α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
Many regression models have two dimensions, say time (t = 1,…,T) and households (i = 1,…,N), as in panel data, error components, or spatial econometrics. In estimating such models we need to specify the structure of the error variance matrix Ω, which is of dimension T N × T N. If T N is large, then direct computation of the determinant and inverse of Ω is not practical. In this note we define structures of Ω that allow the computation of its determinant and inverse, only using matrices of orders T and N, and at the same time allowing for heteroskedasticity, for household- or station-specific autocorrelation, and for time-specific spatial correlation.
