Bayesian estimation of sparse dynamic factor models with order-independent identification

Author

Abstract

The analysis of large panel data sets (with N variables) involves methods of dimension reduction and optimal information extraction. Dimension reduction is usually achieved by extracting the common variation in the data into few factors (k, where k
