Bootstrap Inference in Nonlinear Panel Data Models with Interactive Fixed Effects
交互固定效应非线性面板模型的 Bootstrap 推断
The maximum likelihood estimator in nonlinear panel data models with interactive fixed effects is biased. Several bias correction methods, such as analytical and jackknife approaches, have been proposed to enable valid inference. This paper shows that the parametric bootstrap also enables valid inference in such models. In particular, we show that the parametric bootstrap replicates the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator. Therefore, it yields…
