简介:

State-level business conditions exhibit both synchronization and heterogeneity across states. To capture these two features, we propose a three-dimensional factor model for measuring state-level business conditions. To accommodate data imbalance and missing observations, we develop an inferential theory for three-dimensional factor models under general missingness. Our estimation procedure applies principal component analysis to an adjusted covariance matrix constructed from partially observed data, yielding a flexible estimator that efficiently exploits all available observations. We derive the asymptotic distributions of the estimated factors and loadings. Using these estimators together with a variance-decomposition framework, we construct state-level business condition indices for the United States and China. The results reveal substantial comovement as well as pronounced cross-state heterogeneity.
