时变个体效应面板数据中的变点估计AI 解读

Summary Existing panel data methods remove unobserved individual effects before change point estimation through data transformations such as first‐differencing. In this paper, we show that multiple change points can be consistently estimated in short panels via ordinary least squares. Since no data variation is removed before change point estimation, our method has better small‐sample properties compared to first‐differencing methods. We also propose two tests that identify…

结构变化检验的自助法AI 解读

This paper demonstrates the asymptotic validity of methods based on the wild recursive and wild fixed bootstraps for testing hypotheses about discrete parameter change in linear models estimated via Two Stage Least Squares. The framework allows for the errors to exhibit conditional and/or unconditional heteroscedasticity, and for the reduced form to be unstable. Simulation evidence indicates the bootstrap tests yield reliable inferences in the sample sizes often encountered…

时变信息下的有效估计与新凯恩斯主义菲利普斯曲线AI 解读

Empirical evidence suggests that many macroeconometric and financial models are subject to both instability and identification problems. We address both issues under the unified framework of time-varying information, which includes changes in instrument strength, in second moment of instruments, and in the variance of moment conditions. Our new estimation method exploits these changes for increased efficiency of the estimates of the (stable) structural parameters. We also…

不稳定非线性最小二乘模型的估计与推断AI 解读

There is compelling evidence that many macroeconomic and financial variables are not generated by linear models. This evidence is based on testing linearity against either smooth nonlinearity or piece-wise linearity, but there is no framework that encompasses both. This paper provides an econometric framework that allows for both breaks and smooth nonlinearity in between breaks. We estimate the unknown break-dates simultaneously with other parameters via nonlinear…

含内生解释变量的线性模型中多重结构变化的推断AI 解读

This paper considers the linear model with endogenous regressors and multiple changes in the parameters at unknown times. It is shown that minimization of a Generalized Method of Moments criterion yields inconsistent estimators of the break fractions, but minimization of the Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS) criterion yields consistent estimators of these parameters. We develop a methodology for estimation and inference of the parameters of the model based on 2SLS. The analysis…
