矩条件选择的自助法AI 解读

This paper proposes a bootstrap-based procedure for selecting the best moment conditions among a set of correctly specified moment conditions. The proposed method can be motivated by Edgeworth expansions and chooses moment conditions that minimize the approximate coverage error of confidence intervals and hypothesis tests for parameters. Because of the analytical intractability of Edgeworth expansions, we estimate the coverage error by the bootstrap. The proposed method can…

遗漏结构不稳定时协方差估计与过度识别检验的极限行为AI 解读

We consider the limiting behavior of the overidentifying restrictions test in the presence of neglected structural instability at a single “break point.” It is shown that the test need not be consistent against this type of misspecification. If it is consistent then it emerges that the limiting behavior of this test statistic depends on the covariance matrix estimator employed. In this paper we consider the case in which a heteroskedasticity autocorrelation covariance (HAC)…

极限分布对目标参数连续并非 Bootstrap 有效性的必要条件AI 解读

It is well known that the unrestricted bootstrap estimator of the slope parameter in the random walk model without drift converges to a random distribution. This bootstrap failure is commonly attributed to the discontinuity of the limit distribution of the least-squares estimator in the parameter of interest. We demonstrate by counterexample that this type of continuity is not essential for the validity of the bootstrap nor is it essential that the rate of convergence of the…

模型误设下广义矩估计量的大样本行为AI 解读

This paper presents the limiting distribution theory for the GMM estimator when the estimation is based on a population moment condition which is subject to non–local (or fixed) misspecification. It is shown that if the parameter vector is overidentified then the weighting matrix plays a far more fundamental role than it does in the corresponding analysis for correctly specified models. Specifically, the rate of convergence of the estimator depends on the rate of convergence…

长记忆与状态转换AI 解读

The theoretical and empirical econometric literatures on long memory and regime switching have evolved largely independently, as the phenomena appear distinct. We argue, in contrast, that they are intimately related, and we substantiate our claim in several environments, including a simple mixture model, Engle and Lee's (1999) stochastic permanent break model, and Hamilton's (1989) Markov switching model. In particular, we show analytically that stochastic regime switching…

时间序列分布变化的检验AI 解读

This paper proposes nonparametric tests of change in the distribution function of a time series. The limiting null distributions of the test statistics depend on a nuisance parameter, and critical values cannot be tabulated a priori. To circumvent this problem, a new simulation-based statistical method is developed. The validity of our simulation procedure is established in terms of size, local power, and test consistency. The finite-sample properties of the proposed tests…
