主讲人简介:
Dr. Ping YU graduated from Peking University in 2000 with a B.S. in Mathematics and Economics, and in 2002 with an M.S. in Finance.  He obtained his M.S. in Economics in 2005, and Ph.D. in Economics in 2009, both from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Before joining the Faculty of Business of Economics at The University of Hong Kong as Assistant Professor in 2014, he was a lecturer at the University of Auckland, New Zealand for five years.
 
Ping’s research interests are in theoretical and applied microeconometrics, especially in threshold regression and treatment effects evaluation.  He has published several papers in academic journals including Journal of Econometrics, Econometric Theory, and Journal of Business & Economic Statistics among others.

讲座简介:

This paper studies estimation and inferences in multiple regime panel threshold regression with unobserved individual-specific threshold effects. These effects are important from the practical perspective and define a distinguishing feature from traditional linear panel data models. It is shown that the withinregime demeaning in the static model or the within-regime first-differencing in the dynamic model cannot generate consistent estimators of the threshold, so the correlated random effects models are suggested to handle the endogeneity in such general panel threshold models. We provide a unified estimation and inference framework that is valid for both the static and dynamic models and regardless of whether the unobserved individual-specific threshold effects exist or not. Specifically, we suggest model selection based on sequential testing which allows for underestimation of the number of regimes, develop the asymptotic theory for the least squares estimator that is robust to such model misspecification, and propose new inference methods for the model parameters which have better theoretical properties than the existing methods. Simulation studies and an empirical application illustrate the usefulness of our new model selection, estimation and inference methodology in practice.
