大面板中的近似斜率同质性检验AI 解读

In this paper, we introduce new inference methods for slope homogeneity in large regression panels. While most existing tests are developed for the hypothesis of slope homogeneity (equality of all individual slopes), we propose to test the more realistic relaxation of approximate slope homogeneity (similarity of all slopes). We present new test statistics for dense and sparse alternatives to approximate homogeneity. In the dense setting, the main focus of this paper, we…

双重差分估计中处理前趋势的等价性检验AI 解读

The plausibility of the “parallel trends assumption” in Difference-in-Differences estimation is usually assessed by a test of the null hypothesis that the difference between the average outcomes of both groups is constant over time before the treatment. However, failure to reject the null hypothesis does not imply the absence of differences in time trends between both groups. We provide equivalence tests that allow researchers to find evidence in favor of the parallel trends…

多元广义分位数回归的置信带AI 解读

We focus on the construction of confidence corridors for multivariate nonparametric generalized quantile regression functions. This construction is based on asymptotic results for the maximal deviation between a suitable nonparametric estimator and the true function of interest, which follow after a series of approximation steps including a Bahadur representation, a new strong approximation theorem, and exponential tail inequalities for Gaussian random fields. As a byproduct…

用分位数检验多元经济限制：斯勒茨基矩阵负半定性AI 解读

This paper is concerned with testing a core economic restriction, negative semidefiniteness of the Slutsky matrix. We consider a system of nonseparable structural equations with infinite dimensional unobservables, and employ quantile regression methods because they allow us to utilize the entire distribution of the data. Difficulties arise because the restriction involves several equations, while the quantile is a univariate concept. We establish that we may use quantiles of…

分位数回归模型的最优设计AI 解读

Despite their importance, optimal designs for quantile regression models have not been developed so far. In this article, we investigate the D-optimal design problem for nonlinear quantile regression analysis. We provide a necessary condition to check the optimality of a given design and use it to determine bounds for the number of support points of locally D-optimal designs. The results are illustrated, determining locally, Bayesian and standardized maximin D-optimal…

不交叉分位数曲线的非参数估计AI 解读

Summary Since the introduction by Koenker and Bassett, quantile regression has become increasingly important in many applications. However, many non-parametric conditional quantile estimates yield crossing quantile curves (calculated for various p ∈ (0, 1)). We propose a new non-parametric estimate of conditional quantiles that avoids this problem. The method uses an initial estimate of the conditional distribution function in the first step and solves the problem of…
