美国制造业部门的多层面板平滑转换自回归模型AI 解读

Abstract We introduce a multi‐level smooth transition model for a panel of time series, which can be used to examine the presence of common nonlinear business cycle features across many variables. The model is positioned in between a fully pooled model, which imposes such common features, and a fully heterogeneous model, which allows for unrestricted nonlinearity. We introduce a second‐stage model linking the parameters that determine the timing of the switches between…

倾听世界的语言：美国的双语能力与收入AI 解读

Is there a shortage of critical foreign language skills in the United States? Recent concerns about national security and economic globalization suggest increased demand and wage premia for foreign language speakers. The use of English as the international language, however, suggests a decrease in demand for foreign language skills in the United States. To address this question, we study a representative sample of U.S. college graduates. Ordinary least squares regressions…

面板数据的工具变量估计AI 解读

The system two stage least squares estimator for the linear panel data model is shown to have different characterizations depending on the choice of instrument matrix. The more general estimator, where, in effect, separate reduced form linear projections are estimated for each time period, also has the advantage of being applicable when the number of instruments changes across time periods. The issue of efficient estimation is also treated.

含单位根与协整的短面板向量自回归：估计与推断AI 解读

This paper considers estimation and inference in panel vector autoregressions where (i) the individual effects are either random or fixed, (ii) the time-series properties of the model variables are unknown a priori and may feature unit roots and cointegrating relations, and (iii) the time dimension of the panel is short and its cross-sectional dimension is large. Generalized method of moments (GMM) and quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimators are obtained and compared in…

允许结构突变的面板平稳性检验：人均GDP应用AI 解读

This paper proposes a test statistic for the null hypothesis of panel stationarity that allows for the presence of multiple structural breaks. Two different specifications are considered depending on the structural breaks affecting the individual effects and/or the time trend. The model is flexible enough to allow the number of breaks and their position to differ across individuals. The test is shown to have a standard normal limit distribution with a good finite sample…

含内生回归变量的非可分模型：横截面与面板数据估计AI 解读

We propose two new methods for estimating models with nonseparable errors and endogenous regressors. The first method estimates a local average response. One estimates the response of the conditional mean of the dependent variable to a change in the explanatory variable while conditioning on an external variable and then undoes the conditioning. The second method estimates the nonseparable function and the joint distribution of the observable and unobservable explanatory…

动态似不相关协整回归AI 解读

We propose the parametric Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Regression (DSUR) estimator for simultaneous estimation of multiple cointegrating regressions. DSUR is efficient when the equilibrium errors are correlated across equations and is applicable for panel cointegration estimation in environments where the cross section is small relative to the available time series. We study the asymptotic and small sample properties of the DSUR estimator for both heterogeneous and…

土耳其银行业的低效率与异质性：1990—2000年AI 解读

Abstract Recent studies have stressed the importance of privatization and openness to foreign competition for bank efficiency and economic growth. We study bank efficiency in Turkey, an emerging economy with great heterogeneity in bank types and ownership structures. Earlier studies of Turkish banking had three limitations: (i) excessive reliance on cost‐function frontier analyses, wherein volume of loans is a measure of banking output; (ii) pooling all banks or imposing ad…

非参数混合效应模型中的最优平滑AI 解读

Mixed-effect models are widely used for the analysis of correlated data such as longitudinal data and repeated measures. In this article, we study an approach to the nonparametric estimation of mixed-effect models. We consider models with parametric random effects and flexible fixed effects, and employ the penalized least squares method to estimate the models. The issue to be addressed is the selection of smoothing parameters through the generalized cross-validation method,…

个体效应随时间参数化变化的面板数据模型估计AI 解读

This paper is an extension of Ahn, Lee and Schmidt (2001) to allow a parametric function for time-varying coefficients on the individual effects. It is shown that the main results of Ahn, Lee and Schmidt (2001) hold for our model too. Least squares is consistent, given white noise errors, but less efficient than a GMM estimator. An application of the GMM estimators to the measurement of cost efficiency of Spanish banks is also included. The empirical study shows the…

