It shows that many managers find the Factor 3 strategy to be clear and understandable but with … challenging goals and metrics; managers and executives are optimistic about success and feel Factor 3 gives Henkel a competitive …

factor proxies (observed variables that proxy unobserved estimated factors) using the statistics developed in Bai and Ng … (2006a,b). Our approach to factor proxy selection is examined via a small Monte Carlo experiment, where evidence supporting … Watson (2005). One of our main empirical findings is that our “smoothed” approaches to factor proxy selection appear to yield …

the value of the spline at the baseline reference point. Reference splines therefore model continuous factor variables as … indicator variables (or "dummies") model discrete factor variables. The method can be extended in a similar way to define factor …-product bases, allowing the user to estimate factor-combination means, subset-specific effects, or even factor interactions …
