摘要
The paper analyses the regression of two independent random walks with drifts. Applying the nonsense regression results to panel data, it is shown that the convergence to pseudo true values also applies to the estimation of (spurious) fixed-effects models. Simulated evidence reveals potential interpretation problems in finite samples. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
