局部单位根回归的自加权估计及应用AI 解读

A new self-weighted (SW) least squares (LS) estimation approach is developed for local unit root (LUR) autoregression with conditionally heteroskedastic innovations. Asymptotically controlled trimming of the most extreme observations in LS regression is shown to lead to mixed Gaussian limit theory and studentization produces standard normality free of the unknown LUR parameter. The estimator is super consistent with a convergence rate slightly below the O P ( n ) $O_P(n)$ upp…

函数系数回归与气候敏感性分析的新渐近理论AI 解读

A general asymptotic theory is established for sample cross moments of nonstationary time series, allowing for long-range dependence and local unit roots. The theory provides a substantial extension of earlier results on nonparametric regression that include near-cointegrated nonparametric regression as well as spurious nonparametric regression. Many new models are covered by the limit theory, among which are functional coefficient regressions in which both regressors and…

非平稳时间序列非线性泛函的一般极限理论AI 解读

New limit theory is provided for a wide class of sample variance and covariance functionals involving both nonstationary and stationary time series. Sample functionals of this type commonly appear in regression applications and the asymptotics are particularly relevant to estimation and inference in nonlinear nonstationary regressions that involve unit root, local unit root, or fractional processes. The limit theory is unusually general in that it covers both parametric and…

空间自回归模型中的异方差稳健设定检验AI 解读

Spatial autoregressive (SAR) and related models offer flexible yet parsimonious ways to model spatial and network interactions. SAR specifications typically rely on a particular parametric functional form and an exogenous choice of the so-called spatial weight matrix with only limited guidance from theory in making these specifications. Also, the choice of a SAR model over other alternatives, such as spatial Durbin (SD) or spatial lagged X (SLX) models, is often arbitrary,…

非线性趋势结果的政策评价：美国新冠疫苗接种率AI 解读

ABSTRACT This paper discusses pitfalls in two way fixed effects (TWFE) regressions when the outcome variables contain nonlinear and possibly stochastic trend components. If a policy change shifts trend paths of outcome variables, TWFE estimation can distort results and invalidate inference, especially in a context of evolving policy decisions. A robust solution is proposed by allowing for dynamic club membership empirically using a relative convergence test procedure. The…

提升式 Hodrick–Prescott 滤波器的适用范围拓展AI 解读

Summary The global financial crisis and Covid‐19 recession have renewed discussion concerning trend‐cycle discovery in macroeconomic data, and boosting has recently upgraded the popular Hodrick‐Prescott filter to a modern machine learning device suited to data‐rich and rapid computational environments. This paper extends boosting's trend determination capability to higher order integrated processes and time series with roots that are local to unity. The theory is established…

内生门槛回归的新控制函数方法AI 解读

This paper studies control function (CF) approaches in endogenous threshold regression where the threshold variable is allowed to be endogenous. We first use a simple example to show that the structural threshold regression (STR) estimator of the threshold point in Kourtellos, Stengos and Tan (2016, Econometric Theory 32, 827–860) is inconsistent unless the endogeneity level of the threshold variable is low compared to the threshold effect. We correct the CF in the STR…

配对随机实验中分位数处理效应的自助推断AI 解读

Abstract This paper examines methods of inference concerning quantile treatment effects (QTEs) in randomized experiments with matched-pairs designs (MPDs). Standard multiplier bootstrap inference fails to capture the negative dependence of observations within each pair and is therefore conservative. Analytical inference involves estimating multiple functional quantities that require several tuning parameters. Instead, this paper proposes two bootstrap methods that can…

非线性协整回归的最优带宽选择AI 解读

We study optimal bandwidth selection in nonparametric cointegrating regression where the regressor is a stochastic trend process driven by short or long memory innovations. Unlike stationary regression, the optimal bandwidth is found to be a random sequence which depends on the sojourn time of the process. All random sequences $h_{n}$ that lie within a wide band of rates as the sample size $n\rightarrow \infty $ have the property that local level and local linear kernel…

局部平坦函数系数回归的极限理论AI 解读

Functional coefficient (FC) regressions allow for systematic flexibility in the responsiveness of a dependent variable to movements in the regressors, making them attractive in applications where marginal effects may depend on covariates. Such models are commonly estimated by local kernel regression methods. This paper explores situations where responsiveness to covariates is locally flat or fixed. The paper develops new asymptotics that take account of shape characteristics…

白噪声与互相关的稳健检验AI 解读

Commonly used tests to assess evidence for the absence of autocorrelation in a univariate time series or serial cross-correlation between time series rely on procedures whose validity holds for i.i.d. data. When the series are not i.i.d., the size of correlogram and cumulative Ljung–Box tests can be significantly distorted. This paper adapts standard correlogram and portmanteau tests to accommodate hidden dependence and nonstationarities involving heteroskedasticity, thereby…

面板数据模型中的同质分组识别：理论与应用AI 解读

Summary This paper studies the estimation of a panel data model with latent structures where individuals can be classified into different groups with the slope parameters being homogeneous within the same group but heterogeneous across groups. To identify the unknown group structure of vector parameters, we design an algorithm called Panel‐CARDS. We show that it can identify the true group structure asymptotically and estimate the model parameters consistently at the same…

