"On Testing for Sphericity with Non-normality in a Fixed Effects Panel Data Model

Author

Abstract

Building upon the work of Chen et al. (2010), this paper proposes a test for sphericity of the variance-covariance matrix in a xed e¤ects panel data regression model without the normality assumption on the disturbances.
