Estimation of Factor-Augmented Panel Regressions with Weakly Influential Factors

Reese, Simon LU and Westerlund, Joakim LU (2018) In Econometric Reviews 37(5). p.401-465
Abstract
The use of factor-augmented panel regressions has become very popular in recent years. Existing methods for such regressions require that the common factors are strong, an assumption that is likely to be mistaken in practice. Motivated by this, the current paper offers an analysis of the effect of weak, semi-weak and semi-strong factors on two of the most popular estimators for factor-augmented regressions, namely, principal components (PC) and common correlated effects (CCE).
