Robust Inference Methods for Latent Group Panel Models under Possible Group Non-Separation
潜在分组可能无法分离时面板模型的稳健推断
We develop robust inference methods for general linear hypotheses in linear panel data models with latent group structure in the coefficients. We employ a selective conditional inference approach based on the conditional distribution of coefficient estimates given the group structure estimated from the data. The resulting inference procedures remain valid even when group separation fails (i.e., when the distributional properties of the group-specific coefficients are not…
