Specification LASSO and a Flexible Characteristics-Based Asset Pricing Model
设定 LASSO 与灵活的特征型资产定价模型
This paper studies a partially linear semiparametric additive model that allows for interactions among variables in high-dimensional settings. We propose the Specification LASSO (S-LASSO), a two-step method that integrates LASSO and Adaptive Group LASSO to simultaneously perform variable selection and model specification. Theoretically, we establish that S-LASSO possesses oracle properties in terms of selection consistency and asymptotic normality. Monte Carlo simulations…
