高维线性回归中大量零约束的检验AI 解读

We propose a test of many zero parameter restrictions in a high dimensional linear iid regression model with k ≫ n regressors. The test statistic is formed by estimating key parameters one at a time based on many low dimension regression models with nuisance terms. The parsimoniously parameterized models identify whether the original parameter of interest is or is not zero. Estimating fixed low dimension sub-parameters ensures greater estimator accuracy, it does not require…

用于一致模型设定检验的弱识别稳健野生自助法AI 解读

We present a new robust bootstrap method for a test when there is a nuisance parameter under the alternative, and some parameters are possibly weakly or nonidentified. We focus on a Bierens (1990, Econometrica 58, 1443–1458)-type conditional moment test of omitted nonlinearity for convenience. Existing methods include the supremum p -value which promotes a conservative test that is generally not consistent, and test statistic transforms like the supremum and average for…

回归模型大量零约束的检验及混频格兰杰因果应用AI 解读

This paper proposes a new test for a large set of zero restrictions in regression models based on a seemingly overlooked, but simple, dimension reduction technique. The procedure involves multiple parsimonious regression models where key regressors are split across simple regressions. Each parsimonious regression model has one key regressor and other regressors not associated with the null hypothesis. The test is based on the maximum of the squared parameters of the key…

弱依赖时间序列的最大相关白噪声检验AI 解读

This article presents a bootstrapped p -value white noise test based on the maximum correlation, for a time series that may be weakly dependent under the null hypothesis. The time series may be prefiltered residuals. The test statistic is a normalized weighted maximum sample correlation coefficient $ \max _{1\leq h\leq \mathcal {L}_{n}}\sqrt {n}|\hat {\omega }_{n}(h)\hat {\rho }_{n}(h)|$ , where $\hat {\omega }_{n}(h)$ are weights and the maximum lag $ \mathcal {L}_{n}$ incre…

对低频污染稳健的参数估计AI 解读

We provide methods to robustly estimate the parameters of stationary ergodic short-memory time series models in the potential presence of additive low-frequency contamination. The types of contamination covered include level shifts (changes in mean) and monotone or smooth time trends, both of which have been shown to bias parameter estimates toward regions of persistence in a variety of contexts. The estimators presented here minimize trimmed frequency domain quasi-maximum…

混频数据的格兰杰因果检验AI 解读

We develop Granger causality tests that apply directly to data sampled at different frequencies. We show that taking advantage of mixed frequency data allows us to better recover causal relationships when compared to the conventional common low frequency approach. We also show that the new causality tests have higher local asymptotic power as well as more power in finite samples compared to conventional tests. In an empirical application involving U.S. macroeconomic…

重尾GARCH模型的GEL估计与稳健经验似然推断AI 解读

We construct a Generalized Empirical Likelihood estimator for a GARCH(1, 1) model with a possibly heavy tailed error. The estimator imbeds tail-trimmed estimating equations allowing for over-identifying conditions, asymptotic normality, efficiency and empirical likelihood based confidence regions for very heavy-tailed random volatility data. We show the implied probabilities from the tail-trimmed Continuously Updated Estimator elevate weight for usable large values, assign…

厚尾稳健的波动率溢出得分与综合检验AI 解读

This paper presents a variety of tests of volatility spillover that are robust to heavy tails generated by large errors or GARCH-type feedback. The tests are couched in a general conditional heteroskedasticity framework with idiosyncratic shocks that are only required to have a finite variance if they are independent. We negligibly trim test equations, or components of the equations, and construct heavy tail robust score and portmanteau statistics. Trimming is either simple…

第一价格拍卖是否存在共同价值？基于尾部指数的非参数检验AI 解读

We develop a consistent nonparametric test of common values in first-price auctions and apply it to British Columbia Timber Sales data. The test is based on the behavior of the CDF of bids near the reserve price. We show that the curvature of the CDF is drastically different under private values (PV) and common values (CV). We then show that the problem of discriminating between PV and CV is equivalent to estimating the lower tail index of the bid distribution. Our approach…

重尾时间序列的矩条件检验AI 解读

We develop an asymptotically chi-squared statistic for testing moment conditions E[mt(θ0)]=0, where mt(θ0) may be weakly dependent, scalar components of mt(θ0) may have an infinite variance, and E[mt(θ)] need not exist for any θ under the alternative. Score tests are a natural application, and in general a variety of tests can be heavy-tail robustified by our method, including white noise, GARCH affects, omitted variables, distribution, functional form, causation, volatility…

尾部与非尾部记忆：极值及稳健统计的应用AI 解读

New notions of tail and nontail dependence are used to characterize separately extremal and nonextremal information, including tail log-exceedances and events, and tail-trimmed levels. We prove that near epoch dependence (McLeish, 1975; Gallant and White, 1988) and L 0 -approximability (Pötscher and Prucha, 1991) are equivalent for tail events and tail-trimmed levels, ensuring a Gaussian central limit theory for important extreme value and robust statistics under general…

依赖且异质数据的尾指数估计AI 解读

In this paper we analyze the asymptotic properties of the popular distribution tail index estimator by Hill (1975) for dependent, heterogeneous processes. We develop new extremal dependence measures that characterize a massive array of linear, nonlinear, and conditional volatility processes with long or short memory. We prove that the Hill estimator is weakly and uniformly weakly consistent for processes with extremes that form mixingale sequences and asymptotically normal…

三变量 VAR 过程长期因果关系的有效检验：货币—收入关系的滚动窗口研究AI 解读

Abstract This paper develops a simple sequential multiple‐horizon non‐causation test strategy for trivariate VAR models (with one auxiliary variable). We apply the test strategy to a rolling window study of money supply and real income, with the price of oil, the unemployment rate and the spread between the Treasury bill and commercial paper rates as auxiliary processes. Ours is the first study to control simultaneously for common stochastic trends, sensitivity of test…
