On the two algorithms for estimating interactive fixed effects models in Bai (2009)
In an influential paper, Bai (2009) estimates the interactive fixed effects models by iterating between OLS and PCA until convergence. Bai (2009) proposes two algorithms, one for deriving the limiting theory, while the other for implementation. But the relation between these two algorithms has not been adequately addressed in the literature. We show that the nonlinear simultaneous equations characterizing these two algorithms have the same solutions, but the convergent paths are different in general. We conduct Monte Carlo simulations to compare the statistical and convergent properties of these two algorithms, and find patterns different from previous beliefs.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
