容纳不可观测异质性的平滑转换有限混合模型AI 解读

While the smooth transition (ST) model has become popular in business and economics, the treatment of unobserved heterogeneity within these models has received limited attention. We propose a ST finite mixture (STFM) model which simultaneously estimates the presence of time-varying effects and unobserved heterogeneity in a panel data context. Our objective is to accurately recover the heterogeneous effects of our independent variables of interest while simultaneously…

两阶段抽样设计的统计推断AI 解读

Summary Two-stage sampling designs are commonly used for household and health surveys. To produce reliable estimators with associated confidence intervals, some basic statistical properties like consistency and asymptotic normality of the Horvitz–Thompson estimator are desirable, along with the consistency of associated variance estimators. These properties have been mainly studied for single-stage sampling designs. In this work, we prove the consistency of the…

共同冲击面板模型中异质系数的有效估计AI 解读

This paper investigates the estimation and inference issues of heterogeneous coefficients in panel data models with common shocks. We propose a novel two-step method to estimate the heterogeneous coefficients. We establish the asymptotic theory of our estimators, including consistency, asymptotic representation, and limiting distribution. Our two-step method can effectively address the limitations of the existing methods, such as the common correlated effects method proposed…

不完整数据下的有效GMM估计AI 解读

In the standard missing data model, data are either complete or completely missing. However, applied researchers face situations with an arbitrary number of strata of incompleteness. Examples include unbalanced panels and instrumental variables settings where some observations are missing some instruments. I propose a model for settings where observations may be incomplete, with an arbitrary number of strata of incompleteness. I derive a set of moment conditions that…

识别协整面板中的潜在分组模式AI 解读

We consider a panel cointegration model with latent group structures that allows for heterogeneous long-run relationships across groups. We extend Su, Shi, and Phillips (2016, Econometrica 84(6), 2215–2264) classifier-Lasso (C-Lasso) method to the nonstationary panels and allow for the presence of endogeneity in both the stationary and nonstationary regressors in the model. In addition, we allow the dimension of the stationary regressors to diverge with the sample size. We…

广义动态因子模型与波动率：一致性、收敛速度及预测区间AI 解读

Volatilities, in high-dimensional panels of economic time series with a dynamic factor structure on the levels or returns, typically also admit a dynamic factor decomposition. We consider a two-stage dynamic factor model method recovering the common and idiosyncratic components of both levels and log-volatilities. Specifically, in a first estimation step, we extract the common and idiosyncratic shocks for the levels, from which a log-volatility proxy is computed. In a second…

匹配调查与行政数据中的收入动态和测量误差AI 解读

This article analyzes earnings dynamics and measurement error using a matched longitudinal sample of individuals’ survey and administrative earnings. In line with previous literature, the reported differences are characterized by both persistent and transitory factors. Estimating a model consistent with past results, survey errors are mean-reverting when administrative reports are assumed correct, but not when this assumption is relaxed. Although most reported earnings…

用于分析金融泡沫与崩盘的双问题调查指标AI 解读

This article proposes a new double-question survey whereby an individual is presented with two sets of questions; one on beliefs about current asset values and another on price expectations. A theoretical asset pricing model with heterogeneous agents is advanced and the existence of a negative relationship between price expectations and asset valuations is established, and is then tested using survey results on equity, gold, and house prices. Leading indicators of bubbles…

群组数过度设定的面板模型识别与估计AI 解读

We propose a simple and fast approach to identify and estimate the unknown group structure in panel models by adapting the M-estimation method. We consider both linear and nonlinear panel models where the regression coefficients are heterogeneous across groups but homogeneous within a group and the group membership is unknown to researchers. The main result of the paper is that under certain assumptions, our approach is able to provide uniformly consistent estimation as long…

利用短面板识别动态离散选择模型AI 解读

This paper analyzes the identification of flow payoffs and counterfactual choice probabilities (CCPs) in single-agent dynamic discrete choice models. We develop new results on non-stationary models where the time horizon for the agent extends beyond the length of the data (short panels). We show that counterfactual CCPs in short panels are identified when induced by temporary policy changes affecting payoffs, even though the utility flows are not. Counterfactual CCPs induced…

连边形成指数模型的非参数识别AI 解读

We consider a dyadic link formation model with a homophily effect index and a degree heterogeneity index. We provide nonparametric identification results for the potentially nonparametric homophily effect function, the realizations of unobserved individual fixed effects and the unknown distribution of idiosyncratic shocks, up to normalization. We propose a novel form of scale normalization on an arbitrary interquantile range, which is not only theoretically general but also…

具有个体效应的动态面板数据估计AI 解读

The article discusses statistical inference in parametric models for panel data. The models feature dynamics of a general nature, individual effects, and possible explanatory variables. The focus is on large-cross-section inference on Gaussian pseudo maximum likelihood estimates with temporal dimension kept fixed, partially complementing and extending recent work of the authors. We focus on a particular kind of initial condition but go on to discuss implications of…

