什么解释了国际利率的共同变动？AI 解读

ABSTRACT The international co‐movement of interest rates reflects correlated business‐cycle fluctuations, largely driven by demand shocks. Monetary policy in advanced economies follows domestic mandates—inflation and the output gap—and does not respond to foreign policy shocks. We derive this result from a Bayesian structural panel vector autoregression with informative priors, homogeneity restrictions on contemporaneous relations, a hierarchical Minnesota prior with…

无限阶面板自回归过程的工具变量估计AI 解读

We consider instrumental variables (IV) estimation of a possibly infinite order dynamic panel autoregressive (AR) process with individual effects. The estimation is based on the sieve AR approximation, with its lag order increasing with sample size. Transforming the variable to eliminate individual effects generates an endogeneity problem, particularly when the time series is only moderately long. IV approaches are useful to obtain well-behaved estimators in panels with…

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…

气候敏感度是否因地区而异？变系数方法AI 解读

Global mean surface temperature has been increasing in response to growing greenhouse gas concentrations (IPCC, 2021). While Earth is getting warmer overall, regions that have different local geographical features experience unequal increases in temperature. In this paper, we develop a varying-coefficient dynamic panel data model and use it to measure local climate sensitivity, defined as the increase in temperature in a given location following a doubling of CO2…

含结构变化的空间面板数据模型AI 解读

Spatial panel data models have gained widespread application in social sciences, particularly in economics, due to their ability to capture spatial dependencies. However, existing studies on spatial models typically rely on the assumption of parameter stability, which may be overly restrictive given the well-documented prevalence of structural changes in economic relationships. This paper addresses this limitation by proposing and analyzing spatial panel data models that…

基于独立性准则的面板结构 VAR 统计识别AI 解读

Summary This paper introduces a novel panel approach to structural vector autoregressive analysis. For identification, we impose independence of structural innovations at the pooled level. We demonstrate robustness of the method under cross‐sectional correlation and heterogeneity through simulation experiments. In an empirical application on monetary policy transmission in the Euro area, we find that bond spreads rise significantly after an unexpected monetary tightening.…

具有交互效应的动态面板模型似然方法AI 解读

This paper studies dynamic panel models with a factor error structure that is correlated with the regressors. Both short panels (small T) and long panels (large T) are considered. A dynamic panel forms a simultaneous-equation system, and under the factor error structure, there exist constraints between the mean and the covariance matrix. We explore the constraints through a quasi-FIML (full information maximum likelihood) approach. The quasi-FIML approach does not estimate…

含个体、时间及交互效应的短期动态面板模型AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes a transformed quasi‐maximum likelihood (TQML) estimator for short dynamic fixed effects panel data models allowing for interactive effects through a multifactor error structure. The proposed estimator is robust to the heterogeneity of the initial values and common unobserved effects, while at the same time allowing for standard fixed and time effects. It is applicable to both stationary and unit root cases. The order condition for identification…

基于截面相关面板的即时预测AI 解读

Summary This paper builds a mixed‐frequency panel data model for nowcasting economic variables across many countries. The model extends the mixed‐frequency panel vector autoregression (MF‐PVAR) to allow for heterogeneous coefficients and a multifactor error structure to model cross‐sectional dependence. We propose a modified common correlated effects (CCE) estimation technique which performs well in simulations. The model is applied in two distinct settings: nowcasting gross…

动态面板数据模型的间接推断估计AI 解读

This paper proposes an estimator for higher-order dynamic panel models based on the idea of indirect inference by matching the simple within-group estimator with its analytical approximate expectation. The resulting estimator is shown to be consistent and asymptotically normal. For the special case of first-order dynamic panel, the estimator yields numerically the same result from an existing procedure in the literature, but the inference to follow differs and this paper…

重印：异质面板中的单位根检验AI 解读

This paper proposes unit root tests for dynamic heterogeneous panels based on the mean of individual unit root statistics. In particular it proposes a standardized t-bar test statistic based on the (augmented) Dickey–Fuller statistics averaged across the groups. Under a general setting this statistic is shown to converge in probability to a standard normal variate sequentially with T (the time series dimension) →∞, followed by N (the cross sectional dimension) →∞. A diagonal…

具有内生同步效应的马尔可夫转换面板模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a new dynamic panel model with multi-layer network effects. Series-specific latent Markov chain processes drive the dynamics of the observable processes, and several types of interaction effects among the hidden chains allow for various degrees of endogenous synchronization of both latent and observable processes. The interaction is driven by a multi-layer network with exogenous and endogenous connectivity layers. We provide some theoretical properties…

