非线性结构模型中边际效应分布与分位数的面板估计：垃圾食品需求应用AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a framework to estimate the distribution of marginal effects in a general class of structural models that allow for very general nonlinearities, high dimensional heterogeneity, and unrestricted correlation between the persistent components of this heterogeneity and all covariates. The main idea is to form a derivative dependent variable using two periods of the panel and use differences in outcome variables of nearby subpopulations to obtain the…

异质性部分干扰下观察性研究处理效应的半参数估计AI 解读

In many observational studies in social science and medicine, subjects or units are connected, and one unit’s treatment and attributes may affect another’s treatment and outcome, violating the stable unit treatment value assumption (SUTVA) and resulting in interference. To enable feasible estimation and inference, many previous works assume exchangeability of interfering units (neighbors). However, in many applications with distinctive units, interference is heterogeneous…

利用解偏变量进行因果推断AI 解读

This paper shows that incorporating what we call antidotal variables (AV) into a causal treatment effects analysis can with one cross-sectional regression identify the causal effect, the spillover effect, as well as possible biases from selectivity. We apply the AV technique to analyze leave taking arising from the California Paid Family Leave (CPFL) program. Our analysis yields between a 55% and 70% larger treatment effect than the traditional DID methods, which we…

弱识别与少量聚类下工具变量分位数回归的梯度野生自助法AI 解读

We study the gradient wild bootstrap-based inference for instrumental variable quantile regressions in the framework of a small number of large clusters in which the number of clusters is viewed as fixed, and the number of observations for each cluster diverges to infinity. For the Wald inference, we show that our wild bootstrap Wald test, with or without studentization using the cluster-robust covariance estimator (CRVE), controls size asymptotically up to a small error as…

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…

排序数据的静态与动态贝叶斯加性回归树模型AI 解读

Ranking lists are often provided at regular time intervals in a range of applications, including economics, sports, marketing, and politics. Most popular methods for rank-order data postulate a linear specification for the latent scores, which determine the observed ranks, and ignore the temporal dependence of the ranking lists. To address these issues, novel nonparametric static (ROBART) and autoregressive (ARROBART) models are developed, with latent scores defined as…

利用辅助数据界定遗漏变量偏差：邻里效应估计应用AI 解读

This paper develops a method for estimating a superset that contains the linear projection coefficients of an outcome variable y onto a full set of covariates (x,z,w), when the available data are split across two independent sources. One dataset identifies the joint distribution of y and a subset of covariates (z,w), while the other identifies the joint distribution of (x,z). This framework is motivated by applications where administrative data lacks information on…

矩阵分位数因子模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a matrix quantile factor model for matrix-valued data with low-rank structure. We estimate the row and column factor spaces via minimizing the empirical check loss function with orthogonal rotation constraints. We show that the estimates converge at rate (min{p1p2,p2T,p1T})−1/2 in the average Frobenius norm, where p1, p2 and T are the row dimensionality, column dimensionality and length of the matrix sequence, respectively. This rate is faster than that…

高维干扰参数下分位数回归高维效应的去相关检验AI 解读

Quantile regression provides a flexible framework in econometrics for modeling the relationship between a response variable and multivariate predictors, particularly when heterogeneous effects are present. This paper addresses the challenge of testing high-dimensional coefficients in quantile regression in the presence of high-dimensional nuisance parameters. We first extend a recently proposed score test by incorporating a convolution-type smoothed quantile loss, which…

利用大时间维度面板数据估计未观测的横截面网络连接AI 解读

We propose a simple three-step method to estimate the cross-sectional interdependence in a customary network econometric model with an unobserved network and a large T. First, we estimate the reduced-form model to construct instruments for the endogenous peer outcomes. Second, we use two-stage least squares to estimate the direct and contextual effects of the exogenous regressors, as well as the endogenous peer effect. Third, we estimate the network weight matrix. Monte…

面板MIDAS模型非线性最小二乘估计量的渐近分布AI 解读

The Mixed Data Sampling (MIDAS) approach provides a flexible framework for incorporating mixed-frequency data into econometric models. In this paper, we introduce the MIDAS framework into a panel data model and derive the asymptotic properties of the NLS estimator under a joint asymptotic framework where both N and T tend to infinity, allowing for heteroskedasticity and arbitrary correlation within each individual. To facilitate valid inference, we construct robust…

存在少报的有序选择模型中的变化中的变化AI 解读

We develop a Difference-in-Differences framework for discrete, ordered outcomes subject to underreporting. Such outcomes commonly arise in self-reported surveys on socially undesirable or stigmatized behaviors, where respondents may conceal their true behavior. For a discrete Changes-in-Changes model that is shown to admit an equivalent threshold-crossing representation, we derive nonparametric bounds for the counterfactual and factual outcome distributions as well as for…

