Abstract

 

This paper considers inference on fixed effects in a linear regression model estimatedfrom network data. An important special case of our setup is the two-way regressionmodel. This is a workhorse technique in the analysis of matched data sets, such asemployer-employee or student-teacher panel data. We formalize how the structureof the network affects the accuracy with which the fixed effects can be estimated.This allows us to derive sufficient conditions on the network for consistent estimationand asymptotically-valid inference to be possible. Estimation of moments is alsoconsidered. We allow for general networks and our setup covers both the dense andsparse case. We provide numerical results for the estimation of teacher value-addedmodels and regressions with occupational dummies.
