交互固定效应面板数据模型与（相对）小 TAI 解读

This paper studies the estimation of a linear panel data model with interactive fixed effects. A transformation is introduced which, after having been applied, renders the least squares (LS) estimator of Bai (2009) consistent and asymptotically unbiased when n is large and T is fixed. This is termed the transformed least squares (TLS) estimator. Going further, these properties are shown to also carry over to the large n, large T setting, provided T /n → 0. This contrasts…

基于离散傅里叶变换检验交互固定效应面板模型的结构变化AI 解读

We propose a discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based test for detecting structural changes in panel data models with interactive fixed effects (IFE). When structural changes are present but ignored, the conventional asymptotic distribution of the least squares (LS) estimator of Bai (2009) may no longer provide reliable inference, and the resulting residuals contain signals of parameter instability. Our test exploits this feature by comparing the DFT of weighted residuals to…

异质性面板中的个体平均估计AI 解读

In this work, we introduce a unit averaging procedure to efficiently recover unit-specific parameters in a heterogeneous panel model. The procedure consists in estimating the parameter of a given unit using a weighted average of all the unit-specific parameter estimators in the panel. The weights of the average are determined by minimizing an MSE criterion we derive. We analyze the properties of the resulting minimum MSE unit averaging estimator in a local heterogeneity…

MCA：面向条件众数的高维众数成分分析AI 解读

The modal factor model represents a novel statistical framework for dimension reduction in high dimensional panel data analysis. It is specifically designed to capture modal factors which exert a significant influence on the conditional mode of the distribution of the observables. Statistical inference for this model is developed based on a newly proposed modal component analysis, where modal factors and their corresponding loadings are estimated through maximizing a…

资源丰富经济体的财政政策状态AI 解读

ABSTRACT We analyse fiscal policy in resource‐rich economies using a novel Bayesian regime‐switching panel model. The identified regimes capture pro‐ or countercyclical fiscal behaviour by allowing regime‐specific shifts in the average fiscal stance, while the switches between the regimes have the interpretation of changes in fiscal policy. Applying the model to a panel of sixteen oil‐producing economies, we show that fiscal policy has alternated between a procyclical and…

弱因子增强回归模型的偏差校正AI 解读

In this paper, we study the asymptotic bias of the factor-augmented regression estimator and its reduction, which is augmented by the $r$ factors extracted from a large number of $N$ variables with $T$ observations. In particular, we consider general weak latent factor models with $r$ signal eigenvalues that may diverge at different rates, $N^{α_{k}}$, $0<α_{k}\leq 1$, $k=1,\dots,r$. In the existing literature, the bias has been derived using an approximation for the…

通过函数逼近对随机趋势进行典型相关分析AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel approach for semiparametric inference on the number s of common trends and their loading matrix ψ in I(1)/I(0) systems. It combines functional approximation of limits of random walks and canonical correlation analysis, performed between the p observed time series of length T and the first K discretized elements of an L2 basis. Tests and selection criteria for s and estimators and tests on ψ are proposed; their properties are discussed as T and K…

资产价格能否帮助预测通胀？来自个股价格的证据AI 解读

This paper revisits the predictive power of asset prices for inflation, focusing on individual stock prices rather than aggregate indices. Using a large panel data of firm-level stock prices and applying machine learning techniques, we demonstrate that individual stock prices significantly enhance the accuracy of inflation forecasts, particularly over medium- to long-term horizons and during periods of high inflationary and deflationary pressure. Compared to composite and…

动态空间自回归模型的推断与变点检测AI 解读

We analyze a varying-coefficient spatial autoregressive model with spatial fixed effects. One salient feature of the model is the incorporation of multiple spatial weight matrices through their linear combinations with varying coefficients, which help solve the problem of choosing the most “correct” one for applied econometricians who often face the availability of multiple expert spatial weight matrices. We estimate and make inferences on the model coefficients and…