近单位根交互效应面板中的因子分析方法AI 解读

In a recent study, Bai (2013) proposes a new factor analytical (FA) method for estimation of stationary dynamic panel data models with fixed effects. Our interest in this method originates with the fact it does not require explicit demeaning of the data, a practice that is known to cause problems of bias and low power in near unit root panels. The purpose is to study the properties of FA when applied to such panels when the common component admits to a interactive effects…

重新审视中国FDI区位：异质冲击面板方法AI 解读

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is viewed as a primary driving force in shaping the global economy and receives particular attention in empirical studies. In this paper, we argue that many of the existing studies ignore endogeneities that arise from shocks in source and destination countries. To address this endogeneity issue, we take the “controlling through estimating” idea from the econometric literature and propose using panel data models with heterogeneous shocks to…

动态面板空间向量自回归估计：稳定性与空间多变量协整AI 解读

This paper introduces dynamic panel spatial vector autoregressive models. We study features of dynamics and spatial interactions that an SVAR model can generate and classify the model into stable or unstable cases by partitioning parameter spaces. For stable, spatial cointegration, and mixed cointegration cases, we investigate identification and QML estimation of the models to take into account simultaneity and correlated relationships. Asymptotic properties and…

含 MIDAS 协变量的动态面板：非线性、估计与拟合AI 解读

This paper introduces Mixed Data Sampling (MIDAS) into the panel data context. To address the unidentified nuisance parameter problem, we propose to invert model specification tests for inference on the MIDAS parameter along with bounds tests for model coefficients. Illustrative identification, simulation and empirical analyses are conducted in the dynamic GMM framework. Our framework allows for departures from i.i.d errors such as clustering and dynamic specifications. A…

动态面板中的偏误校正共同相关效应合并估计AI 解读

This article extends the common correlated effects pooled (CCEP) estimator to homogenous dynamic panels. In this setting, CCEP suffers from a large bias when the time span (T) of the dataset is fixed. We develop a bias-corrected CCEP estimator that is consistent as the number of cross-sectional units (N) tends to infinity, for T fixed or growing large, provided that the specification is augmented with a sufficient number of cross-sectional averages, and lags thereof. Monte…

国家层面新冠活跃感染人数的面板预测AI 解读

We use a dynamic panel data model to generate density forecasts for daily active Covid-19 infections for a panel of countries/regions. Our specification that assumes the growth rate of active infections can be represented by autoregressive fluctuations around a downward sloping deterministic trend function with a break. Our fully Bayesian approach allows us to flexibly estimate the cross-sectional distribution of slopes and then implicitly use this distribution as prior to…

初创企业对地方劳动力市场的作用AI 解读

Summary There are substantial differences in startup activity across US local labor markets. We study the causes and consequences of these differences. Startup productivity shocks are found to drive much of these cross‐city differences in startup activity. Examples of such shocks include breakthroughs in biotech that spurred startup formation in San Diego and Philadelphia. Overall, these shocks explain half of the forecast error variance of startup job creation, accounting…

地球瞬态气候敏感度的计量估计AI 解读

How sensitive is Earth’s climate to a given increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations? This long-standing question in climate science was recently analyzed by dynamic panel data methods using extensive spatio-temporal data of global surface temperatures, solar radiation, and GHG concentrations over the last half century to 2010 (Storelvmo et al, 2016). Those methods revealed that atmospheric aerosol effects masked approximately one-third of the continental…

This paper considers a class of generalized methods of moments (GMM) estimators for general dynamic panel models, allowing for weakly exogenous covariates and cross‐sectional dependence due to spatial lags, unspecified common shocks, and time‐varying interactive effects. We significantly expand the scope of the existing literature by allowing for endogenous time‐varying spatial weight matrices without imposing explicit structural assumptions on how the weights are formed. An…

This paper considers the problem of forecasting a collection of short time series using cross‐sectional information in panel data. We construct point predictors using Tweedie's formula for the posterior mean of heterogeneous coefficients under a correlated random effects distribution. This formula utilizes cross‐sectional information to transform the unit‐specific (quasi) maximum likelihood estimator into an approximation of the posterior mean under a prior distribution that…

长程依赖下的面板数据模型系统估计AI 解读

A general dynamic panel data model is considered that incorporates individual and interactive fixed effects allowing for contemporaneous correlation in model innovations. The model accommodates general stationary or nonstationary long-range dependence through interactive fixed effects and innovations, removing the necessity to perform a priori unit-root or stationarity testing. Moreover, persistence in innovations and interactive fixed effects allows for cointegration;…

无限阶自回归过程动态面板估计的渐近推断AI 解读

In this paper we consider the estimation of a dynamic panel autoregressive (AR) process of possibly infinite order in the presence of individual effects. We employ double asymptotics under which both the cross-sectional sample size and the length of time series tend to infinity and utilize the sieve AR approximation with its lag order increasing with the sample size. We establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the fixed effects estimator and propose a…
