Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation is a collection of two papers studying the identification, estimation and testing of Econometrics problems using nonparametric methods. In Chapter 1, we study the estimation and testing of structural changes in panel data models with cross-sectional dependence and local stationarity. Instead of focusing on detection of abrupt structural changes, we consider smooth structural changes for which model parameters are unknown deterministic smooth functions of time, except for a finite number of time points. Such smooth alternatives are expected to be more realistic than sudden structural changes. We use nonparametric local smoothing method to consistently estimate the smooth changing parameters and develop two consistent tests for smooth structural changes in panel data models. The first test is to check whether all model parameters are stable over time. The second test is to check potential time-varying interaction while allowing for a common trend. Both tests have an asymptotic N (0, 1) distribution under the null hypothesis of parameter constancy and are consistent against a vast class of smooth structural changes as well as abrupt structural breaks with possibly unknown break points alternatives. Simulation studies show that the tests provide reliable inference in finite samples. Applying our tests to the cross-country growth accounting model using 14 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries, we find instability in the model parameters. In Chapter 2, we study an under-identified triangular system of equations model that has k endogenous variables, but only strictly less than k excluded instrumental variables (k = 1, 2, ...). We consider a partially linear model. The endogenous variables for which excluded instruments are available are allowed to have a non-parametric effect. The linear part contains the endogenous variables (and higher order moments and interactions of these) for which we have no excluded instruments. Without the availability of additional instrumental variables, we exploit the additive separability in the partially linear model to generate additional exogenous variation that allows us to identify the coefficients of the endogenous regressors for which no excluded instruments are available. An easy-to-implement consistent estimator for the parametric part is presented. By applying the empirical process methods, we show that the estimator retains ?n-convergence rate and asymptotic normality even with the presence of generated regressors (when k > 1). The nonparametric part of the model is identified, and can be estimated with the standard nonparametric convergence rate. Monte Carlo simulation demonstrates our estimator performs well in finite samples."--Pages v-vi.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we propose a new diagnostic test for residual cross-section independence in a nonparametric panel data model. The proposed nonparametric cross-section dependence (CD) test is a nonparametric counterpart of an existing parametric CD test proposed in Pesaren (2004) for the parametric case. We establish an asymptotic distribution of the proposed test statistic under the null hypothesis. As in the parametric case, the proposed test has an asymptotically normal distribution. We then analyze the power function of the proposed test under an alternative hypothesis that involves a nonlinear multi-factor model. We also provide several numerical examples. The small sample studies show that the nonparametric CD test associated with an asymptotic critical value works well numerically in each individual case. An empirical analysis of a set of CPI data in Australian capital cities is given to examine the applicability of the proposed nonparametric CD test.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three essays on nonparametric and semiparametric regression methods. In the first essay, we consider the problem of nonparametric regression with mixed discrete and continuous covariates using the k-nearest neighbor (k-nn) method. We derive the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator and use Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate its finite sample performance. We apply the method to estimate corn yields in Iowa as a function of agricultural district, temperature, and precipitation. In the second essay, we consider the problem of testing error serial correlation in fixed effects panel data models in a nonparametric framework. We show that our test statistic has a standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis of zero serial correlation. The test statistic diverges to infinity at the rate of √N under the alternative hypothesis that errors are serially correlated, where N is the cross-sectional sample size. We propose a bootstrap version of the test which we show to perform well in finite sample applications. In the third essay, we consider estimation of varying-coefficient single-index models with an endogenous regressor. We propose a multi-step instrumental variables procedure to estimate the coefficient function and the corresponding index parameters. We prove the consistency of the estimators, and we present Monte Carlo simulations demonstrating their finite sample performance. We then apply the proposed method to examine the determinants of aggregate illiquidity in the U.S. stock market.

