Estimating unrestricted spatial interdependence in panel spatial autoregressive models with latent common factors
含潜在共同因子的面板空间自回归模型:无预设空间结构的相互依赖估计
We develop a new Bayesian approach to estimating panel spatial autoregressive models with a known number of latent common factors, where N, the number of cross-sectional units, is much larger than T, the number of time periods. Without imposing any a priori structures on the spatial linkages between variables, we let the data speak for themselves. Extensive Monte Carlo studies show that our method is super-fast and our estimated spatial weights matrices and common factors…
