各位學界的朋友，大家好：

臺大計量理論與應用研究中心 (CRETA)、臺灣經濟計量學會與臺大財務金融學系將共同舉辦三月份WETA <WETA@TES>。

【2012 年三月份 WETA 研討會】

日期：2012 年 3 月 30 日 (五) 下午2:00~5:00

地點：臺灣大學管理學院一號館 2F 冠德講堂

講者：陳釗而教授 國立臺灣大學經濟學系

講題：I. High-Dimensional Factor Analysis

            II. Panel Data Models: Interactive Effects and Factor Instrumental Variables Are Options Mis-Priced? - Analysis of Option Return Premia

講題摘要：

The first part of the lecture begins with discussing classical factor analysis, in which the statistical theory is developed under a fixed N. We then go on to discuss high-dimensional factor analysis (modern factor analysis) where the number of variables (N) is comparable or even greater than the number of observations (T). Issues related to identification and estimation are discussed. In particular, the maximum-likelihood-based and principal components-based procedures for estimating factor models are investigated. We will also present, if time permitted, a few applications of factor models in economics and finance.

The second part of the lecture mainly focuses on panel data models with factor errors. Specifically we first present the panel data models with interactive fixed effects developed by Bai (2009,Econometrica). For ongoing research, we introduce a novel use of factor analysis controlling for endogeneity within the Panel Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression framework.
