  • negative pesaran value

    Hi,
    I was testing the cross sectional independence test using Pesaran CD for the panel data of 51 states across US and time frame of 2000-2010. After runnin the fixed effect with time dummies (effects), I got a negative value for the test with the p value >1 (which is not possible).
    I checked the paper on this http://www.stata-journal.com/article...article=st0113 but they didnt really talk about any negative value. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out here.
    I am currently using the latest XTCSD version of 1.1.1.

    Fixed-effects (within) regression Number of obs = 561
    Group variable: state Number of groups = 51

    R-sq: within = 0.3508 Obs per group: min = 11
    between = 0.0026 avg = 11.0
    overall = 0.0013 max = 11

    F(20,490) = 13.24
    corr(u_i, Xb) = -0.3021 Prob > F = 0.0000

    Pesaran's test of cross sectional independence = -1.308, Pr = 0.1908

    Average absolute value of the off-diagonal elements = 0.263


    thank you !

    I think you are miss-reading the output (or I am).

    Code:
    . xtcsd, pesaran abs
    
    Pesaran's test of cross sectional independence = -1.308, Pr = 0.1908
    
    Average absolute value of the off-diagonal elements = 0.263
    It is Pesaran's statistic that is negative (CD = -1.308) and the p-value is 0.1908.
