高维面板数据模型的稳健估计与推断AI 解读

This paper provides the relevant literature with a complete toolkit for conducting robust estimation and inference about the parameters of interest involved in a high-dimensional panel data framework. Specifically, (1) we allow for non-Gaussian, serially and cross-sectionally correlated and heteroskedastic error processes, (2) we develop an estimation method for the high-dimensional long-run covariance matrix using a thresholded estimator, (3) we also allow for the number of…

时变向量自回归的模型平均AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel time-varying model averaging (TVMA) approach to enhancing forecast accuracy for multivariate time series subject to structural changes. The TVMA method averages predictions from a set of time-varying vector autoregressive models using optimal time-varying combination weights selected by minimizing a penalized local criterion. This allows the relative importance of different models to adaptively evolve over time in response to structural shifts. We…

气候敏感度是否因地区而异？变系数方法AI 解读

Global mean surface temperature has been increasing in response to growing greenhouse gas concentrations (IPCC, 2021). While Earth is getting warmer overall, regions that have different local geographical features experience unequal increases in temperature. In this paper, we develop a varying-coefficient dynamic panel data model and use it to measure local climate sensitivity, defined as the increase in temperature in a given location following a doubling of CO2…

通过特征值分析识别高维时间序列结构AI 解读

Cross-sectional structures and temporal tendency are important features of high-dimensional time series. Based on eigen-analysis on sample covariance matrices, we propose a novel approach to identifying four popular structures of high-dimensional time series, which are grouped in terms of factor structures and stationarity. The proposed three-step method includes a ratio statistic of empirical eigenvalues;a projected Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test;a new unit-root test based on…

时变向量误差修正模型：估计与推断AI 解读

This paper considers a time-varying vector error-correction model that allows for different time series behaviors (e.g., unit-root and locally stationary processes) to interact with each other and co-exist. From a practical perspective, this framework can be used to estimate shifts in the predictability of non-stationary variables, and test whether economic theories hold periodically, etc. We first develop a time-varying Granger Representation Theorem, which facilitates the…

时变向量无限阶移动平均过程的渐近理论AI 解读

This paper introduces a new class of time-varying vector moving average processes of infinite order. These processes serve dual purposes: (1) they can be used to model time-varying dependence structures, and (2) they can be used to establish asymptotic theories for multivariate time series models. To illustrate these two points, we first establish some fundamental asymptotic properties and use them to infer the trending term of a vector moving average infinity process. We…

面板数据模型的高阶展开与统计推断AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a simple inferential method for a wide class of panel data models with a focus on such cases that have both serial correlation and cross-sectional dependence. In order to establish an asymptotic theory to support the inferential method, we develop some new and useful higher-order expansions, such as Berry-Esseen bound and Edgeworth Expansion, under a set of simple and general conditions. We further demonstrate the usefulness of these theoretical…

高维面板数据模型的 GMM 估计AI 解读

In this paper, we study a class of high dimensional moment restriction panel data models with interactive effects, where the factors are unobserved and these factor loadings are nonparametrically unknown smooth functions of individual characteristic variables. We allow the dimension of the parameter vector and the number of moment conditions to diverge with the sample size. This is a very general framework and is closely related to many existing linear and nonlinear panel…

时变 VAR 模型的估计、推断与实证分析AI 解读

Vector autoregressive (VAR) models are widely used in practical studies, for example, forecasting, modeling policy transmission mechanism, and measuring connection of economic agents. To better capture the dynamics, this article introduces a new class of time-varying VAR models in which the coefficients and covariance matrix of the error innovations are allowed to change smoothly over time. Accordingly, we establish a set of asymptotic properties including the impulse…

以平稳与非平稳混合因子预测非平稳时间序列AI 解读

We develop a method for constructing prediction intervals for a nonstationary variable, such as GDP. The method uses a Factor Augmented Regression (FAR) model. The predictors in the model include a small number of factors generated to extract most of the information in a set of panel data on a large number of macroeconomic variables that are considered to be potential predictors. The novelty of this article is that it provides a method and justification for a mixture of…

含协整解释变量的半参数单指数预测回归AI 解读

This paper considers the estimation of a semi-parametric single-index regression model that allows for nonlinear predictive relationships. This model is useful for predicting financial asset returns, whose observed behaviour resembles a stationary process, if the multiple nonstationary predictors are cointegrated. The presence of cointegrated regressors imposes a single-index structure in the model, and this structure not only balances the nonstationarity properties of the…

含交互固定效应的异质面板二元响应模型AI 解读

In this paper, we investigate binary response models for heterogeneous panel data with interactive fixed effects by allowing both the cross-sectional dimension and the temporal dimension to diverge. From a practical point of view, the proposed framework can be applied to predict the probability of corporate failure, conduct credit rating analysis, etc. Theoretically and methodologically, we build a link between a maximum likelihood estimation and a least squares approach,…

