Eigenvalue-Based Randomness Test for Residual Diagnostics in Panel Data Models
面板模型残差诊断的特征值随机性检验
This paper introduces the Eigenvalue-Based Randomness (EBR) test - a novel approach rooted in the Tracy-Widom law from random matrix theory - and applies it to the context of residual analysis in panel data models. Unlike traditional methods, which target specific issues like cross-sectional dependence or autocorrelation, the EBR test simultaneously examines multiple assumptions by analyzing the largest eigenvalue of a symmetrized residual matrix. Monte Carlo simulations…
