What is Mundlak approach?
The Mundlak approach consists in augmenting the random effects specification with variables that should capture the correlation between (time-varying) regressors and individual effects.
How do you choose between fixed and random effects?
The most important practical difference between the two is this: Random effects are estimated with partial pooling, while fixed effects are not. Partial pooling means that, if you have few data points in a group, the group’s effect estimate will be based partially on the more abundant data from other groups.
When to use fixed effects or random effects?
Fixed effects or random effects: The Mundlak approach. Today I will discuss Mundlak’s (1978) alternative to the Hausman test. Unlike the latter, the Mundlak approach may be used when the errors are heteroskedastic or have intragroup correlation.
How are random effects modeled in a re model?
As well as incorporating time-invariant variables, RE models are readily extendable, with random coefficients, cross-level interactions and complex variance functions. We argue not simply for technical solutions to endogeneity, but for the substantive importance of context/heterogeneity, modeled using RE.
How to test correlated random effects with unbalanced panels?

Which is the default model for fixed effects?
This article challenges Fixed Effects (FE) modeling as the ‘default’ for time-series-cross-sectional and panel data. Understanding different within and between effects is crucial when choosing modeling strategies.
