Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation for a Genuinely Unbalanced Dynamic Network Panel Data Model
真正非平衡动态网络面板模型的准最大似然估计
This paper develops a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator for genuinely unbalanced dynamic network panel data models with individual fixed effects. We propose a model that accommodates contemporaneous and lagged network spillovers, temporal dependence, and a listing effect that activates upon a unit's first appearance in the panel. We establish the consistency of the QMLE as both $N$ and $T$ go to infinity, derive its asymptotic distribution, and identify an asymptotic bias…
