Abstract

Missing observations are a rule rather than an exception in panel data.In this paper we discuss several tests to check for the presence of selectivity bias in regression estimates based on panel data.One approach to test for selectivity bias i n these estimates is to specify the missing data mechanism explicitly and to estimate the response mechanism and the regres-equation jointly.Alternatively, one can derive the asymptotically efficient Lagrange Multiplier test once an assumption on the response mechanism has been made.Both approaches are computationally demanding as e.g.multivariate probit models have to be estimated.We propose the use of simple variable addition and (quasi) Hausman tests to test for selectivity bias and compare the power of these tests with the asymptotically efficient tests using Monte Carlo methods.Keynesian and New Classical Models of Unemployment Revisited
