报告摘要：Panel data analysis is an important topic in statistics and econometrics.  Traditionally, in panel data analysis, all individuals are assumed to share the same unknown parameters, e.g. the same coefficients of covariates when the linear models are used, and the differences between the individuals are accounted for by cluster effects.  This kind of modeling only makes sense if our main interest is on the global trend, this is because it would not be able to tell us anything about the individual attributes which are sometimes very important.  In this talk, I will present a new modeling approach, based on the single index models embedded with homogeneity, for panel data analysis, which builds the individual attributes in the model and is parsimonious at the same time.  I will show a data driven approach to identify the structure of homogeneity, and estimate the unknown parameters and functions based on the identified structure.  I will show the asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators.  I will also use intensive simulation studies to show how well the resulting estimators work when sample size is finite.  Finally, I will apply the proposed modeling idea to a public financial dataset and a UK climate dataset, and show some interesting findings.
