Question 23

Essay

Consider the case of time fixed effects only, i.e., Yit=β0+β1Xit+β3St+uit,Y _ { i t } = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { i t } + \beta _ { 3 } S _ { t } + u _ { i t } ,
First replace β0+β3St\beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 3 } S _ { t } with ϕt\phi _ { t } . Next show the relationship between the ϕt\phi _ { t } and δi\delta _ { i } in the following equation Yit=β0+β1Xit+δ2B2t++δTBTt+uitY _ { i t } = \beta _ { 0 } + \beta _ { 1 } X _ { i t } + \delta _ { 2 } B 2 _ { t } + \ldots + \delta _ { T } B T _ { t } + u _ { i t } where each of the binary variables B2, …, BT indicates a different time period.Explain in
words why the two equations are the same.Finally show why there is perfect
multicollinearity if you add another binary variable B1.What is the intuition behind the
fact that the OLS estimator does not exist in this case? Would that also be the case if you
dropped the intercept?
