We provide new and computationally attractive methods, based on jackknifing by cluster, to obtain cluster-robust variance matrix estimators (CRVEs) for linear regres- sion models estimated by least squares. These estimators have previously been com- putationally infeasible except for small...

Methods for cluster-robust inference are routinely used in economics and many other disciplines. However, it is only recently that theoretical foundations for the use of these methods in many empirically relevant situations have been developed. In this paper, we use these theoretical results to...

We study a cluster-robust variance estimator (CRVE) for regression models with clustering in two dimensions that was proposed in Cameron, Gelback, and Miller (2011). We prove that this CRVE is consistent and yields valid inferences under precisely stated assumptions about moments and cluster...

Reliable inference with clustered data has received a great deal of attention in recent years. The overwhelming majority of this research assumes that the cluster structure is known. This assumption is very strong, because there are often several possible ways in which a dataset could be...

We study two cluster-robust variance estimators (CRVEs) for regression models with clustering in two dimensions and give conditions under which t-statistics based on each of them yield asymptotically valid inferences. In particular, one of the CRVEs requires stronger assumptions about the nature...

We study asymptotic inference based on cluster-robust variance estimators for regression models with clustered errors, focusing on the wild cluster bootstrap and the ordinary wild bootstrap. We state conditions under which both asymptotic and bootstrap tests and confidence intervals will be...
