Nonstationarity in time series of state densities
状态密度时间序列的非平稳性
This paper proposes a new framework to analyze the nonstationarity in the time series of state densities, representing either cross-sectional or intra-period distributions of some underlying economic variables. We regard each state density as a realization of Hilbertian random variable, and use a functional time series model to fit a given time series of state densities. This allows us to explore various sources of the nonstationarity of such time series. The potential unit…
