This research aims to develop a new method for estimating heterogeneous effects in panel data models using low-rank estimation.
Developed a panel data model that allows slope variability across individuals and time.
Implemented a multi-step estimation process involving sample splitting and partialing-out.
Estimated slope matrices through low-rank regularized regression.
Established the asymptotic normality of the estimator, aiding in valid inference.
The method showed effective performance in simulations and practical applications, highlighting improved estimation accuracy.