异质动态面板分位数回归模型的共同相关效应估计AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes a quantile regression estimator for a heterogeneous panel model with lagged dependent variables and interactive effects. The paper adopts the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) approach proposed in the literature and demonstrates that the extension to the estimation of dynamic quantile regression models is feasible under similar conditions to the ones used in the literature. The new quantile regression estimator is shown to be consistent and its…

处理效应异质性依赖未观测固定效应时的面板平均处理效应估计AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes a new panel data approach to identify and estimate the time‐varying average treatment effect (ATE). The approach allows for treatment effect heterogeneity that depends on unobserved fixed effects. In the presence of this type of heterogeneity, existing panel data approaches identify the ATE for limited subpopulations only. In contrast, the proposed approach identifies and estimates the ATE for the entire population. The approach relies on the…

含滞后因变量的离散选择模型的非参数识别AI 解读

Variation in covariates can be used to nonparametrically identify a discrete choice model with a lagged dependent variable and discrete unobserved heterogeneity (Kasahara and Shimotsu, 2009; Browning and Carro, 2014). In some cases the number of support points of the unobserved heterogeneity distribution is restricted only by the number of points of support in the distribution of the covariates. This paper provides conditions under which these models can be identified with…

无原地不变个体的时变非可分面板模型识别与估计AI 解读

This paper explores the identification and estimation of nonseparable panel data models. We show that the structural function is nonparametrically identified when it is strictly increasing in a scalar unobservable variable, the conditional distributions of unobservable variables do not change over time, and the joint support of explanatory variables satisfies some weak assumptions. To identify the target parameters, existing studies assume that the structural function does…

面板数据模型中个体效应与时间效应的判定AI 解读

In this paper we propose a jackknife method to determine individual and time effects in linear panel data models. We first show that when both the serial and cross-sectional correlations among the idiosyncratic error terms are weak, our jackknife method can pick up the correct model with probability approaching one (w.p.a.1). In the presence of moderate or strong degree of serial correlation, we modify our jackknife criterion function and show that the modified jackknife…

稀疏匹配数据下双向固定效应线性模型的估计与推断AI 解读

Models with multiway fixed effects are frequently used to address selection on unobservables. The data used for estimating these models often contain few observations per value of either indexing variable (sparsely matched data). I show that this sparsity has important implications for inference and propose an asymptotically valid inference method based on subsetting. Sparsity also has important implications for point estimation when covariates or instrumental variables are…

动态随机前沿模型的似然估计方法AI 解读

Summary This paper considers a panel stochastic production frontier model that allows the dynamic adjustment of technical inefficiency. In particular, we assume that inefficiency follows an AR(1) process. That is, the current year's inefficiency for a firm depends on its past inefficiency plus a transient inefficiency incurred in the current year. Interfirm variations in the transient inefficiency are explained by some firm‐specific covariates. We consider four…

具有固定效应的区间删失回归AI 解读

Summary This paper considers identification and estimation of a fixed‐effects model with an interval‐censored dependent variable. In each time period, the researcher observes the interval (with known endpoints) in which the dependent variable lies but not the value of the dependent variable itself. Two versions of the model are considered: a parametric model with logistic errors and a semiparametric model with errors having an unspecified distribution. In both cases, the…

低效率区域模式建模：贝叶斯地理加性面板随机前沿方法AI 解读

We propose a flexible Bayesian approach to inefficiency modelling that accounts for regional patterns of local performance. The model allows for a separated treatment of individual heterogeneity and determinants of inefficiency. Regional dependence structures and location-specific unobserved spatial heterogeneity are modelled via geoadditive predictors in the inefficiency term of the stochastic frontier model. Inference becomes feasible through Markov chain Monte Carlo…

具有潜在分组结构的面板门槛回归AI 解读

In this paper, we consider the least squares estimation of a panel structure threshold regression (PSTR) model where both the slope coefficients and threshold parameters may exhibit latent group structures. We study the asymptotic properties of the estimators of the latent group structure and the slope and threshold coefficients. We show that we can estimate the latent group structure correctly with probability approaching 1 and the estimators of the slope and threshold…

对冲基金绩效的非参数评估AI 解读

We propose a new class of performance measures for Hedge Fund (HF) returns based on a family of empirically identifiable stochastic discount factors (SDFs). The SDF-based measures incorporate no-arbitrage pricing restrictions and naturally embed information about higher-order mixed moments between HF and benchmark factors returns. We provide a full asymptotic theory for our SDF estimators to test for the statistical significance of each fund’s performance and for the…

金融市场的分位数共同变动：含不可观测异质性的面板分位数模型AI 解读

This article introduces a new procedure for analyzing the quantile co-movement of a large number of financial time series based on a large-scale panel data model with factor structures. The proposed method attempts to capture the unobservable heterogeneity of each of the financial time series based on sensitivity to explanatory variables and to the unobservable factor structure. In our model, the dimension of the common factor structure varies across quantiles, and the…
