Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This paper studies a linear and additively separable model for multidimensional panel data of three or more dimensions with unobserved interactive fixed effects. Two approaches are considered to account for these unobserved interactive fixed-effects when estimating coefficients on the observed covariates. First, the model is embedded within the standard two-dimensional panel framework and restrictions are derived under which the factor structure methods in Bai (2009) lead to consistent estimation of model parameters. The second approach considers group fixed-effects and kernel methods that are more robust to the multidimensional nature of the problem. Theoretical results and simulations show the benefit of standard two-dimensional panel methods when the structure of the interactive fixed-effect term is known, but also highlight how the group fixed-effects and kernel methods perform well without knowledge of this structure.