针对高维局部备择序列的最强检验AI 解读

We develop a powerful quadratic test for the overall significance of many covariates in a dense regression model in the presence of nuisance parameters. By equally weighting the sample moments, the test is asymptotically correct in high dimensions even when the number of coefficients is larger than the sample size. Our theory allows a non-parametric error distribution and weakly exogenous nuisance variables, in particular autoregressors in many applications. Using random…

高维半参数矩约束模型AI 解读

We consider nonlinear moment restriction semiparametric models where both the dimension of the parameter vector and the number of restrictions are divergent with sample size and an unknown smooth function is involved. We propose an estimation method based on the sieve generalized method of moments (sieve-GMM). We establish consistency and asymptotic normality for the estimated quantities when the number of parameters increases modestly with sample size. We also consider the…

含固定效应与时变系数的半参数空间自回归面板模型AI 解读

This article considers a semiparametric spatial autoregressive (SAR) panel data model with fixed effects and time-varying coefficients. The time-varying coefficients are allowed to follow unknown functions of time, while the other parameters are assumed to be unknown constants. We propose a local linear quasi-maximum likelihood estimation method to obtain consistent estimators for the SAR coefficient, the variance of the error term, and the nonparametric time-varying…

全球气温与温室气体：共同特征方法AI 解读

We propose a common features approach for testing for common trends and estimating long-run relationships between variables with complex trends. Using this approach, we establish that global temperatures and the concentration of greenhouse gases share a common trend and we estimate their long-run relationship without conditioning on the exact nature of this trend.

董朝华、高继挺与 Oliver Linton 对《广义线性模型参数的弱假设推断》的讨论AI 解读

The title of this paper is ironically self-fulfilling, since there are almost no meaningful assumptions made throughout! The starting point is that we have some plausible semi-parametric model, which is a special case of a more general non-parametric model, but we wish to allow for misspecification and in particular define an estimand that is meaningful in the non-parametric model and that specialises in the plausible model to a slope coefficient. However, since the…

经济增长建模的综合面板数据方法AI 解读

Empirical growth analysis is plagued with three problems – variable selection, parameter heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence – which are addressed independently from each other in most studies. This study is to propose an integrated framework that allows for parameter heterogeneity and cross-sectional error dependence, while simultaneously performing variable selection. We derive the asymptotic properties of the estimator, and apply the framework to a dataset of 89…

大型面板数据模型的递归估计：理论与实践AI 解读

Bai (2009) proposes recursive estimation for panel data models with interactive effects. We study the behaviours of this recursive estimator. The recursive formula is established that shows the behaviours of recursive estimators depend on the initial estimator, the population structure and the iterative steps. Under some general scenarios, we find that the recursive estimator becomes consistent after the first iteration from any initials. We also obtain the optimal number of…

具有非平稳性与部分可观测因子结构的变系数面板数据模型AI 解读

In this article, we study a varying-coefficient panel data model with both nonstationarity and partially observed factor structure. Two approaches are proposed. The first approach proposed in the main text considers a sieve based method to estimate the unknown coefficients as well as the factors and loading functions simultaneously, while the second approach proposed in the online supplementary document involving the principal component analysis provides an alternative…

半参数分位数因子模型的估计与推断AI 解读

We consider a semiparametric quantile factor panel model that allows observed stock-specific characteristics to affect stock returns in a nonlinear time-varying way, extending Connor, Hagmann, and Linton (2012) to the quantile restriction case. We propose a sieve-based estimation methodology that is easy to implement. We provide tools for inference that are robust to the existence of moments and to the form of weak cross-sectional dependence in the idiosyncratic error term.…

具有横截面依赖的异质面板数据模型AI 解读

This paper considers a semiparametric panel data model with heterogeneous coefficients and individual-specific trending functions, where the random errors are assumed to be serially correlated and cross-sectionally dependent. We propose mean group estimators for the coefficients and trending functions involved in the model. It can be shown that the proposed estimators can achieve an asymptotic consistency with rates of root−NT and root−NTh, respectively as (N,T)→(∞,∞), where…

时变系数协整回归的核方法推断AI 解读

This paper studies nonlinear cointegrating models with time-varying coefficients and multiple nonstationary regressors using classic kernel smoothing methods to estimate the coefficient functions. Extending earlier work on nonstationary kernel regression to take account of practical features of the data, we allow the regressors to be cointegrated and to embody a mixture of stochastic and deterministic trends, complications which result in asymptotic degeneracy of the…

含全局幂律趋势与局部非参数趋势的半参数模型推断AI 解读

We consider a model with both a parametric global trend and a nonparametric local trend. This model may be of interest in a number of applications in economics, finance, ecology, and geology. We first propose two hypothesis tests to detect whether two nested special cases are appropriate. For the case where both null hypotheses are rejected, we propose an estimation method to capture certain aspects of the time trend. We establish consistency and some distribution theory in…
