利用商品价格指数预测通货膨胀AI 解读

This paper shows that for five small commodity-exporting countries that have adopted inflation targeting monetary policies, world commodity price aggregates have predictive power for their CPI and PPI inflation, particularly once possible structural breaks are taken into account. This conclusion is robust to using either disaggregated or aggregated commodity price indexes (although the former perform better), the currency denomination of the commodity prices, and to using…

基于得分的间接推断AI 解读

The efficient method of moments (EMM) estimator is an indirect inference estimator based on the simulated auxiliary score evaluated at the sample estimate of the auxiliary parameters. We study an alternative estimator that uses the sample auxiliary score evaluated at the simulated binding function, which maps the structural parameters of interest to the auxiliary parameters. We show that the alternative estimator has the same asymptotic properties as the EMM estimator but in…

含弱识别干扰参数的 GMM 新投影推断方法AI 解读

Projection-based tests for subsets of parameters are useful because they do not over-reject the true parameter values when either it is difficult to estimate the nuisance parameters or their identification status is questionable. However, they are also often criticized for being overly conservative. We overcome this conservativeness by introducing a new projection-based test that is more powerful than the traditional projection-based tests. The new test is even…

线性工具变量回归中的新投影型分样本得分检验AI 解读

In this paper we introduce a new method of projection-type inference and describe it in the context of two stage least squares–based split-sample inference on subsets of structural coefficients in a linear instrumental variables regression model. The use of the new method not only guards against the uncontrolled overrejection of the true value of the parameters of interest but also reduces the conservativeness of the usual method of projection proposed by Dufour and his…

利用时变多元模型带通滤波提取稳健的美国商业周期AI 解读

Abstract We develop a flexible business cycle indicator that accounts for potential time variation in macroeconomic variables. The coincident economic indicator is based on a multivariate trend cycle decomposition model and is constructed from a moderate set of US macroeconomic time series. In particular, we consider an unobserved components time series model with a common cycle that is shared across different time series but adjusted for phase shift and amplitude. The…

贝弗里奇—纳尔逊分解与其他永久—暂时分解的关系AI 解读

The Beveridge-Nelson (BN) decomposition is a model-based method for decomposing time series into permanent and transitory components. When constructed from an ARIMA model, it is closely related to decompositions based on unobserved components (UC) models with random walk trends and covariance stationary cycles. The decomposition when extended to I(2) models can also be related to non-model-based signal extraction filters such as the HP filter. We show that the BN…

大崩盘、石油价格冲击与单位根假说的进一步证据AI 解读

Perron (1989) has carried out tests of the unit root hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis of trend stationarity with a break in the trend occurring at the Great Crash of 1929 or at the 1973 oil price shock. Here a variation of Perron's test is considered in which the break point is estimated rather than fixed. The asymptotic distribution of the "estimated break point" test statistic is determined and the data considered by Perron are reanalyzed. The authors find…

马尔可夫状态转换与单位根检验AI 解读

We investigate the power and size performance of unit-root tests when the data undergo Markov regime switching. All tests, including those robust to a single break in trend growth rate, have low power against a process with a Markov-switching trend. Under the null hypothesis, we find that previously documented size distortions in Dickey-Fuller-type tests caused by a single break in trend growth rate or variance do not generalize to most parameterizations of Markov switching…

水平、趋势与方差多重结构变化的贝叶斯时间序列模型AI 解读

We consider a deterministically trending dynamic time series model in which multiple structural changes in level, trend, and error variance are modeled explicitly and the number, but not the timing, of the changes is known. Estimation of the model is made possible by the use of the Gibbs sampler. The determination of the number of structural breaks and the form of structural change is considered as a problem of model selection, and we compare the use of marginal likelihoods,…

预先指定协整向量时单方程协整检验的功效AI 解读

In this paper I present an alternative derivation of the asymptotic distribution of Kremers, Ericsson, and Dolado's (1992, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics 54, 325–348) conditional error correction model (ECM)–based t -test for cointegration with a single prespecified cointegrating vector. This alternative distribution, which is identical to the distribution of Hansen's (1995, Econometric Theory 11, 1148–1171) covariate augmented t -test for a unit root, is valid…

弱工具变量回归中结构参数的推断AI 解读

The authors consider the problem of making asymptotically valid inference on structural parameters in instrumental variables regression with weak instruments. Using local-to-zero asymptotics, they derive the asymptotic distributions of likelihood ratio (LR) and Lagrange multiplier (LM) type statistics for testing simple hypotheses on structural parameters based on maximum likelihood and generalized methods of moments estimation methods. In contrast to the nonstandard…

不可观测成分模型中的单位根假设：贝叶斯分析AI 解读

In this paper we extend some of Phillips's [4] results to nonlinear unobserved components models and develop a posterior odds ratio test of the unit root hypothesis based on flat and Jeffreys priors. In contrast to the analysis presented by Schotman and van Dijk [9], we utilize a nondegenerate structural representation of the components model that allows us to determine well-behaved Jeffreys priors, posterior densities under flat priors and Jeffreys priors, and posterior…
