. Equations (4) and (5) together establish the Poisson regression model ( 500 | ) exp( ) ii i i ETOP λ ′= =xxβ (6) The Poisson … regression model has a number of merits: it captures the discrete and non- negative nature of the data; it allows inference to be … to the actual sum. Assuming independence among the count variables, the log-likelihood for the Poisson regression model …

How Low Business Tax Rates Attract Multinational Headquarters : Municipality-Level Evidence from Germany

Becker, Sascha O. - 2009

Most existing empirical evidence on the impact of profit taxation on multinational firm activity is based on cross-country data. One major drawback of such data is that countries differ not only with regard to taxes but along other dimensions which might be hard to capture by means of observable...

Fixed and Random Effects Models for Count Data

Greene, William - 2009

The most familiar fixed effects (FE) and random effects (RE) panel data treatments for count data were proposed by Hausman, Hall and Griliches (HHG) (1984). The Poisson FE model is particularly simple and is one of a small few known models in which the incidental parameters problem is, in fact,...

Functional Form and Heterogeneity in Models for Count Data

Greene, William - 2009

This study presents several extensions of the most familiar models for count data, the Poisson and negative binomial models. We develop an encompassing model for two well known variants of the negative binomial model (the NB1 and NB2 forms). We then propose some alternative approaches to the...

Inflation-Growth Nexus in Africa: Evidence from a Pooled CCE Multiple Regime Panel Smooth Transition Model

Eyden, Reneé van; Omay, Tolga; Gupta, Rangan - Department of Economics, Faculty of Economic and … - 2015

This paper analyses the empirical relationship between inflation and growth using a panel data estimation technique, Multiple Regime Panel Smooth Transition Regression (MR-PSTR), which takes into account the nonlinearities in the data. By using a panel data set for 10 African countries that...

TOP MANAGEMENT TEAM HETEROGENEITY, DIVERSIFICATION, AND CORPORATE PERFORMANCE: A PANEL SMOOTH TRANSITION REGRESSION MODEL

LI, Weining; ZHANG, Sen; ZHANG, Jing - In: Journal for Economic Forecasting (2015) 1, pp. 129-142

This empirical study uses a panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model to investigate the nonlinear relationship between top management team (TMT) heterogeneity and corporate performance based on a sample of 117 publicly traded companies in China from 2000-2012. The results show that there...

Energy Consumption-Economic Growth Nexus: Evidence from Linear and Nonlinear Models in Selected African Countries

Raheem, Ibrahim D.; Yusuf, Agboola H. - In: International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy 5 (2015) 2, pp. 558-564

In the energy-growth nexus, due to structural change that cannot be accounted for in the linear model this study considers the possibility of the nonlinear model. Using dataset for fifteen countries in Africa for the period 1980-2010, we found that linear model has misspecification error, thus,...
