Inferential theory for heterogeneity and cointegration in large panels
大规模面板中异质性与协整的推断理论
This paper provides an estimation and testing framework to assess the presence and the extent of slope heterogeneity and cointegration when the units are a mixture of spurious and/or cointegrating regressions. We propose two moment estimators for the degree of heterogeneity (measured by the dispersion of the slope coefficients around their average) and for the fraction of spurious regressions, which are found to be consistent in the whole parameter space. Based on these…
