Standard Errors for Panel Data Models with Unknown Clusters
This paper develops a new standard-error estimator for linear panel data models. The proposed estimator is robust to heteroskedasticity, serial correlation, and cross-sectional correlation of unknown forms. The serial correlation is controlled by the Newey-West method. To control for cross-sectional correlations, we propose to use the thresholding method, without assuming the clusters to be known. We establish the consistency of the proposed estimator. Monte Carlo simulations show the method works well. An empirical application is considered.

Panel Data with Unknown Clusters
Clustered standard errors and approximate randomization tests are popular inference methods that allow for dependence within observations. However, they require researchers to know the cluster structure ex ante. We propo…
Robust Inference in Panel Data Models: Some Effects of Heteroskedasticity and Leveraged Data in Small Samples
With the violation of the assumption of homoskedasticity, least squares estimators of the variance become inefficient and statistical inference conducted with invalid standard errors leads to misleading rejection rates. …
Identification of Nonlinear Dynamic Panels under Partial Stationarity
This paper studies identification for a wide range of nonlinear panel data models, including binary choice, ordered response, and other types of limited dependent variable models. Our approach accommodates dynamic models…
How to Detect Network Dependence in Latent Factor Models? A Bias-Corrected CD Test
In a recent paper Juodis and Reese (2022) (JR) show that the application of the CD test proposed by Pesaran (2004) to residuals from panels with latent factors results in over-rejection. They propose a randomized test st…
validFactor-Augmented Machine Learning Panel Regressions
This paper develops the asymptotic theory for high-dimensional panel data regressions in settings with cross-sectionally dependent errors driven by common shocks. We consider a factor-augmented sparse-group LASSO estimat…
