalable, preserve the dataset and drop variables as much as possible on every step, control columns and column formats, row spacing, line width, display of omitted variables and base and empty cells, and factor-variable labeling, amount of debugging information to show (0=None, 1=Some, 2=More, 3=Parsing/convergence details, 4=Every iteration), show elapsed times by stage of computation, run previous versions of reghdfe. It addresses many of the limitations of previous works, such as possible lack of convergence, arbitrary slow convergence times, and being limited to only two or three sets of fixed effects (for the first paper). The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered: The problem with predicting out of sample with FEs is that you don't know the fixed effect of an individual that was not in sample, so you cannot compute the alpha + beta * x. Note that fast will be disabled when adding variables to the dataset (i.e. They are probably inconsistent / not identified and you will likely be using them wrong. maxiterations(#) specifies the maximum number of iterations; the default is maxiterations(10000); set it to missing (.) iterations(#) specifies the maximum number of iterations; the default is iterations(16000); set it to missing (.) Moreover, after fraud events, the new CEOs are usually specialized in dealing with the aftershocks of such events (and are usually accountants or lawyers). Slope-only absvars ("state#c.time") have poor numerical stability and slow convergence. For a discussion, see Stock and Watson, "Heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors for fixed-effects panel-data regression," Econometrica 76 (2008): 155-174. cluster clustervars estimates consistent standard errors even when the observations are correlated within groups. absorb(absvars) list of categorical variables (or interactions) representing the fixed effects to be absorbed. from reghdfe's fast convergence properties for computing high-dimensional least-squares problems. May require you to previously save the fixed effects (except for option xb). Hi Sergio, thanks for all your work on this package. do you know more? Then you can plot these __hdfe* parameters however you like. That's the same approach done by other commands such as areg. [link], Simen Gaure. In other words, an absvar of var1##c.var2 converges easily, but an absvar of var1#c.var2 will converge slowly and may require a tighter tolerance. reghdfe varlist [if] [in], absorb(absvars) save(cache) [options]. Warning: cue will not give the same results as ivreg2. Already on GitHub? + indicates a recommended or important option. For instance, vce(cluster firm year) will estimate SEs with firm and year clustering (two-way clustering). what's the FE of someone who didn't exist?). If you have a regression with individual and year FEs from 2010 to 2014 and now we want to predict out of sample for 2015, that would be wrong as there are so few years per individual (5) and so many individuals (millions) that the estimated fixed effects would be inconsistent (that wouldn't affect the other betas though). what do we use for estimates of the turn fixed effects for values above 40? For diagnostics on the fixed effects and additional postestimation tables, see sumhdfe. The Review of Financial Studies, vol. to your account. when saving residuals, fixed effects, or mobility groups), and is incompatible with most postestimation commands. individual, save) and after the reghdfe command is through I store the estimates through estimates store, if I then load the data for the full sample (both 2008 and 2009) and try to get the predicted values through: If you need those, either i) increase tolerance or ii) use slope-and-intercept absvars ("state##c.time"), even if the intercept is redundant. In the case where continuous is constant for a level of categorical, we know it is collinear with the intercept, so we adjust for it. First, the dataset needs to be large enough, and/or the partialling-out process needs to be slow enough, that the overhead of opening separate Stata instances will be worth it. reghdfe is updated frequently, and upgrades or minor bug fixes may not be immediately available in SSC. privacy statement. The suboption ,nosave will prevent that. Requires pairwise, firstpair, or the default all. Now we will illustrate the main grammar and options in fect. "A Simple Feasible Alternative Procedure to Estimate Models with High-Dimensional Fixed Effects". e(M1)==1), since we are running the model without a constant. You can use it by itself (summarize(,quietly)) or with custom statistics (summarize(mean, quietly)). Without any adjustment, we would assume that the degrees-of-freedom used by the fixed effects is equal to the count of all the fixed effects (e.g. Note: Each acceleration is just a plug-in Mata function, so a larger number of acceleration techniques are available, albeit undocumented (and slower). The paper explaining the specifics of the algorithm is a work-in-progress and available upon request. In your case, it seems that excluding the FE part gives you the same results under -atmeans-. control column formats, row spacing, line width, display of omitted variables and base and empty cells, and factor-variable labeling. 1 Answer. For instance if absvar is "i.zipcode i.state##c.time" then i.state is redundant given i.zipcode, but convergence will still be, standard error of the prediction (of the xb component), number of observations including singletons, total sum of squares after partialling-out, degrees of freedom lost due to the fixed effects, log-likelihood of fixed-effect-only regression, number of clusters for the #th cluster variable, Redundant due to being nested within clustervars, whether _cons was included in the regressions (default) or as part of the fixed effects, name of the absorbed variables or interactions, name of the extended absorbed variables (counting intercepts and slopes separately), method(s) used to compute degrees-of-freedom lost due the fixed effects, subtitle in estimation output, indicating how many FEs were being absorbed, variance-covariance matrix of the estimators, Improve DoF adjustments for 3+ HDFEs (e.g. Faster but less accurate and less numerically stable.