Book excerpt: The first chapter, Two-Way Fixed Effects versus Panel Factor Augmented Estimators: Asymptotic Comparison among Pre-testing Procedures, provides asymptotic analyses of pretesting procedures when the slope coefficients are heterogeneous across cross-sectional units. Empirical researchers may wonder whether or not a two-way fixed effects estimator (with individual and time fixed effects) is sufficiently sophisticated to isolate the influence of common shocks on the estimation of slope coefficients. If it is not, practitioners need to run the so-called panel factor augmented regression instead. There are two pre-testing procedures available in the literature: the use of the estimated number of factors and the direct test of estimated factor loading coefficients. This chapter compares the two pre-testing methods asymptotically. Under the presence of the heterogeneous factor loadings, both pre-testing procedures suggest using the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) estimator. By comparing asymptotic variances, this chapter finds that when the slope coefficients are heterogeneous with homogeneous factor loadings, the CCE estimation is, surprisingly, more efficient than the two-way fixed effects estimation. The second chapter, A New Test for Slope Homogeneity in a Panel Regression with Interactive Fixed Effects, proposes a new test for slope homogeneity in a panel regression with interactive fixed effects without any restriction on the relative expansion rate of n, the number of cross-sectional units, and T, the number of periods.This test is based on a comparison of the estimated number of common factors from two regression residuals. The first regression is an unconstrained regression with heterogeneous slope parameters. The second regression is a pooled regression based on the principal components mean group method. Under the slope heterogeneity, this chapter shows that the estimated number of common factors from the first regression residuals is asymptotically smaller than that of the second regression residuals. In the third chapter, Identification of Outliers for Testing Weak ϳ-Convergence, the authors suggest three novel procedures for separating the divergent series from a convergent club. Weak ϳ8́2convergence test is designed to detect whether cross-sectional variances of a panel data of interest show consistent diminution over time. When the panel data of interest includes divergent series, the cross-sectional variances become contaminated, which results in a seemingly divergent behavior. This chapter deals with this problem. We propose three novel detection procedures for identifying divergence series and provide the asymptotic justification. Utilizing Monte Carlo simulations, the finite sample properties are examined. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the newly proposed methods by using infant mortality rates in 42 countries. Even though all infant mortality rates have shown a downward trending behavior over time, the cross-sectional variance of log infant mortality rates is diverging over time. By using the proposed sieving methods, we identify six outliers. After excluding these outliers, the rest of the infant mortality rates are weakly ϳ-converging over time. Altogether, this dissertation provides methods for a better understanding of the source and nature of the cross-sectional dependence in panel data models.

This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to fill the gap between panel data econometrics textbooks, and the latest development on 'big data', especially large-dimensional panel data econometrics. It introduces important research questions in large panels, including testing for cross-sectional dependence, estimation of factor-augmented panel data models, structural breaks in panels and group patterns in panels. To tackle these high dimensional issues, some techniques used in Machine Learning approaches are also illustrated. Moreover, the Monte Carlo experiments, and empirical examples are also utilised to show how to implement these new inference methods. Large-Dimensional Panel Data Econometrics: Testing, Estimation and Structural Changes also introduces new research questions and results in recent literature in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper argues that cross-sectional dependence (CSD) is an indicator of misspecification in panel quantile regression (QR) rather than just a nuisance that may be accounted for with panel-robust standard errors. This motivates the development of a novel test for panel QR misspecification based on detecting CSD. The test possesses a standard normal limiting distribution under joint N, T asymptotics with restrictions on the relative rate at which N and T go to infinity. A finitesample correction improves the applicability of the test for panels with larger N. An empirical application to housing markets illustrates the use of the proposed cross-sectional dependence test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose three nonparametric tests for the null of no event-induced shifts in the distribution of stock returns. One test is the natural extension of the popular Corrado rank test to the case of cross-sectionally dependent returns, while the other two are based on new ideas. Unfortunately only for one of these tests a solid theory for approximating the distribution of the statistic can be derived, but some simulation experiments confirm that normality is a good approximation also for the other two. The new tests are compared to a widely used parametric test (Patell) through simulation experiments and are shown to compare favorably in terms of power. Simulation results are based on bootstrapping daily stock returns from the S&P100 and NASDAQ indexes.
