STABILITY OF LINEAR MODELS UNDER TEMPORAL AGGREGATION
时间聚合下线性模型的稳定性
Linear factor models dominate the field of empirical asset pricing and are largely considered a successful framework even though testing for model adequacy is uncommon in empirical research. This article develops a probabilistic argument under the assumption that return data are generated by a multivariate Lévy process and shows that linear factor models are asymptotically adequate as the return frequency declines. Rate-of-convergence results are provided assuming finite or…
