Introduction In this blog, we examine one of the fundamentals of panel data analysis, the one-way error component model. Today we will: Explain the theoretical one-way error component model. Consider fixed effects vs. random effects. Estimate models using an empirical example. The theoretical one-way error component model The one-way error-component model is a panel data [...]
This fourth video in our GAUSS Basics series will explain how to perform: Matrix operations. Element-by-element operations on matrices. Next: GAUSS Basics 5: Element-by-element conformability Previous: GAUSS Basics 3: Introduction to matrices
Introduction When policy changes or treatments are imposed on people, it is common and reasonable to ask how those people have been impacted. This is a more difficult question than it seems at first glance. In order to truly know how those individuals have been impacted, we need to consider how those individuals would be [...]
This third video in our GAUSS Basics series will show you how to: Create matrices. Find their size. Access specific elements with indexing. Grow them with matrix concatenation. Next: GAUSS Basics 4: Matrix operations Previous: GAUSS Basics 2: Running a program
Introduction GAUSS includes a plethora of tools for creating publication-quality graphics. Unfortunately, many people fail to use these tools to their full potential. Today we unlock five advanced GAUSS hacks for building beautiful graphics: Using HSL, HSLuv, and Colorbrewer color palettes. Controlling graph exports. Changing the plot canvas size. Annotating graphs with shapes, text boxes, [...]

Introduction In this blog, we extend last week's analysis of unit root testing with structural breaks to panel data. We will again use the quarterly current account to GDP ratio but focus on a panel of data from five countries: United States, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, and India. Using panel data unit roots tests [...]
Introduction In this blog, we examine the issue of identifying unit roots in the presence of structural breaks. We will use the quarterly US current account to GDP ratio to compare results from a number of unit root test found in the GAUSS tspdlib library including the: Zivot-Andrews (1992) unit root test with a single [...]
Hatemi code for cointegration with multiple structural breaks This week's blog brings you the second video in the series examining running publicly available GAUSS code. This video runs the popular code by Hatemi-J for testing cointegration with multiple structural breaks. In this video you will learn how to: Substitute your own dataset. Modify the [...]
