允许响应与协变量缺失的扩展状态空间模型AI 解读

This article proposes an extended state-space model for accommodating multivariate panel data. The novel aspect of this contribution is an adjustment to the classical model for multiple subjects that allows missingness in the covariates in addition to the responses. Missing covariate data are handled by a second state-space model nested inside the first to represent unobserved exogenous information. Relevant Kalman filter equations are derived, and explicit expressions are…

整群随机试验数据的嵌套Dirichlet过程分析：老年照护评估应用AI 解读

In cluster randomized trials, patients seen by the same physician are randomized to the same treatment arm as a group. Besides the natural clustering of patients due to cluster/group randomization, interactions between an individual patient and the attending physician within the group could just as well influence patient care outcomes. Despite the intuitive relevance of these interactions to treatment assessment, few studies have thus far examined their influences. Whether…

结构变化实时监测的多变量方法AI 解读

SUMMARY Detection of structural change is a critical empirical activity, but continuous ‘monitoring’ for changes in real time raises well‐known econometric issues that have been explored in a single series context. If multiple series co‐break then it is possible that simultaneous examination of a set of series helps identify changes with higher probability or more rapidly than when series are examined on a case‐by‐case basis. Some asymptotic theory is developed for maximum…

线性及面板回归中空间误差相关的标准化LM检验AI 解读

The robustness of the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) tests for spatial error dependence of Burridge (1980) and Born and Breitung (2011) for the linear regression model, and Anselin (1988) and Debarsy and Etur (2010) for the panel regression model with random or fixed effects are examined. While all tests are asymptotically robust against distributional mis‐specification, their finite sample behaviour may be sensitive to the spatial layout. To overcome this shortcoming,…

随机效应与固定效应面板模型中的神谕有效变量选择AI 解读

This paper generalizes the results for the Bridge estimator of Huang, Horowitz, and Ma (2008) to linear random and fixed effects panel data models which are allowed to grow in both dimensions. In particular, we show that the Bridge estimator isoracle efficient. It can correctly distinguish between relevant and irrelevant variables and the asymptotic distribution of the estimators of the coefficients of the relevant variables is the same as if only these had been included in…

纵向数据非参数回归函数的新局部估计方法AI 解读

Summary The paper develops a new estimation of non-parametric regression functions for clustered or longitudinal data. We propose to use Cholesky decomposition and profile least squares techniques to estimate the correlation structure and regression function simultaneously. We further prove that the estimator proposed is as asymptotically efficient as if the covariance matrix were known. A Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to examine the finite sample performance of…

面板因子序列的自助法AI 解读

This paper studies the asymptotic validity of sieve bootstrap for nonstationary panel factor series. Two main results are shown. Firstly, a bootstrap Invariance Principle is derived pointwise in i, obtaining an upper bound for the order of truncation of the AR polynomial that depends on n and T. Consistent estimation of the long run variances is also studied for (n,T)→∞. Secondly, joint bootstrap asymptotics is also studied, investigating the conditions under which the…

存在样本选择的动态面板数据模型估计AI 解读

SUMMARY We propose a new method for estimating dynamic panel data models with selection. The method uses backward substitution for the lagged dependent variable, which leads to an estimating equation that requires correcting for contemporaneous selection only. The estimator is valid under relatively weak assumptions about errors and permits avoiding the weak instruments problem associated with differencing. We also propose a simple test for selection bias that is based on…

生产函数与产品、劳动市场不完全性的面板估计AI 解读

SUMMARY Consistent with two models of imperfect competition in the labor market—the efficient bargaining model and the monopsony model—we provide two extensions of a microeconomic version of Hall's framework for estimating price‐cost margins. We show that both product and labor market imperfections generate a wedge between factor elasticities in the production function and their corresponding shares in revenue, which can be characterized by a ‘joint market imperfections…

识别技术溢出与产品市场竞争AI 解读

The impact of R&D on growth through spillovers has been a major topic of economic research over the last thirty years. A central problem in the literature is that firm performance is affected by two countervailing “spillovers” : a positive effect from technology (knowledge) spillovers and a negative business stealing effects from product market rivals. We develop a general framework incorporating these two types of spillovers and implement this model using measures of a…

非可分面板模型中的平均效应与分位数效应AI 解读

Nonseparable panel models are important in a variety of economic settings, including discrete choice. This paper gives identification and estimation results for nonseparable models under time-homogeneity conditions that are like “time is randomly assigned” or “time is an instrument.” Partial-identification results for average and quantile effects are given for discrete regressors, under static or dynamic conditions, in fully nonparametric and in semiparametric models, with…

固定效应动态面板模型：一种因子分析方法AI 解读

We consider the estimation of dynamic panel data models in the presence of incidental parameters in both dimensions: individual fixed-effects and time fixed-effects, as well as incidental parameters in the variances. We adopt the factor analytical approach by estimating the sample variance of individual effects rather than the effects themselves. In the presence of cross-sectional heteroskedasticity, the factor method estimates the average of the cross-sectional variances…

