Mixed-Effects Methods for Search and Matching Research
Mixed-Effects Methods for Search and Matching Research
Working Paper Number: CES-23-43
Abstract
We study mixed-effects methods for estimating equations containing person and firm effects. In economics such models are usually estimated using fixed-effects methods. Recent enhancements to those fixed-effects methods include corrections to the bias in estimating the covariance matrix of the person and firm effects, which we also consider.
