ANALISIS DATA PANEL UNTUK MENGUJI PENGARUH RISIKO TERHADAP RETURN SAHAM SEKTOR FARMASI DENGAN LEAST SQUARE DUMMY VARIABLE

Abstract

Panel data analysis is a method of studying pooling observations on a cross-section of subjects over several time periods. There are several types of panel data analytic models, constant coefficients models, fixed effects models, and random effects models. Fixed effects models would have constant slopes but intercepts that differ according to the cross-sectional (group) unit. While the intercept is cross-section (group) specific, it may or may not differ over time. To show how to test for the presence of statistically significant group and/or time effects, i-1 dummy variables are used to designate the particular group, so we use Least Squares Dummy Variable method. In this paper, we use this method for testing the relationship between risk and stock return at farmation sector data in Indonesia for the time period 2007-2008. The empirical results showed that the model is statistically significant time effects.
