Testing additive versus interactive effects in fixed-T panels

Economics Letters, 2019, vol. 174, issue C, 5-8

Abstract: This paper proposes a new test of the null hypothesis of additive fixed effects versus the alternative of general interactive effects. This is not the only test of its kind in the literature; however, it is the only test that is valid in panels where T is fixed. The asymptotic distribution of the new test statistic is derived and simulation results are provided to suggest that it performs well in small samples.
