Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We propose a new command, xtsktest, for explaining nonnormalities in linear panel-data models. The command performs tests to explore skewness and excess kurtosis, allowing researchers to identify departures from Gaussianity in both error components of a standard panel regression, separately or jointly. The tests are based on recent results by Galvao et al. (2013, Journal of Multivariate Analysis 122: 35-52) and extend the classical Jarque-Bera normality test for the case of panel data.
