Power enhancement for testing multi-factor asset pricing models via Fisher’s method
利用 Fisher 方法增强多因子资产定价模型检验功效
Testing multi-factor asset pricing models is instrumental for asset pricing theory and practice. However, due to the accumulation of errors in estimating high-dimensional parameters, traditional quadratic-form tests such as the Wald test perform poorly against the sparse alternative hypothesis, i.e., a few mispriced assets. Fan et al. (2015b) introduced a powerful testing procedure by adding a power enhancement component to the Wald test statistic and proved power…