交互固定效应面板中潜在组结构的收缩估计与识别AI 解读

This paper provides a framework for joint shrinkage estimation and identification of latent group structures in panel data models with interactive fixed effects and large number of explanatory variables. The latent structure of the model allows individuals to be classified into a number of groups where the number of groups and/or each individual’s group identity are unknown. A doubly penalized principal component estimation procedure using a pairwise fusion penalty and an…

一般未知因子下共同相关效应回归的横截面自助法AI 解读

The Common Correlated Effects (CCE) approach enjoys considerable popularity for estimating factor-augmented panel data models. A key benefit is that by orthogonalizing the data on the available cross-section averages, the unobserved components are eliminated from the data, regardless of their order(s) of integration. This obviates the need for such knowledge, and makes CCE particularly attractive for macroeconomic applications, where the set of unobservables might contain…

经济增长建模的贝叶斯方法：变量选择与截面依赖AI 解读

This paper introduces a Bayesian framework designed to address two critical econometric challenges in empirical growth studies: variable selection and cross-sectional dependence. We first propose a growth regression model that incorporates cross-sectional dependence through a multi-factor structure and accounts for variable selection with sparse coefficients. We then introduce a new Bayesian Adaptive LASSO estimator specifically designed for this model, capable of performing…

大型贝叶斯矩阵自回归模型AI 解读

High-dimensional matrix-valued time-series are increasingly common in economics and finance. Prominent examples include large cross-region panels and dynamic economic networks. As the dimensions of the matrix grow, conventional approaches based on vector autoregressions—implemented by vectoring the matrix-valued data—become computationally infeasible. We introduce a class of large Bayesian matrix autoregressions (BMARs) that can accommodate time-varying volatility,…

含潜变量的马尔可夫过程学习与识别AI 解读

We consider the problem of identifying the parameters of a time-homogeneous bivariate Markov chain when only one of the two variables is observable. We show that, subject to conditions that we spell out, the transition kernel and the distribution of the initial condition are uniquely recoverable (up to an arbitrary relabelling of the state space of the latent variable) from the joint distribution of four (or more) consecutive time-series observations. The result is,…

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…

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…

大型 VAR 中溢出发送组与接收组的识别AI 解读

I propose an algorithm that partitions the series of a large vector autoregression (VAR) into groups based on the spillover structure. The novelty of the procedure is that it is capable of simultaneously detecting both the giver and receiver group structures. I study the properties of the algorithm when the data are generated by a class of network-based VAR models and show that it consistently detects the groups within this class. The methodology is applied to study the…

经验学习下非平稳非线性队列面板的最小二乘估计AI 解读

We discuss techniques of estimation and inference for nonstationary nonlinear cohort panels with learning from experience, showing, inter alia, the consistency and asymptotic normality of the nonlinear least squares estimator used in empirical practice. Potential pitfalls for hypothesis testing are identified and solutions proposed. Monte Carlo simulations verify the properties of the estimator and corresponding test statistics in finite samples, while an application to a…

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…

共同相关效应估计二十年：给应用研究者的五条经验AI 解读

This article distills the vast literature on Common Correlated Effects (CCE), initiated by the seminal contribution of Pesaran (2006), into five practical lessons. We provide a concise overview of the CCE framework and describe the reasons for its popularity in empirical (macro-) panel data research. The lessons we draw focus on aspects that have received substantial methodological attention, but remain underappreciated in empirical work.

面板数据预测：估计不确定性与参数异质性AI 解读

We provide a comprehensive examination of the predictive accuracy of panel forecasting methods based on individual, pooling, fixed effects, and empirical Bayes estimation, and propose optimal weights for forecast combination schemes. We consider linear panel data models, allowing for weakly exogenous regressors and correlated heterogeneity. We quantify the gains from exploiting panel data and demonstrate how forecasting performance depends on the degree of parameter…

多重结构突变与多因子误差下空间面板模型的收缩估计AI 解读

This study investigates spatial panel data models with a multifactor error structure and multiple structural breaks occurring in the coefficients of both spatial lagged and explanatory variables. While extensive research has addressed cross-sectional dependence in panel data, including approaches that integrate spatial and factor structures within a single framework, few studies account for time-varying model parameters and achieving consistent estimation remains a…
