因子结构的自适应残差检验AI 解读

This article addresses the critical issue of testing static approximate factor models against unspecified alternatives by proposing an adaptive residual-based test. Our methodology is versatile, encompassing alternatives such as factor models with nonlinear factor structures, conditional factor models, and factor models with structural breaks. We first establish the asymptotic properties of a so-called fixed bandwidth-based test, showing its asymptotic normality and power…

因子模型结构变化的稳健残差检验AI 解读

In this paper, we propose an easy-to-implement residual-based specification testing procedure for detecting structural changes in factor models, which is powerful against both smooth and abrupt structural changes with unknown break dates. The proposed test is robust to the over-specified number of factors, and serially and cross-sectionally correlated error processes. A new central limit theorem is given for the quadratic forms of panel data with dependence over both…

时变向量误差修正模型：估计与推断AI 解读

This paper considers a time-varying vector error-correction model that allows for different time series behaviors (e.g., unit-root and locally stationary processes) to interact with each other and co-exist. From a practical perspective, this framework can be used to estimate shifts in the predictability of non-stationary variables, and test whether economic theories hold periodically, etc. We first develop a time-varying Granger Representation Theorem, which facilitates the…

时变向量无限阶移动平均过程的渐近理论AI 解读

This paper introduces a new class of time-varying vector moving average processes of infinite order. These processes serve dual purposes: (1) they can be used to model time-varying dependence structures, and (2) they can be used to establish asymptotic theories for multivariate time series models. To illustrate these two points, we first establish some fundamental asymptotic properties and use them to infer the trending term of a vector moving average infinity process. We…

时变 VAR 模型的估计、推断与实证分析AI 解读

Vector autoregressive (VAR) models are widely used in practical studies, for example, forecasting, modeling policy transmission mechanism, and measuring connection of economic agents. To better capture the dynamics, this article introduces a new class of time-varying VAR models in which the coefficients and covariance matrix of the error innovations are allowed to change smoothly over time. Accordingly, we establish a set of asymptotic properties including the impulse…
