Information theoretic approach to high‐dimensional multiplicative models: Stochastic discount factor and treatment effect
高维乘法模型的信息论方法:随机贴现因子与处理效应
This paper is concerned with estimation of functionals of a latent weight function that satisfies possibly high‐dimensional multiplicative moment conditions. Main examples are functionals of stochastic discount factors in asset pricing, missing data problems, and treatment effects. We propose to estimate the latent weight function by an information theoretic approach combined with the ℓ 1 ‐penalization technique to deal with high‐dimensional moment conditions under sparsity.…
