The Hausman test (sometimes also called Durbin-Wu-Hausman test) is
based on the difference of the vectors of coefficients of two different
models. The panelmodel
method computes the original version of
the test based on a quadratic form. The formula
method, if
method="chisq"
(default), computes
the original version of the test based on a quadratic form;
if method="aux"
then the auxiliary-regression-based version in
Wooldridge (2010, Sec. 10.7.3.) is computed instead. Only the latter can
be robustified specifying a robust covariance estimator as a function
through the argument vcov
.
