Optimal Estimation of Two-Way Effects under Limited Mobility
Joint with Xu Cheng (UPenn) and Sheng Chao Ho (UPenn)
First version: coming soon
Presentation Slides
Summary: this paper develops an empirical Bayes estimator for a panel data model with two-way fixed effects. The hyperparameters that control the variance (degree of shrinkage) and the location of the prior are determined by minimizing an unbiased risk estimate.
