交互效应面板模型中的多重结构突变AI 解读

ABSTRACT This paper develops new econometric methods for multiple structural break detection in panel data models with interactive fixed effects. The new methods include tests for the presence of structural breaks, estimators for the number of breaks and their location, and a method for constructing asymptotically valid break date confidence intervals. The new methodology is applied to a large panel of US banks for a period characterized by massive quantitative easing…

农村养老金、劳动力再配置与总收入：中国的实证和量化分析AI 解读

We exploit the implementation of a rural pension policy in China to estimate the average rural‐to‐urban migration cost for workers affected by the policy and the average underlying sectoral productivity difference. Our estimates, based on a large panel data set, reveal significant migration costs and substantial sectoral productivity differences, with sorting playing a minor role in accounting for sectoral labor income gaps. We construct and structurally estimate a general…

交互固定效应高维面板模型的估计与推断AI 解读

We develop new econometric methods for estimation and inference in high‐dimensional panel data models with interactive fixed effects. Our approach can be regarded as a nontrivial extension of the very popular common correlated effects (CCE) approach. Roughly speaking, we proceed as follows: We first construct a projection device to eliminate the unobserved factors from the model by applying a dimensionality reduction transform to the matrix of cross‐sectionally averaged…

动态有序面板 Logit 模型AI 解读

This paper studies a dynamic ordered logit model for panel data with fixed effects. The main contribution of the paper is to construct a set of valid moment conditions that are free of the fixed effects. The moment functions can be computed using four or more periods of data, and the paper presents sufficient conditions for the moment conditions to identify the common parameters of the model, namely the regression coefficients, the autoregressive parameters, and the…

稀疏纵向数据的独立性检验AI 解读

Abstract With the advance of science and technology, more and more data are collected in the form of functions. A fundamental question for a pair of random functions is to test whether they are independent. This problem becomes quite challenging when the random trajectories are sampled irregularly and sparsely for each subject. In other words, each random function is only sampled at a few time-points, and these time-points vary with subjects. Furthermore, the observed data…

面向多分辨率数据的个体化动态潜因子模型及其移动健康应用AI 解读

Summary Mobile health has emerged as a major success for tracking individual health status, due to the popularity and power of smartphones and wearable devices. This has also brought great challenges in handling heterogeneous, multi-resolution data that arise ubiquitously in mobile health due to irregular multivariate measurements collected from individuals. In this paper, we propose an individualized dynamic latent factor model for irregular multi-resolution time series…

含交互固定效应的核范数正则化分位数回归AI 解读

This paper studies large N and large T conditional quantile panel data models with interactive fixed effects. We propose a nuclear norm penalized estimator of the coefficients on the covariates and the low-rank matrix formed by the interactive fixed effects. The estimator solves a convex minimization problem, not requiring pre-estimation of the (number of) interactive fixed effects. It also allows the number of covariates to grow slowly with N and T . We derive an error…

大面板中的近似斜率同质性检验AI 解读

In this paper, we introduce new inference methods for slope homogeneity in large regression panels. While most existing tests are developed for the hypothesis of slope homogeneity (equality of all individual slopes), we propose to test the more realistic relaxation of approximate slope homogeneity (similarity of all slopes). We present new test statistics for dense and sparse alternatives to approximate homogeneity. In the dense setting, the main focus of this paper, we…

短时间维度面板中的异质自回归AI 解读

Summary This paper considers a first‐order autoregressive (AR) panel data model with individual‐specific effects and heterogeneous AR coefficients defined on the interval , thus allowing for some of the individual processes to have unit roots. It proposes estimators for the moments of the cross‐sectional distribution of the AR coefficients, assuming a random coefficient model for the AR coefficients without imposing any restrictions on the fixed effects. It is shown that the…

面板处理效应测量：因子模型还是线性投影？AI 解读

Summary We discuss methods of measuring the treatment effects of a unit through the use of other units in panel data by either the factor‐based (FB) approach or the linear projection (LP) approach under different sample configurations of cross‐sectional dimension and time series dimension . We show that the LP approach in general yields smaller mean square prediction error than the FB approach when either both and are large or fixed and or fixed and large. The Monte Carlo…

非参数冲击贝叶斯 VAR 的快速且排序不变推断AI 解读

Summary The shocks that hit macroeconomic models such as Vector Autoregressions (VARs) have the potential to be non‐Gaussian, exhibiting asymmetries and fat tails. This consideration motivates the VAR developed in this paper that uses a Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) to model the reduced‐form shocks. However, we do not follow the obvious strategy of simply modeling the VAR errors with a DPM as this would lead to computationally infeasible Bayesian inference in larger VARs…

固定效应动态离散选择模型中平均边际效应的识别AI 解读

Abstract In nonlinear panel data models, fixed-effects methods are often criticized because they cannot identify average marginal effects (AMEs) in short panels. In contrast with that criticism, we prove the point identification of different AMEs, including causal effects of changes in the lagged dependent variable or the last choice's duration, in a panel dynamic logit model for T as small as three. Our proofs are constructive and provide simple closed-form expressions for…

