Abstract
We consider a computationally simple orthogonal projection method to implement the (Bai and Ng in Econometrica 70:191–221, 2002) information criterion to select the factor dimension for panel interactive effects models that bypasses issues arising from the joint estimation of the slope coefficients and factor structure. Our simulations show that it performs well in cases the method can be implemented.
