交互效应异质性空间动态面板模型的IV估计AI 解读

This paper develops a Mean Group Instrumental Variables (MGIV) approach for spatial dynamic panel data models with interactive effects, under large N and T asymptotics. Unlike existing approaches that typically impose slope-parameter homogeneity, MGIV accommodates cross-sectional heterogeneity in slope coefficients. The proposed estimator is linear, making it computationally efficient and robust. Furthermore, it enables asymptotically valid inferences without requiring bias…

共同冲击下固定 T 的动态空间面板模型AI 解读

We study a dynamic spatial panel model with observed regressors, interactive effects, and contemporaneous and lagged dependence in a large-$N$, fixed-$T$ framework. The spatial model constitutes an $N$-dimensional simultaneous-equations system. In this $N$-equation view, the interactive effects introduce $N$ unit-specific loading vectors. Estimating them individually when $T$ is fixed creates the type of incidental-parameters problem underlying Nickell bias. We use the $N$-eq…

具有交互固定效应的高维面板模型：超越线性情形AI 解读

Modern economic panel data sets are often high-dimensional: they contain information on a wide variety of control variables whose number may even exceed the sample size. Nevertheless, the literature on econometric methods for high-dimensional panels is quite limited. In this paper, we study high-dimensional panel models with interactive fixed effects where the regression function has an additive structure, i.e., each covariate enters the model via an unknown nonlinear…

高维交互固定效应下的双重机器学习AI 解读

Factor structures are central to empirical work in economics and finance, and are usually used to model time-varying unobserved heterogeneity through interactive fixed effects (IFE). Existing IFE estimators rest on low-dimensional and linear specifications in the covariates, assumptions which are increasingly restrictive in applications drawing on rich datasets with controls of unknown functional form. This paper develops a Double Machine Learning estimator for the…

非线性面板数据模型的低秩估计AI 解读

This paper investigates nonlinear panel models with interactive fixed effects and introduces a general framework for parameter estimation under potentially nonconvex objective functions. We propose a computationally feasible two-step estimation procedure. In the first step, nuclear-norm regularization (NNR) is used to obtain preliminary estimators of the coefficients of interest, factors, and factor loadings. The second step involves an iterative procedure for post-NNR…

含交互效应的动态面板模型的全局识别AI 解读

We investigate the problem of global identification in dynamic panel models with interactive effects, in the large-N, fixed-T setting. While local identification, typically established via the Jacobian matrix, is well understood, global identification has remained a more elusive and challenging issue. It is commonly believed to be unachievable in this context. However, we demonstrate that the model is, in fact, globally identified for almost all configurations of the…

含交互固定效应的固定 T 面板门槛回归AI 解读

This paper develops a new toolbox for estimation and inference in panel data threshold regression models with interactive fixed effects and a fixed number of time periods, T. The toolbox is designed to be simple, accurate and computationally efficient. It is based on a simple least squares style estimator of the model parameters, and includes a number of inferential procedures for testing hypotheses regarding not only the threshold but also other parameters. The new toolbox…

含交互固定效应的非线性面板模型的可计算估计AI 解读

Interactive fixed effects are routinely controlled for in linear panel models. While an analogous fixed effects (FE) estimator for nonlinear models has been available in the literature (Chen, Fernandez-Val and Weidner, 2021), it sees much more limited use in applied research because its implementation involves solving a high-dimensional non-convex problem. In this paper, we complement the theoretical analysis of Chen, Fernandez-Val and Weidner (2021) by providing a new…

具有非线性因子结构的面板数据模型估计AI 解读

Panel data models with unobserved heterogeneity in the form of interactive effects standardly assume that the time effects -- or ``common factors'' -- enter linearly. This assumption is restrictive because it concerns an unobserved component of the model, for which a particular functional form is rarely justified. By contrast, linearity in the observable regressors can often be motivated by economic theory or empirical convention. Linearity in the factors has mainly…

含测量误差的交互固定效应动态线性面板回归分析AI 解读

This paper studies a simple dynamic linear panel regression model with interactive fixed effects in which the variable of interest is measured with error. To estimate the dynamic coefficient, we consider the least-squares minimum distance (LS-MD) estimation method.

