非参数生产模型的假设检验AI 解读

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and free disposal hull (FDH) estimators are widely used to estimate efficiency of production. Practitioners use DEA estimators far more frequently than FDH estimators, implicitly assuming that production sets are convex. Moreover, use of the constant returns to scale (CRS) version of the DEA estimator requires an assumption of CRS. Although bootstrap methods have been developed for making inference about the efficiencies of individual units,…

面板数据中时间趋势异质性的新估计方法AI 解读

This paper introduces a new estimation method for arbitrary temporal heterogeneity in panel data models. The paper provides a semiparametric method for estimating general patterns of cross-sectional specific time trends. The methods proposed in the paper are related to principal component analysis and estimate the time-varying trend effects using a small number of common functions calculated from the data. An important application for the new estimator is in the estimation…
