门槛模型中的外生性检验AI 解读

Most work in the area of nonlinear econometric modeling is based on a single equation and assumes exogeneity of the explanatory variables. Recently, work by Caner and Hansen (2004) and Psaradakis, Sola, and Spagnolo (2005) has considered the possibility of estimating nonlinear models by methods that take into account endogeneity but provide no tests for exogeneity. This paper examines the problem of testing for exogeneity in nonlinear threshold models. We suggest new…

不确定数据的信号提取：状态空间方法AI 解读

Most macroeconomic data are uncertain—they are estimates rather than perfect measures of underlying economic variables. One symptom of that uncertainty is the propensity of statistical agencies to revise their estimates in the light of new information or methodological advances. This paper sets out an approach for extracting the signal from uncertain data. It describes a two-step estimation procedure in which the history of past revisions is first used to estimate the…

强依赖过程的非线性模型及金融应用AI 解读

This paper is motivated by recent evidence that many univariate economic and financial time series have both nonlinear and long memory characteristics. Hence, this paper considers a general nonlinear, smooth transition regime autoregression which is embedded within a strongly dependent, long memory process. A time domain MLE with simultaneous estimation of the long memory, linear AR and nonlinear parameters is shown to have desirable asymptotic properties. The Bayesian and…

贝叶斯与信息论模型平均在预测中的应用AI 解读

Model averaging often improves forecast accuracy over individual forecasts. It may also be seen as a means of forecasting in data-rich environments. Bayesian model averaging methods have been widely advocated, but a neglected frequentist approach is to use information-theoretic-based weights. We consider the use of information-theoretic model averaging in forecasting U.K. inflation, with a large dataset, and find that it can be a powerful alternative to Bayesian averaging…

长记忆模型中遗漏非线性的检验AI 解读

This article constructs tests for the presence of nonlinearity of unknown form in addition to a fractionally integrated, long-memory component in a time series process. The tests are based on artificial neural network approximations and do not restrict the parametric form of the nonlinearity. Some theoretical results for the new tests are obtained, and detailed simulation evidence on the power of the tests is presented. The new methodology is then applied to a wide variety…

面板单位根检验中截面依赖的动态因子提取AI 解读

Abstract Recently, considerable emphasis has been placed on the problems arising out of cross‐sectional dependence in panel unit root tests. This paper adopts the factor‐based cross‐sectional dependence paradigm of Bai and Ng ( 2005 ) but suggests alternative factor extraction methods. Some theoretical results for these methods are provided. Further, a detailed Monte Carlo study of these methods for multiple and persistent factors is undertaken. It is found that results are…

三区制SETAR模型中的单位根检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a simple testing procedure to distinguish a unit root process from a globally stationary three-regime self-exciting threshold autoregressive process. Following the threshold cointegration literature we assume that the process follows the random walk in the corridor regime, and therefore we propose that the null of a unit root be tested by the Wald statistic for the joint significance of autoregressive parameters in both lower and upper regimes. We…

非线性平滑转换误差修正模型中的协整检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a new testing procedure to detect the presence of a cointegrating relationship that follows a globally stationary smooth transition process. In the context of nonlinear smooth transition error correction models (ECMs) we provide two simple operational versions of the tests. First, we obtain the associated nonlinear ECM-based tests. Second, we derive the nonlinear analogue of the residual-based test for cointegration in linear models. We derive the…

AIC 下协整秩估计量的渐近分布AI 解读

We derive the asymptotic distribution of the estimate of the cointegration rank of a multivariate model when Akaike's information criterion is used. It is shown that the use of this criterion is ill-advised given that the estimate is severely upward biased even asymptotically.I thank the editor, Professor Peter Phillips, and three anonymous referees for comments and suggestions that improved this paper significantly. All remaining errors are my own.

非线性 STAR 框架下的单位根检验AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a simple testing procedure to detect the presence of nonstationarity against nonlinear but globally stationary exponential smooth transition autoregressive processes. We provide an advance over the existing literature in three senses. First, we derive the limiting nonstandard distribution of the proposed tests. Second, we find via Monte Carlo simulation exercises that under the alternative of a globally stationary ESTAR process, our proposed test…

降秩回归模型中的秩检验AI 解读

There has recently been renewed research interest in the development of tests of the rank of a matrix. This article evaluates the performance of some asymptotic tests of rank determination in reduced rank regression models together with bootstrapped versions through simulation experiments. The bootstrapped procedures significantly improve on the performance of the corresponding asymptotic tests. The article also presents a Monte Carlo exercise comparing the forecasting…

经济活动的自动先行指标：欧洲国家GDP增长预测AI 解读

In the construction of a leading indicator model of economic activity, economists must select among a pool of variables which lead output growth. Usually the pool of variables is large and a selection of a subset must be carried out. This paper proposes an automatic leading indicator model which, rather than preselection, uses a dynamic factor model to summarize the information content of a pool of variables. Results using quarterly data for France, Germany, Italy and the…
