协变量增强的累积和泡沫监测程序AI 解读

We explore how information from covariates can be incorporated into the CUSUM-based real-time monitoring procedure for explosive asset price bubbles developed in Homm and Breitung (2012, Journal of Financial Econometrics 10, 198–231). Where dynamic covariates are present in the data generating process (DGP), the false positive rate (FPR) of the basic CUSUM procedure, which is based on the assumption that prices follow a univariate DGP, under the null of no explosivity will…

可能含趋势的预测变量与收益可预测性 Bonferroni 检验AI 解读

ABSTRACT The Bonferroni test is widely used in empirical studies investigating predictability in asset returns by strongly persistent and endogenous predictors. Its formulation, however, only allows for a constant mean in the predictor, seemingly at odds with many of the predictors used in practice. We establish the asymptotic size and local power properties of the test, and the corresponding Bonferroni ‐test, under a local‐to‐zero specification for a linear trend in the…

可能存在水平突变时的积分阶数半参数检验AI 解读

Lobato and Robinson developed semiparametric tests for the null hypothesis that a series is weakly autocorrelated, or I(0), about a constant level, against fractionally integrated alternatives. These tests have the advantage that the user is not required to specify a parametric model for any weak autocorrelation present in the series. We extend this approach in two distinct ways. First, we show that it can be generalized to allow for testing of the null hypothesis that a…

异方差分数单整时间序列模型中的自适应推断AI 解读

We consider estimation and inference in fractionally integrated time series models driven by shocks which can display conditional and unconditional heteroscedasticity of unknown form. Although the standard conditional sum-of-squares (CSS) estimator remains consistent and asymptotically normal in such cases, unconditional heteroscedasticity inflates its variance matrix by a scalar quantity, λ>1, thereby inducing a loss in efficiency relative to the unconditionally…

允许条件异方差的多变量分数积分检验：收益波动率与成交量应用AI 解读

Summary We introduce a new joint test for the order of fractional integration of a multivariate fractionally integrated vector autoregressive (FIVAR) time series based on applying the Lagrange multiplier principle to a feasible generalised least squares estimate of the FIVAR model obtained under the null hypothesis. A key feature of the test we propose is that it is constructed using a heteroskedasticity‐robust estimate of the variance matrix. As a result, the test has a…

检验预测回归无效性的自助法平稳性检验AI 解读

In order for predictive regression tests to deliver asymptotically valid inference, account has to be taken of the degree of persistence of the predictors under test. There is also a maintained assumption that any predictability in the variable of interest is purely attributable to the predictors under test. Violation of this assumption by the omission of relevant persistent predictors renders the predictive regression invalid, and potentially also spurious, as both the…

无限方差线性过程的筛方法推断AI 解读

We extend the available asymptotic theory for autoregressive sieve estimators to cover the case of stationary and invertible linear processes driven by independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) infinite variance (IV) innovations. We show that the ordinary least squares sieve estimates, together with estimates of the impulse responses derived from these, obtained from an autoregression whose order is an increasing function of the sample size, are consistent and exhibit…

季节单位根检验与初始条件的作用AI 解读

In the context of regression-based (quarterly) seasonal unit root tests, we examine the impact of initial conditions (one for each quarter) of the process on test power. We investigate the behaviour of the well-known OLS detrended HEGY seasonal unit root tests together with their quasi-differenced (QD) detrended analogues, when the initial conditions are not asymptotically negligible. We show that the asymptotic local power of a test at a given frequency depends on the value…

方差突变、结构断裂与平稳性检验AI 解读

stochastic stationarity in time series characterized by variance shifts at some (known or unknown) point in the sample. It is shown that existing stationarity tests can be severely biased in the presence of such shifts, either oversized or undersized, with associated spurious power gains or losses, depending on the values of the breakpoint parameter and on the ratio of the prebreak to postbreak variance. Under the assumption of a serially independent Gaussian error term with…

非正交不可观测成分模型中针对随机游走成分的最优检验AI 解读

In this paper we consider the problem of testing the null hypothesis that a series has a constant level (possibly as part of a more general deterministic mean) against the alternative that the level follows a random walk. This problem has previously been studied by, inter alia, Nyblom and Makelainen (1983) in the context of the orthogonal Gaussian random walk plus noise model. This model postulates that the noise component and the innovations to the random walk are…

季节与非季节时间序列中基于递归均值调整的回归单位根检验AI 解读

This article considers tests for (seasonal) unit roots in a univariate time-series process that are similar with respect to both the initial values of the process and the possibility of (differential seasonal) drift under the (seasonal) unit root null. In contrast to existing approaches, the technique of recursive (seasonal) de-meaning and (seasonal) de-trending of the process is adopted. Representations are derived for the limiting distributions of the proposed statistics…

高阶序列相关下基于回归的季节单位根检验性质AI 解读

We analyze the behavior of widely used regression-based tests for seasonal unit roots when the shocks are serially correlated. We show, in the quarterly case, that the common assumption that serial correlation may be accommodated by augmenting the test regression with appropriate lagged seasonal differences is only partially correct. The limiting null distributions of t statistics for unit roots at the zero and Nyquist frequencies are corrected by the lag augmentation, but…

以异方差季节单整为备择的季节单位根检验AI 解读

This article considers the problem of testing for a nonstochastic seasonal unit root in a seasonally observed time series process against the alternative of a randomized seasonal root with mean unity; that is, the process displays heteroscedastic seasonal integration. The alternative hypothesis allows for potentially frequently occurring changes of regime in the process under investigation, allowing for more volatile forms of seasonal nonstationarity. We discuss a family of…
