Identifying latent factors based on high-frequency data
基于高频数据识别潜在因子
This paper tests whether the continuous component of an observable candidate factor is in the space spanned by the counterparts of latent common factors with high-frequency financial data. We introduce two identification strategies corresponding to two types of regressions: the regressions of intraday asset returns on the estimated factors and the candidate, and the regression of the candidate factor on the estimated ones. We construct the test statistics by adding…
