缓冲储蓄行为的统计推断AI 解读

ABSTRACT There is an ongoing debate about the buffer‐stock saving hypothesis. This paper develops a formal test of the hypothesis by examining the sub‐unity of the marginal propensity to consume out of permanent income (MPCP). Our test relies on a novel estimator of the average derivative of a nonparametric consumption model, using constructed measures of latent permanent income shocks that accommodate nonparametric income distributions. Following Li and Vuong (1998), we use…

存在测量误差的变系数模型估计AI 解读

We propose a semiparametric estimator for varying coefficient models when the regressors in the nonparametric components are measured with error. Varying coefficient models are an extension of other popular semiparametric models , including partially linear and nonparametric additive models, and deliver an attractive solution to the curse-of-dimensionality. We use deconvolution kernel estimation in a two-step procedure and show that the estimator is consistent and…

测量误差模型中的非参数显著性检验AI 解读

We develop the first nonparametric significance test for regression models with classical measurement error in the regressors. In particular, a Cramér-von Mises test and a Kolmogorov–Smirnov test for the null hypothesis $E\left [Y|X^{*},Z^{*}\right ]=E\left [Y|X^{*}\right ]$ are proposed when only noisy measurements of $X^{*}$ and $Z^{*}$ are available. The asymptotic null distributions of the test statistics are derived, and a bootstrap method is implemented to obtain the…

测量误差下的平均导数估计AI 解读

In this paper, we derive the asymptotic properties of the density-weighted average derivative estimator when a regressor is contaminated with classical measurement error and the density of this error must be estimated. Average derivatives of conditional mean functions are used extensively in economics and statistics, most notably in semiparametric index models. As well as ordinary smooth measurement error, we provide results for supersmooth error distributions. This is a…