基于最小距离的实用 Kolmogorov–Smirnov 检验：韩国顶端收入份额的应用AI 解读

We study Kolmogorov–Smirnov goodness-of-fit tests for evaluating distributional hypotheses where unknown parameters need to be fitted. Following the work of Pollard (1980), our approach uses a Cramér–von Mises minimum distance estimator for parameter estimation. The asymptotic null distribution of the resulting test statistic is represented by invariance principle arguments as a functional of a Brownian bridge in a simple regression format for which asymptotic critical…

近单位根动态面板中的 Anderson–Hsiao 估计AI 解读

Limit theory is developed for the dynamic panel IV estimator in the presence of an autoregressive root near unity. In the unit root case, Anderson–Hsiao lagged variable instruments satisfy orthogonality conditions but are well known to be irrelevant. For a fixed time series sample size ( T ) IV is inconsistent and approaches a shifted Cauchy-distributed random variate as the cross-section sample size n → ∞. But when T → ∞, either for fixed n or as n → ∞, IV is $\sqrt T$ consi…

利用解释变量幂变换序贯检验多项式模型假设AI 解读

Summary We provide a methodology for testing a polynomial model hypothesis by generalizing the approach and results of Baek, Cho, and Phillips ( Journal of Econometrics , 2015, 187 , 376–384; BCP), which test for neglected nonlinearity using power transforms of regressors against arbitrary nonlinearity. We use the BCP quasi‐likelihood ratio test and deal with the new multifold identification problem that arises under the null of the polynomial model. The approach leads to…

空间自回归中的间接推断AI 解读

Ordinary least‐squares (OLS) is well known to produce an inconsistent estimator of the spatial parameter in pure spatial autoregression (SAR). In this paper, we explore the potential of indirect inference to correct the inconsistency of OLS. Under broad conditions, it is shown that indirect inference (II) based on OLS produces consistent and asymptotically normal estimates in pure SAR regression. The II estimator used here is robust to departures from normal disturbances and…

非平稳非参数回归中核加权样本协方差的一致收敛AI 解读

We obtain uniform consistency results for kernel-weighted sample covariances in a nonstationary multiple regression framework that allows for both fixed design and random design coefficient variation. In the fixed design case these nonparametric sample covariances have different uniform asymptotic rates depending on direction, a result that differs fundamentally from the random design and stationary cases. The uniform asymptotic rates derived exceed the corresponding rates…

存在内生性与长记忆的非参数协整回归AI 解读

This paper explores nonparametric estimation, inference, and specification testing in a nonlinear cointegrating regression model where the structural equation errors are serially dependent and where the regressor is endogenous and may be driven by long memory innovations. Generalizing earlier results of Wang and Phillips (2009a,b, Econometric Theory 25, 710–738, Econometrica 77, 1901–1948), the conventional nonparametric local level kernel estimator is shown to be consistent…

面板数据中潜在分组结构的识别AI 解读

This paper provides a novel mechanism for identifying and estimating latent group structures in panel data using penalized techniques. We consider both linear and nonlinear models where the regression coefficients are heterogeneous across groups but homogeneous within a group and the group membership is unknown. Two approaches are considered—penalized profile likelihood (PPL) estimation for the general nonlinear models without endogenous regressors, and penalized GMM (PGMM)…

向量误差修正模型的自动化估计AI 解读

Model selection and associated issues of post-model selection inference present well known challenges in empirical econometric research. These modeling issues are manifest in all applied work but they are particularly acute in multivariate time series settings such as cointegrated systems where multiple interconnected decisions can materially affect the form of the model and its interpretation. In cointegrated system modeling, empirical estimation typically proceeds in a…

鞅假设检验AI 解读

We propose new tests of the martingale hypothesis based on generalized versions of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Cramér–von Mises tests. The tests are distribution-free and allow for a weak drift in the null model. The methods do not require either smoothing parameters or bootstrap resampling for their implementation and so are well suited to practical work. The article develops limit theory for the tests under the null and shows that the tests are consistent against a wide…

误差序列相关下的点最优面板单位根检验AI 解读

Generalizations of the point‐optimal panel unit root tests of Moon, Perron and Phillips (MPP) are developed to cover cases of serially correlated errors. The resulting statistics involve two modifications relative to those of MPP: (a) the error variance is replaced by the long‐run variance; (b) centring of the statistic is adjusted to correct for second‐order bias effects induced by the correlation between the error and lagged dependent variable.

X 差分与动态面板模型估计AI 解读

This paper introduces a new estimation method for dynamic panel models with fixed effects and AR( p ) idiosyncratic errors. The proposed estimator uses a novel form of systematic differencing, called X-differencing, that eliminates fixed effects and retains information and signal strength in cases where there is a root at or near unity. The resulting “panel fully aggregated” estimator (PFAE) is obtained by pooled least squares on the system of X-differenced equations. The…