稀疏纵向数据的函数型数据分析AI 解读

We propose a nonparametric method to perform functional principal components analysis for the case of sparse longitudinal data. The method aims at irregularly spaced longitudinal data, where the number of repeated measurements available per subject is small. In contrast, classical functional data analysis requires a large number of regularly spaced measurements per subject. We assume that the repeated measurements are located randomly with a random number of repetitions for…

相关随机系数与处理效应面板模型的固定效应及相关估计量AI 解读

I derive conditions under which a class of fixed-effects estimators consistently estimates the population-averaged slope coefficients in panel data models with individual-specific slopes, where the slopes are allowed to be correlated with the covariates. In addition to including the usual fixed-effects estimator, the results apply to estimators that eliminate individual-specific trends. I apply the results, and propose alternative estimators, to estimation of average…

我没说，也不会说：SIPP中的动态回答误差AI 解读

Abstract Using state administrative records matched to the 1984 Survey of Income and Program Participation , we examine intertemporal relationships in response errors. False negative errors in reporting food stamps are highly correlated across interviews for the same household. Hypotheses that the error process can be explained by learning behaviour are not supported. Bivariate probit of response error in two periods reveals that responses to covariates are stable over time…

纵向数据广义估计方程的渐近结果AI 解读

We consider the marginal models of Liang and Zeger [Biometrika 73 (1986) 13–22] for the analysis of longitudinal data and we develop a theory of statistical inference for such models. We prove the existence, weak consistency and asymptotic normality of a sequence of estimators defined as roots of pseudo-likelihood equations.

动态面板数据模型中的偏误修正估计AI 解读

This study develops a new bias-corrected estimator for the fixed-effects dynamic panel data model and derives its limiting distribution for finite number of time periods, T, and large number of cross-section units, N. The bias-corrected estimator is derived as a bias correction of the least squares dummy variable (within) estimator. It does not share some of the drawbacks of recently developed instrumental variables and generalized method-of-moments estimators and is…

食品消费截面与时间序列弹性的面板及伪面板估计AI 解读

This article addresses the problem of the bias of income and expenditure elasticities estimated on pseudopanel data caused by measurement error and unobserved heterogeneity. We gauge these biases empirically by comparing cross-sectional, pseudo-panel, and true panel data from both Polish and U.S. expenditure surveys. Our results suggest that unobserved heterogeneity imparts a downward bias to cross-section estimates of income elasticities of at-home food expenditures and an…

含固定效应的非线性面板模型中的时不变解释变量AI 解读

This paper generalizes the intuition of Hausman and Taylor (1981, Econometrica 49, 1377–1398) and develops a method of dealing with a time-invariant regressor in nonlinear panel models with fixed effects. We illustrate the usefulness of our result by discussing the implication for some nonlinear models of social interactions.We are grateful to Dan Ackerberg and Jerry Hausman for helpful comments. The first author gratefully acknowledges financial support from NSF grant…

时间维度有限时异质面板数据的平稳性检验AI 解读

and hence makes the test valid for any (T, N) combination. The asymptotic distributions of the tests are derived under the null and are shown to be normally distributed. Their moments for T fixed are derived analytically using Ghazal's (1994, Statistics and Probability letters 20, 313--319) 1 lemma 1. Finite sample size and power are considered in a Monte Carlo experiment. The proposed tests have empirical sizes that are very close to the nominal 5% level. The Monte Carlo…

多变量生存过程的函数型关联模型AI 解读

We consider multivariate temporal processes that are continuously observed within overlapping time windows. The intended application is in censored multistate and multivariate survival settings, where point processes are continuously observed. These data differ from other functional data, like longitudinal data, which are discretely observed at irregular times. Existing functional approaches to survival processes use intensity models, which require smoothing and depend…

纵向与聚类数据的有效半参数边际估计AI 解读

We consider marginal generalized semiparametric partially linear models for clustered data. Lin and Carroll derived the semiparametric efficient score function for this problem in the multivariate Gaussian case, but they were unable to construct a semiparametric efficient estimator that actually achieved the semiparametric information bound. Here we propose such an estimator and generalize the work to marginal generalized partially linear models. We investigate asymptotic…
