Structural Break Hausman Test
The Structural Break Hausman Test extends the classical Hausman (1978) specification test to panel or time-series settings where the data-generating process shifts at one or more break points. By detecting structural breaks first and then running the Hausman comparison within each regime, researchers can reliably choose between fixed effects and random effects estimators even when the underlying relationship changes over time.
