Inferring the Predictability Induced by a Persistent Regressor in a Predictive Threshold Model
持久预测变量驱动的阈值模型:可预测性推断
We develop tests for detecting possibly episodic predictability induced by a persistent predictor. Our framework is that of a predictive regression model with threshold effects and our goal is to develop operational and easily implementable inferences when one does not wish to impose à priori restrictions on the parameters of the model other than the slopes corresponding to the persistent predictor. Differently put our tests for the null hypothesis of no predictability…
