含不可观测异质性的时空模型估计与自助法AI 解读

Proposed herein is a novel spatiotemporal model to characterize the unobserved heterogeneity across individuals using quantile-function-based correlated random effects and heteroscedastic innovations in a general framework. This model can be used to explore the influence of space-specific factors on latent effects at different quantile levels by controlling for spatiotemporal effects. A two-stage estimation procedure is introduced in which (i) the method of moments is used…

利用全球、发达与新兴经济活动潜在因子识别油价冲击AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes an identification strategy for international oil price shocks while accounting for the heterogeneous sources of oil demand from global, developed, and emerging economies. Unlike existing works, we isolate global oil demand shocks, associated with a global real economic activity factor, from oil demand shocks originating specifically from developed and emerging economies, associated with real economic activity factors within these two groups of…

匹配与集聚：来自日本企业间贸易的理论与证据AI 解读

This paper shows that matching frictions and a thick market externality in firm‐to‐firm trade shape the agglomeration of economic activity. Using panel data of firm‐to‐firm trade in Japan, I demonstrate that firms gradually match with alternative suppliers following an unanticipated supplier bankruptcy, and that the rate of rematching increases in the geographic density of alternative suppliers. Motivated by these empirical findings, I develop a general equilibrium model of…

利用微观数据非参数识别差异化产品需求AI 解读

We examine identification of differentiated products demand when one has “micro data” linking the characteristics and choices of individual consumers. Our model nests standard specifications featuring rich observed and unobserved consumer heterogeneity as well as product/market‐level unobservables that introduce the problem of econometric endogeneity. Previous work establishes identification of such models using market‐level data and instruments for all prices and…

固定效应模型的自助法推断AI 解读

The maximum‐likelihood estimator of nonlinear panel data models with fixed effects is asymptotically biased under rectangular‐array asymptotics. The literature has devoted substantial effort to devising methods that correct for this bias as a means to salvage standard inferential procedures. The chief purpose of this paper is to show that the (recursive, parametric) bootstrap replicates the asymptotic distribution of the (uncorrected) maximum‐likelihood estimator and of the…

面板数据中对分配设计稳健的双向固定效应回归AI 解读

We propose a new estimator for average causal effects of a binary treatment with panel data in settings with general treatment patterns. Our approach augments the popular two‐way‐fixed‐effects specification with unit‐specific weights that arise from a model for the assignment mechanism. We show how to construct these weights in various settings, including the staggered adoption setting, where units opt into the treatment sequentially but permanently. The resulting estimator…

分层实验中的协变量调整AI 解读

This paper studies covariate adjusted estimation of the average treatment effect in stratified experiments. We work in a general framework that includes matched tuples designs, coarse stratification, and complete randomization as special cases. Regression adjustment with treatment‐covariate interactions is known to weakly improve efficiency for completely randomized designs. By contrast, we show that for stratified designs such regression estimators are generically…

横截面与面板数据中的高效偏差修正AI 解读

Bias correction can often improve the finite sample performance of estimators. We show that the choice of bias correction method has no effect on the higher‐order variance of semiparametrically efficient parametric estimators, so long as the estimate of the bias is asymptotically linear. It is also shown that bootstrap, jackknife, and analytical bias estimates are asymptotically linear for estimators with higher‐order expansions of a standard form. In particular, we find…

系统性风险暴露张成空间的变化AI 解读

We develop a test for deciding whether the linear spaces spanned by the factor exposures of a large cross‐section of assets toward latent systematic risk factors at two distinct points in time are the same. The test uses a panel of asset returns in local windows around the two time points. The asymptotic setup is of joint type: the number of assets and the number of return observations per asset increase asymptotically while the length of both time windows shrinks. We…

群组归属的置信集合AI 解读

Our confidence set quantifies the statistical uncertainty from data‐driven group assignments in grouped panel models. It covers the true group memberships jointly for all units with pre‐specified probability and is constructed by inverting many simultaneous unit‐specific one‐sided tests for group membership. We justify our approach under N , T → ∞ asymptotics using tools from high‐dimensional statistics, some of which we extend in this paper. We provide Monte Carlo evidence…

固定效应多项选择模型的矩不等式AI 解读

This paper proposes a new approach to identification of the semiparametric multinomial choice model with fixed effects. The framework employed is the semiparametric version of the traditional multinomial logit with the fixed‐effects model (Chamberlain (1980)). This semiparametric multinomial choice model places no restrictions on either the joint distribution of the random utility disturbances across choices or their within group (or across time) correlations. We show that a…

