Estimation and Inference for a Semiparametric Time–Varying Panel Data Model
半参数时变面板数据模型的估计与推断
This article introduces a new semiparametric panel data model that accounts for time-varying coefficients and aligns with recent advancements in factor models featuring nonparametric loading functions. We propose a profile marginal integration (PMI) method to jointly estimate the unknown quantities in a series of easily implementable steps. The asymptotic properties of these estimators are established. Additionally, we provide a hypothesis test to assess the validity of…
