I am using panel data, and would like to evaluate whether coefficients from different fixed effects specifications are statistically significantly different from one another. Specifically, I estimate models a), b) and c) with -reghdfe-, such that
a) ln(y) = βx + γz + id (reghdfe lny i.x c.z, absorb(id) cluster(id))
b) ln(y) = βx+ γz + id + firm (reghdfe lny i.x c.z, absorb(id firm) cluster(id))
c) ln(y) = βx+ γz + id*firm (reghdfe lny i.x c.z, absorb(id#firm) cluster(id))
ln(y) is a natural logarithm of the dependent variable, x is a time-varying categorical variable, z is a time-varying continuous variable, id are individual fixed effects, firm are firm fixed effects and id*firm are the interaction of individual and firm fixed effects. y and x are the same variables in each specification, and the estimations are run on the same sample (singletons are obviously dropped in each case). I want to test, whether β (for each category of x) estimated from a) is statistically significantly different from β estimated from b), or from β estimated from c), .
Do formulas suggested for nested multiple regressions in Clogg et al. (1995) apply in the comparison of β's estimated from a) and b) (why/why not)? What about in the comparison of β's estimated from a) and c), where the models are non-nested (why/why not)? Or would the solution be to demean the variables by hand, run specifications with -regress- on demeaned data, and then apply -suest- and -test- (why/why not)? In addition to an appropriate solution, references to other posts and econometrics papers discussing this particular issue would be much appreciated - thus far I have not been able to find ones myself.
