About

Maintained by Prakash VhankadeFirst published 2026-06-222 releasesCRAN page ↗

Implements a sequential panel estimation protocol for regional economic panels that combines three estimation layers in a fixed order. The first layer applies a two-way fixed effects baseline. The second layer applies the panel threshold regression method of Hansen (1999) doi:10.1016/S0304-4076(99)00025-1 to identify structural breaks at an unknown threshold of a moderating variable, with bootstrap inference following Hansen (2000) doi:10.1111/1468-0262.00124. The third layer applies a spatial Durbin model with an impact decomposition following LeSage and Pace (2009, ISBN:978-1-4200-6424-7) to quantify direct and indirect spillover effects. The fourth layer applies the two-step panel quantile estimator of Canay (2011) doi:10.1111/j.1368-423X.2011.00349.x to document distributional heterogeneity in the outcome. The threshold identified in the second layer defines a subsample used as structured input to the fourth layer, and a consistency check evaluates whether the three sets of results are jointly compatible with a common underlying structural relationship. An illustrative panel of 33 districts of the state of Maharashtra, India, observed over 10 agricultural years, is included with the package.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("tsqr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-tsqr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-tsqr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