交互固定效应因子数未知时的线性面板回归AI 解读

In this paper we study the least squares (LS) estimator in a linear panel regression model with unknown number of factors appearing as interactive fixed effects. Assuming that the number of factors used in estimation is larger than the true number of factors in the data, we establish the limiting distribution of the LS estimator for the regression coefficients as the number of time periods and the number of cross-sectional units jointly go to infinity. The main result of the…

含交互固定效应的动态线性面板回归模型AI 解读

We analyze linear panel regression models with interactive fixed effects and predetermined regressors, for example lagged-dependent variables. The first-order asymptotic theory of the least squares (LS) estimator of the regression coefficients is worked out in the limit where both the cross-sectional dimension and the number of time periods become large. We find two sources of asymptotic bias of the LS estimator: bias due to correlation or heteroscedasticity of the…

含交互固定效应的随机系数 Logit 需求模型估计AI 解读

We extend the Berry, Levinsohn and Pakes (BLP, 1995) random coefficients discrete-choice demand model, which underlies much recent empirical work in IO. We add interactive fixed effects in the form of a factor structure on the unobserved product characteristics. The interactive fixed effects can be arbitrarily correlated with the observed product characteristics (including price), which accommodates endogeneity and, at the same time, captures strong persistence in market…

处理效应异质性与交互固定效应：会不会控制过度？AI 解读

This paper studies the interactive fixed effects (IFE) estimator in a panel-data setting with heterogeneous treatment effects. We show that, if the treatment-effect heterogeneity admits a linear factor structure, the IFE estimator could fail to recover the average treatment effect on the treated units. The problem arises because the interactive fixed effects absorb the heterogeneity in the treatment effect, creating a \textit{bad-control} problem. With time-invariant factors…

交互固定效应非线性面板模型的 Bootstrap 推断AI 解读

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…

因子增强面板回归与方差加权处理效应AI 解读

We revisit panel regressions with unobserved heterogeneity through the lens of variance-weighted average treatment effects. Building on established results for cross-sectional OLS and one-way fixed effects panels, we show that two-way panel estimators with latent factors, specifically the principal components estimator of Greenaway-McGrevy, Han and Sul (2012) and the interactive fixed effects estimator of Bai (2009), also converge to interpretable estimands under fully…

追逐机会：美国州人口增长的溢出效应与驱动因素AI 解读

We study the drivers and spatial diffusion of U.S. state population growth using a dynamic spatial model for 49 states, 1965-2017. Methodologically, we recover the spatial network structure from the data, rather than imposing it a priori via contiguity or distance, and combine this with an IV estimator that permits heterogeneous slopes and interactive fixed effects. This unified design delivers consistent estimation and inference in a flexible spatial panel model with…

交互、分组与非可分固定效应：新面板计量方法的实践指南AI 解读

The past 20 years have brought fundamental advances in modeling unobserved heterogeneity in panel data. Interactive Fixed Effects (IFE) proved to be a foundational framework, generalizing the standard one-way and two-way fixed effects models by allowing the unit-specific unobserved heterogeneity to be interacted with unobserved time-varying common factors, allowing for more general forms of omitted variables. The IFE framework laid the theoretical foundations for other forms…

固定时间维度下异质性面板模型的双向均值组估计AI 解读

We consider a correlated random coefficient panel data model with two-way fixed effects and interactive fixed effects in a fixed T framework. We propose a two-way mean group (TW-MG) estimator for the expected value of the slope coefficient and propose a leave-one-out jackknife method for valid inference. We also consider a pooled estimator and provide a Hausman-type test for poolability. Simulations demonstrate the excellent performance of our estimators and inference…

含交互固定效应的高维面板数据模型：估计与推断AI 解读

We develop new econometric methods for estimation and inference in high-dimensional panel data models with interactive fixed effects. Our approach can be regarded as a non-trivial extension of the very popular common correlated effects (CCE) approach. Roughly speaking, we proceed as follows: We first construct a projection device to eliminate the unobserved factors from the model by applying a dimensionality reduction transform to the matrix of cross-sectionally averaged…

序贯合成双重差分AI 解读

We propose the Sequential Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (Sequential SDiD) estimator for event studies with staggered treatment adoption, particularly when the parallel trends assumption fails. The method uses an iterative imputation procedure on aggregated data, where estimates for early-adopting cohorts are used to construct counterfactuals for later ones. We prove the estimator is asymptotically equivalent to an infeasible oracle OLS estimator within a linear model…

广义因子结构面板模型的统计推断AI 解读

We consider identification, inference and validation of linear panel data models when both factors and factor loadings are accounted for by a nonparametric function. This general specification encompasses rather popular models such as the two-way fixed effects and the interactive fixed effects ones. By applying a conditional mean independence assumption between unobserved heterogeneity and the covariates, we obtain consistent estimators of the parameters of interest at the…

含交互效应动态面板模型的准极大似然估计效率AI 解读

This paper studies the problem of efficient estimation of panel data models in the presence of an increasing number of incidental parameters. We formulate the dynamic panel as a simultaneous equations system, and derive the efficiency bound under the normality assumption. We then show that the Gaussian quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) applied to the system achieves the normality efficiency bound without the normality assumption. Comparison of QMLE with the fixed…

With the rapid advancement of information technology and data collection systems, large-scale spatial panel data presents new methodological and computational challenges. This paper introduces a dynamic spatial panel quantile model that incorporates unobserved heterogeneity. The proposed model captures the dynamic structure of panel data, high-dimensional cross-sectional dependence, and allows for heterogeneous regression coefficients. To estimate the model, we propose a…
