不同频率预测的统计比较AI 解读

Current forecast evaluation tests can only assess forecasts generated at the same frequency. However, in real-world scenarios, predictions for the same economic variable may be made at different frequencies. The existing literature lacks statistical tests for evaluating such forecasts. This paper introduces a new evaluation test for comparing these forecasts. We propose a two-sample t-type test designed to test the equality of means between two potentially correlated time…

协变量增强的累积和泡沫监测程序AI 解读

We explore how information from covariates can be incorporated into the CUSUM-based real-time monitoring procedure for explosive asset price bubbles developed in Homm and Breitung (2012, Journal of Financial Econometrics 10, 198–231). Where dynamic covariates are present in the data generating process (DGP), the false positive rate (FPR) of the basic CUSUM procedure, which is based on the assumption that prices follow a univariate DGP, under the null of no explosivity will…

潜在不稳定环境中的平均预测精度相等检验AI 解读

We consider the issue of testing the null of equal average forecast accuracy in a model where the forecast error loss differential series has a potentially nonconstant mean function over time. We show that when time variation is present in the loss differential mean, the standard Diebold and Mariano test, which was proposed for evaluating forecasts in a stable environment, has an asymptotic size of zero, and, whilst consistent, can have reduced local power. This arises due…

异方差下的预测准确性相等检验AI 解读

Summary Heteroskedasticity is a common feature in empirical time series analysis, and in this paper, we consider the effects of heteroskedasticity on statistical tests for equal forecast accuracy. In such a context, we propose two new Diebold–Mariano‐type tests for equal accuracy that employ nonparametric estimation of the loss differential variance function. We demonstrate that these tests have the potential to achieve power improvements relative to the original…

非平稳波动率下的自适应协整检验AI 解读

This article develops a class of adaptive cointegration tests for multivariate time series with nonstationary volatility. Persistent changes in the innovation variance matrix of a vector autoregressive model lead to size distortions in conventional cointegration tests, which may be resolved using the wild bootstrap, as shown in recent work by Cavaliere, Rahbek, and Taylor. We show that it also leads to the possibility of constructing tests with higher power, by taking the…

确定性时变波动率下爆炸性金融泡沫的符号单位根检验AI 解读

This article considers the problem of testing for an explosive bubble in financial data in the presence of time-varying volatility. We propose a sign-based variant of the Phillips, Shi, and Yu (2015, International Economic Review 56, 1043–1077) test. Unlike the original test, the sign-based test does not require bootstrap-type methods to control size in the presence of time-varying volatility. Under a locally explosive alternative, the sign-based test delivers higher power…

基于波动率密度的随机波动率模型非参数设定检验AI 解读

This paper develops a specification test for stochastic volatility models by comparing the nonparametric kernel deconvolution density estimator of an integrated volatility density with its parametric counterpart. L2 distance is used to measure the discrepancy. The asymptotic null distributions of the test statistics are established and the asymptotic power functions are computed. Through Monte Carlo simulations, the size and power properties of the test statistics are…

利用高频金融数据估计瞬时波动率AI 解读

We construct a spot volatility estimator for high-frequency financial data which contain market microstructure noise. We prove consistency and derive the asymptotic distribution of the estimator. A data-driven method is proposed to select the scale parameter and the bandwidth parameter in the estimator. In Monte Carlo simulations, we compare the finite sample performance of our estimator with some existing estimators. Empirical examples are given to illustrate the potential…
