Relationship Between Household Consumption and Disaggregated Wealth Components in OECD Countries: Panel Data Analysis for the Period 2010-2017 by Ahmet Hamdi Yanık, Ahmet İncekara

“…Based on this framework, three different panel data regression models were estimated, including one or more wealth components as explanatory variables. The results of the Hausman test show that random effect estimators can provide more effective estimates, while the Swamy test shows that heterogeneity in slope parameters should be taken into account. …”
