Abstract

clusterbs performs a pairs symmetric cluster bootstrap-t procedure for estimating the statistical significance of relationships when the data is clustered with a small number of clusters. This program uses a procedure described in Cameron, Gelbach, & Miller (2008) wherein the null distribution of the t-statistic is estimated by running the model in a series of bootstrap samples, where the data is sampled with replacement by cluster for each bootstrap iteration. "clusterbs" is intended to be used for accurate statistical inference about one or more parameters of interest when the data is clustered with a small number of clusters, or a moderate number of clusters with uneven size. It does not allow for post-estimation commands and does not return standard errors. clusterbs allows the pairs cluster bootstrap program to run fixed effects models. These can be specified as cluster (where fixed effects are applied to each cluster), "inside" (where fixed effects are applied to an indicator inside of each cluster), and "external" (where fixed effects are given to an indicator separate from the clustering structure).
