A Jackknife Variance Estimator for Panel Regressions
We introduce a new jackknife variance estimator for panel-data regressions. Our variance estimator can be motivated as the conventional leave-one-out jackknife variance estimator on a transformed space of the regressors and residuals using orthonormal trigonometric basis functions. We prove the asymptotic validity of our variance estimator and demonstrate desirable finite-sample properties in a series of simulation experiments. We also illustrate how our method can be used for jackknife bias-correction in a variety of time-series settings.
