共同相关效应回归的横截面 BootstrapAI 解读

The Common Correlated Effects (CCE) methodology is now well established for the analysis of factor-augmented panel data models. Yet, it is often neglected that the pooled variant is biased unless the cross-section dimension (N) of the dataset dominates the time series length (T). This is problematic for inference with typical macroeconomic datasets, where T is often equal or larger than N. In response, we establish in this paper the theoretical foundation of the…

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…

面板数据即时预测：市盈率案例AI 解读

Abstract The paper uses structured machine learning regressions for nowcasting with panel data consisting of series sampled at different frequencies. Motivated by the problem of predicting corporate earnings for a large cross‐section of firms with macroeconomic, financial, and news time series sampled at different frequencies, we focus on the sparse‐group LASSO regularization which can take advantage of the mixed‐frequency time series panel data structures. Our empirical…

存在样本流失时的配对与分层实验分析再审视AI 解读

Abstract In this paper, we revisit some common recommendations regarding the analysis of matched‐pair and stratified experimental designs in the presence of attrition. Our main objective is to clarify a number of well‐known claims about the practice of dropping pairs with an attrited unit when analyzing matched‐pair designs. Contradictory advice appears in the literature about whether or not dropping pairs is beneficial or harmful, and stratifying into larger groups has been…

异质系数线性面板模型中的样本选择AI 解读

Abstract We propose a parametric estimation procedure for linear panel data models with sample selection and heterogeneous coefficients that are present in both outcome model and selection model. Our two‐step estimation procedure accounts for endogeneity from the selection process and endogeneity from correlation between the individual unobserved heterogeneity and the observed covariates using control function like methods. Conditional linear projections are used to…

有偏技术进步下替代弹性的识别：结构面板 GMM 估计AI 解读

Summary: This paper provides a structural panel GMM (P-GMM) estimator of the elasticity of substitution between capital and labour that does not depend on external instruments, and which can be applied in the presence of biased technical change. We identify the conditions under which P-GMM is a consistent estimator and compare it to a fixed effects estimator. Using a Monte Carlo study, we find that the P-GMM estimator is nearly unbiased provided the number of time periods…

用于评估自回归过程处理效应的动态合成控制法AI 解读

Abstract Motivated by evaluating the effects of air pollution alerts on air quality, we propose the dynamic synthetic control method for micro-level data with time-varying confounders and spatial dependence under an auto-regressive model setting. We employ the empirical likelihood to define the synthetic control weights, which ensures a unique solution and permits theoretical analysis. The dynamic matching increases the feasibility of matching and enables us to assess the…

Davison与Rodionov对《通过下注估计有界随机变量均值》的讨论AI 解读

We congratulate the authors on a wide-ranging contribution to a statistical hardy perennial. The restriction that the support be known and bounded appears highly restrictive, yet Proposition 3 suggests much wider potential for applications, one of which we briefly explore below. The Pickands–Balkema–de Haan theorem (Balkema & de Haan, 1974; Pickands, 1975) establishes that the distribution of a random variable X, conditioned on its exceeding a high threshold u can in rather…

多变量函数型与纵向数据的动态建模AI 解读

Dynamic interactions among several stochastic processes are common in many scientific fields. It is crucial to model these interactions to understand the dynamic relationship of the corresponding multivariate processes with their derivatives and to improve predictions. In reality, full observations of the multivariate processes are not feasible as measurements can only be taken at discrete locations or time points, and often only sparingly and intermittently in longitudinal…

具有共同结构的面板多折点分位数回归模型AI 解读

Stimulated by the analysis of a data set on financial portfolio returns, we propose a multi-kink quantile regression (MKQR) model with latent homogeneous structure for panel data analysis. The proposed model accounts for both homogeneity and heterogeneity among individuals and parameters in panel data analysis. From statistical modeling point of view, it well balances the risk of misspecification and the model parsimony. From practical point of view, it is able to reveal not…

随机前沿分析中无效率分布设定的检验AI 解读

Stochastic frontier analysis is regularly used in empirical studies to evaluate the productivity and efficiency of companies. A typical stochastic frontier model involves a parametric frontier subject to a composite error term consisting of an inefficiency and a random error. We develop new tests for specification of distribution of the inefficiency. We focus on simultaneous relaxation of two common assumptions: (1) parametric frontier which may lead to false conclusions…

异常值引起的回归系数扭曲检验及气候变化应用AI 解读

Outlying observations can bias regression estimates, requiring the use of outlier-robust estimators. Comparing robust estimates to those obtained using ordinary least squares (OLS) is a common robustness check, however, such comparisons have been mostly informal due to the lack of available tests. Here we introduce a formal test for coefficient distortion due to outliers in regression models. Our proposed test is based on the difference between OLS and robust estimates…

