We establish oracle inequalities for a version of the Lasso in high-dimensional fixed effects dynamic panel data models. The inequalities are valid for the coefficients of the dynamic and exogenous regressors. Separate oracle inequalities are derived for the fixed effects. Next, we show how one can conduct uniformly valid inference on the parameters of the model and construct a uniformly valid estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix which is robust to conditional heteroskedasticity in the error terms. Allowing for conditional heteroskedasticity is important in dynamic models as the conditional error variance may be nonconstant over time and depend on the covariates. Furthermore, our procedure allows for inference on high-dimensional subsets of the parameter vector of an increasing cardinality. We show that the confidence bands resulting from our procedure are asymptotically honest and contract at the optimal rate. This rate is different for the fixed effects than for the remaining parts of the parameter vector.

AbstractWe study the nonasymptotic properties of a general norm penalized estimator, which include Lasso, weighted Lasso, and group Lasso as special cases, for sparse high-dimensional misspecified Cox models with time-dependent covariates. Under suitable conditions on the true regression coefficients and random covariates, we provide oracle inequalities for prediction and estimation error based on the group sparsity of the true coefficient vector. The nonasymptotic oracle inequalities show that the penalized estimator has good sparse approximation of the true model and enables to select a few meaningful structure variables among the set of features.
