大 N、小 T 面板数据中的空间相互依赖识别AI 解读

This paper develops a simple two-stage variational Bayesian algorithm to estimate panel spatial autoregressive models, where N, the number of cross-sectional units, is much larger than T, the number of time periods without restricting the spatial effects using a predetermined weighting matrix. We use Dirichlet-Laplace priors for variable selection and parameter shrinkage. Without imposing any a priori structures on the spatial linkages between variables, we let the data…

无预设空间权重限制的面板空间自回归模型快速两阶段变分贝叶斯估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a fast two-stage variational Bayesian (VB) algorithm to estimate unrestricted panel spatial autoregressive models. Using Dirichlet-Laplace priors, we are able to uncover the spatial relationships between cross-sectional units without imposing any a priori restrictions. Monte Carlo experiments show that our approach works well for both long and short panels. We are also the first in the literature to develop VB methods to estimate large covariance matrices…
