Estimation and inference for multi-dimensional heterogeneous panel datasets with hierarchical multi-factor error structure
层级多因子误差下多维异质面板的估计与推断
Given the growing availability of large datasets and following recent research trends on multi-dimensional modelling, we develop three dimensional (3D) panel data models with hierarchical error components that allow for strong cross-section dependence through unobserved heterogeneous global and local factors. We propose consistent estimation procedures by extending the common correlated effects (CCE) estimation approach proposed by Pesaran (2006). The standard CCE approach…
