Abstract Panel data analysis is an important topic in statistics and econometrics. Traditionally, in panel data analysis, all individuals are assumed to share the same unknown parameters, e.g. the same coefficients of covariates when the linear models are used, and the differences between the individuals are accounted for by cluster effects. This kind of modelling only makes sense if our main interest is on the global trend, this is because it would not be able to tell us anything about the…

A Class of Semiparametric Models with Homogeneous Structure for Panel Data Analysis
Stimulated by the analysis of a dataset from China about Covid-19, we propose a class of semiparametric models for panel data analysis. The proposed models account for both homogeneity and…
Nonparametric Quantile Regression for Homogeneity Pursuit in Panel Data Models
Many panel data have the latent subgroup effect on individuals, and it is important to correctly identify these groups since the efficiency of resulting estimators can be improved significantly by…
Blocked Clusterwise Regression
TLDR
The finding that the clustered heterogeneity models studied in this literature can be badly misspecified, even when the panel has significant discrete cross-sectional structure is motivated by the finding that over-fitting can be severe in k-means style estimators when the number of clusters is over-specified.
Homogeneity and Structure Identification in Semiparametric Factor Models
Abstract Factor modeling is an essential tool for exploring intrinsic dependence structures in financial and economic studies through the construction of common latent variables, including the famous…
Network-Based Clustering for Varying Coefficient Panel Data Models
TLDR
A novel varying-coefficient panel-data model with locally stationary regressors and unknown group structure is introduced, in which the number of groups and the group membership are controlled by the model.
Structured Ultrahigh Dimensional Multiple-Index Models with Efficient Estimation in Computation And Theory
TLDR
The proposed SMIM takes many commonly used semiparametric models as its special cases, such as stochastic frontier models, single-index model, additive-index models etc, and estimates all of functions and parameters based on full likelihood-type function.
Supervised Homogeneity Fusion: a Combinatorial Approach
TLDR
This work proposes and investigates a new combinatorial grouping approach called L0-Fusion that is amenable to mixed integer optimization (MIO) and identifies a fundamental quantity called grouping sensitivity that underpins the difficulty of recovering the true groups.
A pairwise strategic network formation model with group heterogeneity: With an application to international travel
This study considers a network formation model in which each dyad of agents strategically determines the link status. Our model allows the agents to have unobserved group heterogeneity in the…

Structure identification in panel data analysis
Panel data analysis is an important topic in statistics and econometrics. In such analysis, it is very common to assume the impact of a covariate on the response variable remains constant across all…
Homogeneity pursuit in panel data models: Theory and application
This paper studies estimation of a panel data model with latent structures where individuals can be classified into different groups where slope parameters are homogeneous within the same group but…

Grouped Patterns of Heterogeneity in Panel Data
This paper introduces time‐varying grouped patterns of heterogeneity in linear panel data models. A distinctive feature of our approach is that group membership is left unrestricted. We estimate the…
SPLINE ESTIMATION OF SINGLE-INDEX MODELS
For the past two decades, the single-index model, a special case of pro- jection pursuit regression, has proven to be an efficient way of coping with the high-dimensional problem in nonparametric…
A Multiple-Index Model and Dimension Reduction
Dimension reduction can be used as an initial step in statistical modeling. Further specification of model structure is imminent and important when the reduced dimension is still greater than 1. In…
Homogeneity Pursuit
TLDR
A new method called clustering algorithm in regression via data-driven segmentation (CARDS) to explore homogeneity and the asymptotic normality of the proposed CARDS estimator is established, which reveals better estimation accuracy for homogeneous parameters than that without homogeneity exploration.

This paper develops an inferential theory for factor models of large dimensions. The principal components estimator is considered because it is easy to compute and is asymptotically equivalent to the…
Classification of Nonparametric Regression Functions in Heterogeneous Panels
We investigate a nonparametric panel model with heterogeneous regression functions. In a variety of applications, it is natural to impose a group structure on the regression curves. Specifically, we…
Determining the number of groups in latent panel structures with an application to income and democracy
We consider a latent group panel structure as recently studied by Su, Shi, and Phillips (2016), where the number of groups is unknown and has to be determined empirically. We propose a testing…