基于含噪观测的分布推断AI 解读

We consider a situation where the distribution of a random variable is being estimated by the empirical distribution of noisy measurements of that variable. This is common practice in, for example, teacher value-added models and other fixed-effect models for panel data. We use an asymptotic embedding where the noise shrinks with the sample size to calculate the leading bias in the empirical distribution arising from the presence of noise. The leading bias in the empirical…

纠正疾病患病率估计中的重复检测安排偏差AI 解读

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many institutions such as universities and workplaces implemented testing regimens with every member of some population tested longitudinally, and those testing positive isolated for some time. Although the primary purpose of such regimens was to suppress disease spread by identifying and isolating infectious individuals, testing results were often also used to obtain prevalence and incidence estimates. Such estimates are helpful in risk…

含噪高维影像的多任务学习AI 解读

Recent medical imaging studies have given rise to distinct but inter-related datasets corresponding to multiple experimental tasks or longitudinal visits. Standard scalar-on-image regression models that fit each dataset separately are not equipped to leverage information across inter-related images, and existing multi-task learning approaches are compromised by the inability to account for the noise that is often observed in images. We propose a novel joint scalar-on-image…

贝叶斯非参数面板马尔可夫转换 GARCH 模型AI 解读

This article proposes Bayesian nonparametric inference for panel Markov-switching GARCH models. The model incorporates series-specific hidden Markov chain processes that drive the GARCH parameters. To cope with the high-dimensionality of the parameter space, the article assumes soft parameter pooling through a hierarchical prior distribution and introduces cross sectional clustering through a Bayesian nonparametric prior distribution. An MCMC posterior approximation…

以平稳与非平稳混合因子预测非平稳时间序列AI 解读

We develop a method for constructing prediction intervals for a nonstationary variable, such as GDP. The method uses a Factor Augmented Regression (FAR) model. The predictors in the model include a small number of factors generated to extract most of the information in a set of panel data on a large number of macroeconomic variables that are considered to be potential predictors. The novelty of this article is that it provides a method and justification for a mixture of…

高维面板数据模型的同质性与稀疏性分析AI 解读

In this article, we are interested in detecting latent group structures and significant covariates in a high-dimensional panel data model with both individual and time fixed effects. The slope coefficients of the model are assumed to be subject dependent, and there exist group structures where the slope coefficients are homogeneous within groups and heterogeneous between groups. We develop a penalized estimator for recovering the group structures and the sparsity patterns…

总产出生产函数中异质性弹性的识别AI 解读

This paper presents the identification of heterogeneous elasticities in gross-output production functions with non-separable unobserved productivity. We propose that the ex-ante flexible input cost shares identify the heterogeneous output elasticities with respect to flexible inputs for each firm. Applying the proposed method to a panel of firms in the food production industry in Chile, we find that the extent of heterogeneity in the output elasticities with respect to…

高维空间动态面板模型的估计与变量选择AI 解读

Spatiotemporal modeling of networks is of great practical importance, with modern applications in epidemiology and social network analysis. Despite rapid methodological advances, how to effectively and efficiently estimate the parameters of spatial dynamic panel models remains a challenging problem. To tackle this problem, we construct consistent complex least-squares estimators by the eigendecomposition of a spatial weight matrix method originally proposed for undirected…

年轻女性的心理健康与人工流产：时变未观测异质性、健康行为和风险决策AI 解读

In this paper, we provide causal evidence on abortions and risky health behaviors as determinants of mental health development among young women. Using administrative in- and outpatient records from Sweden, we apply a novel grouped fixed-effects estimator proposed by Bonhomme and Manresa (2015) to allow for time-varying unobserved heterogeneity. We show that the positive association obtained from standard estimators shrinks to zero once we control for grouped unobserved…

同时不完备与不相容的动态有限因变量模型：融资约束与企业创新AI 解读

We develop novel methods for establishing coherency and completeness conditions in Static and Dynamic Limited Dependent Variables (LDV) Models. We characterize the two distinct problems as “empty-region” incoherency and “overlap-region” incoherency or incompleteness and show that the two properties can co-exist. We focus on the class of models that can be Simultaneously Incomplete and Incoherent (SII). We propose estimation strategies based on Conditional Maximum Likelihood…

面板实验中的群体干扰AI 解读

The phenomenon of population interference, where a treatment assigned to one experimental unit affects another experimental unit’s outcome, has received considerable attention in standard randomized experiments. The complications produced by population interference in this setting are now readily recognized, and partial remedies are well known. Less understood is the impact of population interference in panel experiments where treatment is sequentially randomized in the…

高维随机向量相互独立性的秩最大值—求和检验AI 解读

We consider the problem of testing mutual independence of high-dimensional random vectors, and propose a series of high-dimensional rank-based max-sum tests, which are suitable for high-dimensional data and can be robust to distribution types of the variables, form of the dependence between variables and the sparsity of correlation coefficients. Further, we demonstrate the application of some representative members of the proposed tests on testing cross-sectional…
