横截面依赖下的自助法推断AI 解读

In this paper, we introduce a method of generating bootstrap samples with unknown patterns of cross‐ sectional/spatial dependence, which we call the spatial dependent wild bootstrap. This method is a spatial counterpart to the wild dependent bootstrap of Shao (2010) and generates data by multiplying a vector of independently and identically distributed external variables by the eigendecomposition of a bootstrap kernel. We prove the validity of our method for studentized and…

存在横截面依赖的因子模型自助法AI 解读

We consider bootstrap methods for factor-augmented regressions with cross sectional dependence among idiosyncratic errors. This is important to capture the bias of the OLS estimator derived recently by Gonçalves and Perron (2014). We first show that a common approach of resampling cross sectional vectors over time is invalid in this context because it induces a zero bias. We then propose the cross-sectional dependent (CSD) bootstrap where bootstrap samples are obtained by…

含估计因子的嵌套模型等预测精度检验AI 解读

In this paper we develop asymptotics for tests of equal predictive ability between nested models when factor-augmented regressions are used to forecast. We provide conditions under which the estimation of the factors does not affect the asymptotic distributions developed in Clark and McCracken (2001) and McCracken (2007). This enables researchers to use the existing tabulated critical values when conducting inference despite the presence of estimated predictors. As an…

因子模型的Bootstrap预测区间AI 解读

We propose bootstrap prediction intervals for an observation h periods into the future and its conditional mean. We assume that these forecasts are made using a set of factors extracted from a large panel of variables. Because we treat these factors as latent, our forecasts depend both on estimated factors and estimated regression coefficients. Under regularity conditions, asymptotic intervals have been shown to be valid under Gaussianity of the innovations. The bootstrap…

Generalizations of the point‐optimal panel unit root tests of Moon, Perron and Phillips (MPP) are developed to cover cases of serially correlated errors. The resulting statistics involve two modifications relative to those of MPP: (a) the error variance is replaced by the long‐run variance; (b) centring of the statistic is adjusted to correct for second‐order bias effects induced by the correlation between the error and lagged dependent variable.

因子增强回归模型的自助法AI 解读

This paper proposes and theoretically justifies bootstrap methods for regressions where some of the regressors are factors estimated from a large panel of data. We derive our results under the assumption that T/N→c, where 0≤c<∞ (N and T are the cross-sectional and the time series dimensions, respectively), thus allowing for the possibility that the factor estimation error enters the limiting distribution of the OLS estimator as an asymptotic bias term (as was recently…

Peter C. B. Phillips 对面板数据方法的贡献AI 解读

This paper discusses Peter Phillips’s contributions to panel data methods. These include contributions in the areas of seemingly unrelated regressions, nonstationary panel data, dynamic panels, and the development of multiple index asymptotic theory. We also discuss his empirical contributions in the area of economic growth and convergence that use macro panel data.

. This latter test is equivalent to the well-known pooled t test proposed by Levin et al. (2002, Journal of Econometrics 108, 1--24), and its power depends only on the mean of the local-to-unity parameters. This implies that it has the same power against homogeneous and heterogeneous alternatives with the same mean autoregressive parameter. We then compare these tests to a panel version of the Sargan-Bhargava (1983, Econometrica 51, 153--74) statistic for a unit root and the…

风险溢价的形状AI 解读

We examine the relationship between the risk premium on the Center for Research on Security Prices (CRSP) value-weighted index total return and its conditional variance. We propose a new semiparametric model in which the conditional variance process is parametric and the conditional mean is an arbitrary function of the conditional variance. For monthly CRSP value-weighted excess returns, the relationship between the two moments that we uncover is nonlinear and nonmonotonic.

We extend the local-to-zero analysis of models with weak instruments to models with estimated instruments and regressors and with higher-order dependence between instruments and disturbances. This framework is applicable to linear models with expectation variables that are estimated nonparametrically, such as the risk-return tradeoff in finance and the effect of inflation uncertainty on real economic activity. Our simulation evidence suggests that Lagrange multiplier…
