Abstract

The proliferation of panel data studies has been greatly motivated by the availability of data and capacity for modelling the complexity of human behaviour than a single cross-section or time series data and these led to the rise of challenging methodologies for estimating the data set. It is pertinent that, in practice, panel data are bound to exhibit autocorrelation or heteroscedasticity or both. In view of the fact that the presence of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelated errors in panel data models biases the standard errors and leads to less efficient results. This study deemed it fit to search for estimator that can handle the presence of these twin problems when they co- exists in panel data. Therefore, robust inference in the presence of these problems needs to be simultaneously addressed. The Monte-Carlo simulation method was designed to investigate the finite sample properties of five estimation methods: Between Estimator (BE), Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS), Maximum Estimator (ME) and Modified Maximum Estimator (MME), including a new Proposed Estimator (PE) in the simulated data infected with heteroscedasticity and autocorrelated errors. The results of the root mean square error and absolute bias criteria, revealed that Proposed Estimator in the presence of these problems is asymptotically more efficient and consistent than other estimators in the class of the estimators in the study. This is experienced in all combinatorial level of autocorrelated errors in remainder error and fixed heteroscedastic individual effects. For this reason, PE has better performance among other estimators.
