Multivariate partial adjustment of financial ratios: a Bayesian hierarchical approach
财务比率的多变量部分调整:贝叶斯层级方法
Abstract In this paper we propose a multivariate extension of the partial adjustment model of financial ratios. To that end, we use a dynamic factor model which assumes that financial ratios measuring, essentially, the same economic–financial dimension of the firm evolve in a similar way, reflecting the evolution of the common factor. The proposed model is hierarchical with three levels. The first describes the relationship between each ratio and its common factor; the…
