提出新方法Post-Double-Autometrics,更好估计高维线性回归中的关键参数。
Estimation in high-dimensional linear regression: Post-Double-Autometrics as an alternative to Post-Double-Lasso
- 基于Autometrics思想改进变量选择流程
- 在有限样本下显著降低遗漏变量偏差
- 适合关注因果效应的经济学研究者
当线性回归模型包含大量协变量且目标是准确估计某一参数(如平均处理效应)时,Post-Double-Lasso已成为主流方法。然而,该方法在有限样本下可能面临严重的遗漏变量偏差。本文提出一种新方法——Post-Double-Autometrics,其基于Autometrics框架,实证结果显示该方法优于Post-Double-Lasso。在标准经济增长应用中,该方法为“贫困向富裕经济体收敛”这一假说提供了新的证据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Post-Double-Lasso is becoming the most popular method for estimating linear regression models with many covariates when the purpose is to obtain an accurate estimate of a parameter of interest, such as an average treatment effect. However, this method can suffer from substantial omitted variable bias in finite sample. We propose a new method called Post-Double-Autometrics, which is based on Autometrics, and show that this method outperforms Post-Double-Lasso. Its use in a standard application of economic growth sheds new light on the hypothesis of convergence from poor to rich economies.
