Hallo,
I’m running a random effects logistic regression. My dependent variable
is adummy (new_inn) indicating if a firm has or has not introduced an
innovation in the reference year. Among the regressors ros is a
profitability ratio. Other regressors are time invariant (inizio,
north_ea north_we centre).
When the model is estimated with contemporaneous regressors, rho is
important and quite “big”, thus signalling that the contribution of the
random effect to the total variance is significant (results shown
below).

when I introduce lagged regressors (for example past profitability
l1.ros) , rho becomes small and the Likelihood-ratio test of rho=0 is
significant (results shown below)
