Abstract: This study proposes a shrinkage estimator for linear panel data models. Our estimator is a weighted average of the additive and interactive effects estimators where the weight is inversely proportional to the Hausman-type test statistic. We establish the asymptotic distribution of the shrinkage estimator and show that its asymptotic risk is strictly smaller than that of the interactive estimator. A Monte Carlo simulation shows that the shrinkage estimator has a substantially smaller finite sample error relative to other estimators.
