Data-driven model selection within the matrix completion method for causal panel data models

Matrix completion estimators are employed in causal panel data models to regulate the rank of the underlying factor model using nuclear norm minimization. This convex optimization problem enables concurrent regularization of a potentially high-dimensional set of covariates to shrink the model size. For valid finite sample inference, we adopt a permutation-based approach and prove its validity for any treatment assignment mechanism. Simulations illustrate the consistency of the proposed estimator in parameter estimation and variable selection. An application to public health policies in Germany demonstrates the data-driven model selection feature on empirical data and finds no effect of travel restrictions on the containment of severe Covid-19 infections.
