This note describes a test for the presence of individual effects in dynamic models. The test employs restrictions on sample moments implied by the absence of individual effects. Testing the assumption of unobserved heterogeneity is desirable because estimation methods which control for heterogeneity are typically more complicated and require more data than would be required without individual effects. The test is easily implemented as the calculation of statistics follows directly from a linear, instrumental variables estimation technique. The test is illustrated in the context of estimating a dynamic wage equation using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics.