得分驱动资产定价：基于截面模型表现预测时变风险溢价AI 解读

This paper proposes a new parametric approach for estimating linear factor pricing models with dynamic risk premia. Time-varying risk prices and exposures follow an observation-driven updating scheme that reduces the one-step-ahead prediction error from a cross-sectional factor model at the current observation. This agnostic approach is particularly useful in situations where predictors are unknown or of uncertain quality. Updating schemes for elliptically distributed…

厚尾依赖数据的机器学习面板回归：理论与应用AI 解读

The paper introduces structured machine learning regressions for heavy-tailed dependent panel data potentially sampled at different frequencies. We focus on the sparse-group LASSO regularization. This type of regularization can take advantage of the mixed frequency time series panel data structures and improve the quality of the estimates. We obtain oracle inequalities for the pooled and fixed effects sparse-group LASSO panel data estimators recognizing that financial and…

多变量面板数据的动态聚类AI 解读

We propose a dynamic clustering model for uncovering latent time-varying group structures in multivariate panel data. The model is dynamic in three ways. First, the cluster location and scale matrices are time-varying to track gradual changes in cluster characteristics over time. Second, all units can transition between clusters based on a Hidden Markov model (HMM). Finally, the HMM’s transition matrix can depend on lagged time-varying cluster distances as well as economic…

对《流式纵向数据的统计推断》的讨论AI 解读

We congratulate the authors for their contributions to statistical analysis for streamed longitudinal data. Streamed data occur frequently in many modern biomedical areas such as mobile health, drawing increasing attention in recent years. Luo et al. (2023) developed a new statistical inference framework for streamed longitudinal data via the quadratic inference function approach. The proposed method avoids retrospective calculations using the individual-level data in the…

混合效应模型下应对选择偏差的软校准AI 解读

Abstract Calibration weighting has been widely used to correct selection biases in nonprobability sampling, missing data and causal inference. The main idea is to calibrate the biased sample to the benchmark by adjusting the subject weights. However, hard calibration can produce enormous weights when an exact calibration is enforced on a large set of extraneous covariates. This article proposes a soft calibration scheme, where the outcome and the selection indicator follow…

流式纵向数据的统计推断AI 解读

Summary Modern longitudinal data, for example from wearable devices, may consist of measurements of biological signals on a fixed set of participants at a diverging number of time-points. Traditional statistical methods are not equipped to handle the computational burden of repeatedly analysing the cumulatively growing dataset each time new data are collected. We propose a new estimation and inference framework for dynamic updating of point estimates and their standard…

动态二元响应模型的识别AI 解读

We consider identification of parameters in dynamic binary response models with panel data under minimal assumptions. This model is prominent in empirical economics as it has been used to infer state dependence in the presence of unobserved heterogeneity. The main results in our paper are characterizations of the identified set under weak assumptions. The results generalize the existing literature in several directions: (1) we do not require any restrictions on the support…

具有双向不可观测异质性的线性面板回归AI 解读

We study linear panel regression models in which the unobserved error term is an unknown smooth function of two-way unobserved fixed effects. In standard additive or interactive fixed effect models the individual specific and time specific effects are assumed to enter with a known functional form (additive or multiplicative). In this paper, we allow for this functional form to be more general and unknown. We discuss two different estimation approaches that allow consistent…

基于时序与信息集假设的结构模型识别不足AI 解读

We revisit identification based on timing and information set assumptions in structural models, which have been used in the context of production functions, demand equations, and hedonic pricing models (e.g. Olley and Pakes, 1996, Blundell and Bond, 2000). First, we demonstrate a general under-identification problem using these assumptions in a simple version of the Blundell–Bond dynamic panel model. In particular, the basic moment conditions can yield multiple discrete…

通过模糊聚类回归近似分组固定效应估计AI 解读

Summary We propose a new, computationally efficient way to approximate the “grouped fixed effects” (GFE) estimator of Bonhomme and Manresa (2015), which estimates grouped patterns of unobserved heterogeneity. To do so, we generalize the fuzzy C‐means objective to regression settings. As the clustering exponent approaches 1, the fuzzy clustering objective converges to the GFE objective, which we recast as a standard generalized method of moments problem. We replicate the…
