Nonlinear econometric panel models with fixed effects

该项目旨在针对公共卫生和国际贸易中的政策问题制定有效的量化方法。许多非线性面板模型对于回答与政策相关的研究问题是必不可少的，但不能估计感兴趣的关键对象，而默认的推理程序往往是误导性的，使确定的影响的大小无法量化。本项目将开发克服许多计量经济学模型的这些局限性的方法，并将其应用于卫生经济学和国际贸易中的重要模型。预计这些改进将减少公共决策的风险，从而产生更好和更有效的政策。

This project aims to develop effective quantitative methods tailored to policy questions in public health and international trade. Many nonlinear panel models are essential to answer policy-relevant research questions, but cannot estimate key objects of interest, while default procedures for inference are often misleading, making magnitudes of identified effects impossible to quantify. This project will develop methods to overcome these limitations for many econometric models, and apply them to important models in health economics and international trade. Such improvements are expected to reduce risk in public decision-making, resulting in better and more effective policies.
