长周期的建模与推断AI 解读

Recurrent boom-and-bust cycles are a salient feature of economic and financial history. Cycles found in the data are stochastic, often highly persistent, and span substantial fractions of the sample size. We refer to such cycles as “long”. In this paper, we develop a novel approach to modeling cyclical behavior specifically designed to capture long cycles. We show that existing inferential procedures may produce misleading results in the presence of long cycles and propose a…

误设校准模型的比较：最小距离方法AI 解读

This paper proposes several testing procedures for comparison of misspecified calibrated models. The proposed tests are of the Vuong-type (Vuong, 1989; Rivers and Vuong, 2002). In our framework, the econometrician selects values for model’s parameters in order to match some characteristics of data with those implied by the theoretical model. We assume that all competing models are misspecified, and suggest a test for the null hypothesis that they provide equivalent fit to…

非线性、非平稳性与伪预测AI 解读

Implications of nonlinearity, nonstationarity and misspeci...cation are considered from a forecasting perspective. My model allows for small departures from the martingale di¤erence sequence hypothesis by including a nonlinear component, formulated as a general, integrable transformation of the I(1) predictor. I assume that the true generating mechanism is unknown to the econometrician and he is therefore forced to use some approximating functions. I show that the linear…