纵向与面板数据的因果模型：综述AI 解读

Summary In this survey we discuss the recent causal panel data literature. This recent literature has focused on credibly estimating causal effects of binary interventions in settings with longitudinal data, emphasising practical advice for empirical researchers. It pays particular attention to heterogeneity in the causal effects, often in situations where few units are treated and with particular structures on the assignment pattern. The literature has extended earlier work…

门槛非线性与民主—增长关系AI 解读

Summary This paper investigates the relationship between democracy and economic growth in the context of a linear index threshold regression model. We first introduce the baseline model with endogeneity and propose a two-step smoothed generalised method of moments estimation method. We establish the consistency and derive the asymptotic distributions of the proposed estimators. We then extend the approach to a dynamic panel context and employ the model to explore the impact…

带固定效应的变系数空间动态面板模型：理论与应用AI 解读

This paper considers a varying-coefficient spatial dynamic panel data model with fixed effects. We show that a two-point approximation method poses a potential weak identification problem. We propose a robust modified estimator to address this issue. Our two-step estimation procedure incorporates both linear and quadratic moment conditions. We also extend our analysis to a partially linear varying-coefficient model and develop a consistent test for this specification. We…

异时采样分子数据的高效溯祖模型AI 解读

Molecular sequence variation at a locus informs about the evolutionary history of the sample and past population size dynamics. The Kingman coalescent is used in a generative model of molecular sequence variation to infer evolutionary parameters. However, it is well understood that inference under this model does not scale well with sample size. Here, we build on recent work based on a lower resolution coalescent process, the Tajima coalescent, to model longitudinal samples.…

利用变分贝叶斯与拉普拉斯近似拟合潜在非高斯模型AI 解读

Latent Gaussian models (LGMs) are perhaps the most commonly used class of models in statistical applications. Nevertheless, in areas ranging from longitudinal studies in biostatistics to geostatistics, it is easy to find datasets that contain inherently non-Gaussian features, such as sudden jumps or spikes, that adversely affect the inferences and predictions made using an LGM. These datasets require more general latent non-Gaussian models (LnGMs) that can handle…

存在偏差时的自助法推断AI 解读

We consider bootstrap inference for estimators which are (asymptotically) biased. We show that, even when the bias term cannot be consistently estimated, valid inference can be obtained by proper implementations of the bootstrap. Specifically, we show that the prepivoting approach of Beran (1987, 1988), originally proposed to deliver higher-order refinements, restores bootstrap validity by transforming the original bootstrap p-value into an asymptotically uniform random…

面板数据模型的高阶展开与统计推断AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a simple inferential method for a wide class of panel data models with a focus on such cases that have both serial correlation and cross-sectional dependence. In order to establish an asymptotic theory to support the inferential method, we develop some new and useful higher-order expansions, such as Berry-Esseen bound and Edgeworth Expansion, under a set of simple and general conditions. We further demonstrate the usefulness of these theoretical…

Pseudo Marginal Metropolis-Hastings (PMMH) is a general approach to Bayesian inference when the likelihood is intractable, but can be estimated unbiasedly.Our article develops an efficient PMMH method that scales up better to higher dimensional state vectors than previous approaches.The improvement is achieved by the following innovations.First, a novel block version of PMMH that works with multiple particle filters is proposed.Second, the trimmed mean of the unbiased…

利用多国非参数分位数因子模型研究增长风险AI 解读

We develop a nonparametric quantile panel regression model.Within each quantile, the quantile function is a combination of linear and nonlinear parts, which we approximate using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART).Cross-sectional information is captured through a conditionally heteroscedastic latent factor.The nonparametric feature enhances flexibility, while the panel feature increases the number of observations in the tails.We develop Bayesian methods for inference…

使用组别交互固定效应多层回归模型进行政策分析AI 解读

The use of multilevel regression models is prevalent in policy analysis to estimate the effect of group level policies on individual outcomes. In order to allow for the time varying effect of group heterogeneity and the group specific impact of time effects, we propose a group interactive fixed effects approach that employs interaction terms of group factor loadings and common factors in this model. For this approach, we consider the least squares estimator and associated…

双重差分估计中处理前趋势的等价性检验AI 解读

The plausibility of the “parallel trends assumption” in Difference-in-Differences estimation is usually assessed by a test of the null hypothesis that the difference between the average outcomes of both groups is constant over time before the treatment. However, failure to reject the null hypothesis does not imply the absence of differences in time trends between both groups. We provide equivalence tests that allow researchers to find evidence in favor of the parallel trends…

非共同结构断点AI 解读

We develop a new Bayesian approach to estimate noncommon structural breaks in panel regression models. Any subset of the cross-section may be hit at different times within a break window. Break-specific parameters are learned from the cross-section. They reflect whether (i) breaks hit many or few series and (ii) there is a long or short lag between the first and final series hit by a break. In an empirical application to international stock return predictability, the method…
