The More the Merrier? : A Machine Learning Algorithm for Optimal Pooling of Panel Data /
We leverage insights from machine learning to optimize the tradeoff between bias and variance when estimating economic models using pooled datasets. Specifically, we develop a simple algorithm that estimates the similarity of economic structures across countries and selects the optimal pool of count...
