Abstract: Hierarchical panel data models have recently garnered significant attention. This study contributes to the relevant literature by introducing a novel three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical panel data model, which integrates panel regression with three sets of latent factor structures: one set of global factors and two sets of local factors. Instead of aggregating latent factors from various nodes, as seen in the literature of distributed principal component analysis (PCA), we propose an estimation approach capable of recovering the parameters of interest and disentangling latent factors at different levels and across different dimensions. We establish an asymptotic theory and provide a bootstrap procedure to obtain inference for the parameters of interest while accommodating various types of cross-sectional dependence and time series autocorrelation. Finally, we demonstrate the applicability of our framework by examining productivity convergence in manufacturing industries worldwide.
