Variable selection in panel models with breaks
存在结构突变的面板模型中的变量选择
We develop a Bayesian approach that performs variable selection in panel regression models affected by breaks. Our approach enables deactivation of pervasive regressors and activation of weak regressors for short periods (regimes). We establish theoretical results on the concentration properties of the posterior as well as the rate of convergence for estimating the break dates. Our methodology is demonstrated in simulations and in an empirical application to firms’ choice of…
