Hi All,

I am carrying out research for my bachelor thesis looking at the effect of gin consumption on health outcomes, using a regional-level panel data set. I am using two measures of health for robustness: ARD (alcohol related deaths) and BADSAH (bad self-assessed health).

Carrying out the Breush-Pagan test for Heteroscedasticity -

1) For ARD - p-value of 0.000 (reject null - presence of heteroscedasticity)
2) For BADSAH - p-value of 0.2510 (failure to reject null, homoscedasticity)

Currently I am using , fe cluster(region) within both models.

Does this result mean for my second measure of health (badsah) - I do not need robust standard errors within my regression? I am slightly confused about the implication of this p-value.

Many thanks,
Carys Wright
