This paper proposes latent factor models for multidimensional panels called 3D-PCA. Factor weights are constructed from a small set of dimension-specific building blocks, which give rise to proportionality restrictions of factor weights. While the set of feasible factors is restricted, factors...

This paper proposes a new approach to the "factor zoo" conundrum. Instead of applying dimension-reduction methods to a large set of portfolios obtained from sorts on characteristics, I construct factors that summarize the information in characteristics across assets and then sort assets into...

To rationalize these findings, and to inform policy, we develop a tractable model of spatial innovation … that features both within- and cross-cluster innovation spillovers. Based on our model, we derive a sufficient statistic …

We examine how exposure of Chinese firms to the Covid-19 shock varied with a cluster index (measuring spatial agglomeration of firms in related industries) at the county level. Two data sources are used: entry flows of newly registered firms in the entire country, and an entrepreneur survey...

Clusters are geographic concentrations of industries related by knowledge, skills, inputs, demand, and/or other linkages. A growing body of empirical literature has shown the positive impact of clusters on regional and industry performance, including job creation, patenting, and new business...

This paper evaluates the role of regional cluster composition in the economic performance of industries, clusters and regions. On the one hand, diminishing returns to specialization in a location can result in a convergence effect: the growth rate of an industry within a region may be declining...

Sparse models, though long preferred and pursued by social scientists, can be ineffective or unstable relative to large models, for example, in economic predictions (Giannone et al., 2021). To achieve sparsity for economic interpretation while exploiting big data for superior empirical...

Research on intellectual property has focused on formal legally recorded rights that we call deeded, most often measured by granted patents. Meanwhile, other "defacto" IP (mainly purposive secrecy and natural excludability) has become more important because of the increasing closeness of...