空间动态面板的再中心化矩估计量AI 解读

This paper proposes a recentered method of moments (RMM) approach for estimating spatial dynamic panel data (SDPD) models with both individual and time fixed effects. This approach directly exploits the correlation of regressors and disturbances, where heteroskedasticity may exist across units and/or over time. It is computationally tractable and can handle situations where other methods are not applicable. We show that the proposed estimator is consistent and asymptotically…

STRAP：利用随机投影的多元同质性平滑检验AI 解读

In this paper, we propose STRAP (Smooth Tests using RAdom Projections), projected smooth tests for the equality of two multivariate distributions. We employ random projections to map the multivariate data into one-dimensional data and transform the projected data via the probability integral transformation. Under the null hypothesis of homogeneity, the transformed data follow the standard uniform distribution, reducing the problem to testing for uniformity. Building on…

近历元依赖重尾时间序列的极端局部线性分位数回归AI 解读

This paper develops a data-driven inference procedure for extreme analysis of data with near epoch dependence (NED), a condition less restrictive than traditional dependence structures like α-mixing, making it particularly useful for analyzing heavy-tailed time series data. To capture nonlinear data structures, we propose a new framework that combines local linear quantile regression with extreme value theory. We first study the asymptotic properties of the local-linear…

1 IntroductionDano et al. (2026) develop a novel conditional logit approach to identify the structural parameters of a model of dynamic network formation. They propose a conditional maximum likelih...

面板双重差分估计的简单变换方法AI 解读

In the case of panel data with staggered interventions, we propose a simple time-series transformation that can be combined with various treatment effect estimators. The transformation is at the unit level, and simply requires computing the average outcome prior to an intervention, subtracting it from a post-treatment outcome, and then carefully selecting the control units in each time period. We show that under no anticipation and parallel trends assumptions, the cohort…

具有潜在分组结构的面板随机前沿模型AI 解读

Stochastic frontier models have attracted considerable attention due to the incorporation of an inefficiency term in addition to the conventional error term. In this paper, we propose a general estimation framework for panel stochastic frontier models that accommodates potential heterogeneity through latent group structures. The framework is tailored to the distinctive features of stochastic frontier models and is paired with a practical hybrid estimation procedure that…

一类半参数多项选择模型的闭式估计量AI 解读

We consider a semiparametric multinomial choice model that allows for an arbitrary joint distribution of choice specific unobservables that are independent of explanatory variables. This model permits relatively flexible substitution patterns between choices. To minimize computational difficulties, we restrict attention on estimators of the model that can be expressed in closed form. We combine and extend various results from the existing literature to enforce economic…

多层网络社区检测的矩整合与偏差调整谱方法AI 解读

To detect the global community structure of multi-layer networks, individual layers might not provide sufficient information. It is of vital importance to effectively complement the information from the network data. In this paper, under the framework of multi-layer stochastic block model, a Spectral method with Moments integration and Bias Adjustment (SpecMBA) is proposed for community detection. The key distinguishing feature of SpecMBA is the adaptive integration of both…

通过干扰平衡设计网络实验AI 解读

Randomized experiments are widely used to estimate the causal effects of treatment or intervention across various scientific fields. Nowadays, numerous experiments are conducted in network settings where the outcome of one unit depends not only on its own treatment but also on the treatments of other units within the network. This phenomenon, known as network interference, poses significant challenges for experimental design. Existing randomization methods often neglect…

控制错误发现率与功效的贝叶斯 A/B 测试设计AI 解读

Businesses frequently run online controlled experiments (i.e., A/B tests) to learn about the effect of an intervention on multiple business metrics. To account for multiple hypothesis testing, multiple metrics are commonly aggregated into a single composite measure, losing valuable information, or strict family-wise error rate adjustments are imposed, leading to reduced power. In this paper, we propose an economical framework to design Bayesian A/B tests while controlling…

空间干扰效应的高维检测AI 解读

Modeling interference effects in high-dimensional settings presents significant challenges due to the complexity of underlying dependence structures. Existing approaches often rely on explicit and homogeneous assumptions, limiting their applicability in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a novel low-rank and sparse treatment effect model that leverages high-dimensional techniques to identify interference structures without restrictive parametric assumptions.…

This article introduces a time-varying panel data model that incorporates latent group structures, designed to tackle both individual heterogeneity and smooth structural changes over time. We develop an innovative center-augmented K-power means (KPM) methodology that promotes convergence of subjects toward their respective cluster centers, enabling the identification of latent group structures without requiring prior knowledge of group composition. This approach delivers…
