含未观测异质性的大型面板多重结构突变估计AI 解读

This article proposes a novel algorithm to identify potentially multiple breaks in linear panel data models, while the slope coefficients can have individual heterogeneity and the cross-sectional dimension is allowed to diverge jointly with the time span. The algorithm adopts a shrinkage penalty to detect breaks, and delivers a consistent estimator for the number of breaks and fraction-consistent estimators for break dates. In the presence of latent grouped heterogeneity, we…

具有不可观测分组异质性的面板自回归模型统一推断AI 解读

This paper considers unified estimation and inference in panel autoregressive (PAR) models. The PAR coefficients are assumed to contain a latent group structure that allows the degree of persistence for each time series to be heterogeneous and unknown. We propose a novel penalized weighted least squares approach to simultaneously identify the unknown group membership and consistently estimate the PAR coefficients, regardless of whether the underlying PAR process is…

不稳定环境中的局部投影AI 解读

This paper develops a local projection estimator for estimating impulse responses in the presence of time variation. Importantly, we allow local instabilities in both slope coefficients and variances. Monte Carlo simulations illustrate that the method performs well in practice. Using our proposed estimator, we shed new light on the effects of fiscal policy shocks and the size of government spending multipliers. Our analysis uncovers the existence of instabilities that were…
