含群组效应的高效同伴效应估计AI 解读

We study linear peer effect models where peers interact in groups and individual’s outcomes are linear in the group mean outcome and characteristics. We allow for unobserved random group effects as well as observed fixed group effects. The specification is in part motivated by the moment conditions imposed in Graham (2008). We show that these moment conditions can be cast in terms of a linear random group effects model and that they lead to a class of GMM estimators with…

This paper considers a class of generalized methods of moments (GMM) estimators for general dynamic panel models, allowing for weakly exogenous covariates and cross‐sectional dependence due to spatial lags, unspecified common shocks, and time‐varying interactive effects. We significantly expand the scope of the existing literature by allowing for endogenous time‐varying spatial weight matrices without imposing explicit structural assumptions on how the weights are formed. An…

以Besov函数类为索引的依赖过程不变原理及线性Hausman检验应用AI 解读

This paper considers functional central limit theorems for stationary absolutely regular mixing processes. Bounds for the entropy with bracketing are derived using recent results in Nickl and Pötscher (2007). More specifically, their bracketing metric entropy bounds are extended to a norm defined in Doukhan, Massart and Rio (1995, henceforth DMR) that depends both on the marginal distribution of the process and on the mixing coefficients. Using these bounds, and based on a…

货币政策效应的半参数估计：重新审视“推绳子”理论AI 解读

We develop flexible semiparametric time series methods for the estimation of the causal effect of monetary policy on macroeconomic aggregates. Our estimator captures the average causal response to discrete policy interventions in a macrodynamic setting, without the need for assumptions about the process generating macroeconomic outcomes. The proposed estimation strategy, based on propensity score weighting, easily accommodates asymmetric and nonlinear responses. Using this…

具有截面依赖与序贯外生性的面板数据模型极限理论AI 解读

The paper derives a general Central Limit Theorem (CLT) and asymptotic distributions for sample moments related to panel data models with large n. The results allow for the data to be cross sectionally dependent, while at the same time allowing the regressors to be only sequentially rather than strictly exogenous. The setup is sufficiently general to accommodate situations where cross sectional dependence stems from spatial interactions and/or from the presence of common…

线性时间序列模型的核加权 GMM 估计量AI 解读

This paper analyzes the higher-order asymptotic properties of generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators for linear time series models using many lags as instruments. A data-dependent moment selection method based on minimizing the approximate mean squared error is developed. In addition, a new version of the GMM estimator based on kernel-weighted moment conditions is proposed. It is shown that kernel-weighted GMM estimators can reduce the asymptotic bias compared to…

We develop semiparametric tests for conditional independence in time series models of causal effects. Our approach is motivated by empirical studies of monetary policy effects and is semiparametric in the sense that we model the process determining the distribution of treatment—the policy propensity score—but leave the model for outcomes unspecified. A conceptual innovation is that we adapt the cross-sectional potential outcomes framework to a time series setting. We also…

无限阶向量自回归的自动推断AI 解读

Infinite order vector autoregressive (VAR) models have been used in a number of applications ranging from spectral density estimation, impulse response analysis, and tests for cointegration and unit roots, to forecasting. For estimation of such models it is necessary to approximate the infinite order lag structure by finite order VARs. In practice, the order of approximation is often selected by information criteria or by general-to-specific specification tests. Unlike in…

条件异方差自回归模型的有效工具变量估计AI 解读

This paper analyzes autoregressive time series models where the errors are assumed to be martingale difference sequences that satisfy an additional symmetry condition on their fourth-order moments. Under these conditions quasi maximum likelihood estimators of the autoregressive parameters are no longer efficient in the generalized method of moments (GMM) sense. The main result of the paper is the construction of efficient semiparametric instrumental variables estimators for…

广义矩估计AI 解读

The generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation has emerged as providing a ready to use, flexible tool of application to a large number of econometric and economic models by relying on mild, plausible assumptions. The principal objective of this volume is to offer a complete presentation of the theory of GMM estimation as well as insights into the use of these methods in empirical studies. It is also designed to serve as a unified framework for teaching estimation theory…
