Abstract

avar} is a routine for estimating S, the asymptotic variance of (1/N)*Z'e, where Z is an NxL matrix of L variables, e is an Nxp matrix of p variables, and N is the sample size. Typically, S would be used to form a sandwich-type estimate of the variance of an estimator, where S is the "filling" of the sandwich. avar can estimate VCEs for single and multiple equations that are robust to various violations of the assumption of iid data, including heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, 1- and 2-way clustering, common cross-panel disturbances, etc. It supports time-series and panel data.
