Dear experts,
This question is somewhat econometrics question. I believe that experts here can help me understand this.
I'm estimating panel regressions and have two equations, which are exactly the same, except that
in Equation 1 both time and firm fixed effects are included whereas in Equation 2 only time fixed effects are included:
Equation 1: y x1 x2 x3 timedummy firm-dummy
Equation 2 : y x1 x2 x3 timedummy
Looking at the adjusted R-Squared I was surprised to see that it is
lower in Eq.1 than in Eq.2. As explained in econometric books, adding fixed effects is simmilar to
including dummies for each individual. Thus,
intuitively, as there are more variables in the Eq.1, I thought that
the adjusted R-squared should be higher than in Eq.2.
Why adjusted R-squared is lowed in Eq.1? It would be greatly appreciated if you help understand this!
Thank you.