留受试者交叉验证的渐近最优性与高效计算AI 解读

Although the leave-subject-out cross-validation (CV) has been widely used in practice for tuning parameter selection for various nonparametric and semiparametric models of longitudinal data, its theoretical property is unknown and solving the associated optimization problem is computationally expensive, especially when there are multiple tuning parameters. In this paper, by focusing on the penalized spline method, we show that the leave-subject-out CV is optimal in the sense…

重复函数型观测的建模AI 解读

We introduce a new methodological framework for repeatedly observed and thus dependent functional data, aiming at situations where curves are recorded repeatedly for each subject in a sample. Our methodology covers the case where the recordings of the curves are scheduled on a regular and dense grid and also situations more typical for longitudinal studies, where the timing of recordings is often sparse and random. The proposed models lead to an interpretable and…

将犯罪历程建模为对单峰总体年龄—犯罪曲线的偏离：大麻使用案例AI 解读

A major aim of longitudinal analyses of life course data is to describe the within- and between-individual variability in a behavioral outcome, such as crime. Statistical analyses of such data typically draw on mixture and mixed-effects growth models. In this work, we present a functional analytic point of view and develop an alternative method that models individual crime trajectories as departures from a population age-crime curve. Drawing on empirical and theoretical…

纵向观测的半参数变点回归模型AI 解读

Many longitudinal studies involve relating an outcome process to a set of possibly time-varying covariates, giving rise to the usual regression models for longitudinal data. When the purpose of the study is to investigate the covariate effects when experimental environment undergoes abrupt changes or to locate the periods with different levels of covariate effects, a simple and easy-to-interpret approach is to introduce change-points in regression coefficients. In this…

具有截面相关性的半参数趋势面板模型AI 解读

A semiparametric fixed effects model is introduced to describe the nonlinear trending phenomenon in panel data analysis and it allows for the cross-sectional dependence in both the regressors and the residuals. A pooled semiparametric profile likelihood dummy variable approach based on the first-stage local linear fitting is developed to estimate both the parameter vector and the nonlinear time trend function. As both the time series length T and the cross-sectional size N…

劳动力市场进入与收入动态：专家混合马尔可夫链聚类的贝叶斯推断AI 解读

SUMMARY This paper analyzes patterns in the earnings development of young labor market entrants over their life cycle. We identify four distinctly different types of transition patterns between discrete earnings states in a large administrative dataset. Further, we investigate the effects of labor market conditions at the time of entry on the probability of belonging to each transition type. To estimate our statistical model we use a model‐based clustering approach. The…

信号博弈实验中的同伴学习AI 解读

SUMMARY We investigate peer group effects in laboratory experiments based on Milgrom and Roberts' (1982, Econometrica 50 : 443–459) entry limit pricing game. We generalize Heckman's (1981, in Structural Analysis of Discrete Data with Econometric Applications . MIT Press: Cambridge, MA) dynamic discrete‐choice panel data models by introducing time‐lagged social interactions, using the unbiased GHK simulator to implement the computationally cumbersome maximum likelihood…

动态面板数据模型不同估计方法的有限样本比较AI 解读

SUMMARY The Wooldridge method is based on a simple and novel strategy to deal with the initial values problem in nonlinear dynamic random‐effects panel data models. The characteristic of the method makes it very attractive in empirical applications. However, its finite sample performance and robustness are not fully known as of yet. In this paper we investigate the performance and robustness of this method in comparison with an ideal case in which the initial values are…

利用面板数据估计溢出效应：课堂应用AI 解读

Obtaining consistent estimates of spillovers in an educational context is hampered by at least two issues: selection into peer groups and peer effects emanating from unobservable characteristics. We develop an algorithm for estimating spillovers using panel data that addresses both of these problems. The key innovation is to allow the spillover to operate through the fixed effects of a student's peers. The only data requirements are multiple outcomes per student and…

含未知函数的序贯矩限制模型的半参数效率界AI 解读

This paper computes the semiparametric efficiency bound for finite dimensional parameters identified by models of sequential moment restrictions containing unknown functions. Our results extend those of Chamberlain (1992b) and Ai and Chen (2003) for semiparametric conditional moment restrictions with identical information sets to the case of nested information sets, and those of Chamberlain (1992a) and Brown and Newey (1998) for models of sequential moment restrictions…

存在缺失观测的函数型数据设定检验AI 解读

Economic data are frequently generated by stochastic processes that can be modeled as realizations of random functions (functional data). This paper adapts the specification test for functional data developed by Bugni, Hall, Horowitz, and Neumann (2009, Econometrics Journal 12, S1–S18) to the presence of missing observations. By using a worst case scenario approach, our method is able to extract the information available in the observed portion of the data while being…

非参数面板模型中截面不相关性的新诊断检验AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a new diagnostic test for residual cross-section uncorrelatedness (CU) in a nonparametric panel data model. The proposed nonparametric CU test is a nonparametric counterpart of an existing parametric cross-section dependence test proposed in Pesaran (2004, Cambridge Working paper in Economics 0435). Without assuming cross-section independence, we establish asymptotic distribution for the proposed test statistic for the case where both the…
