Testing the eigenvalue structure of spot and integrated covariance
瞬时与积分协方差特征值结构的检验
For vector Itô semimartingale dynamics, we derive the asymptotic distributions of likelihood-ratio-type test statistics for the purpose of identifying the eigenvalue structure of both integrated and spot covariance matrices estimated using high-frequency data. Unlike the existing approaches where the cross-section dimension grows to infinity, our tests do not necessarily require large cross-section and thus allow for a wide range of applications. The tests, however, are…
