非平稳波动环境下股票收益可预测性的实时监测AI 解读

Stock return predictability, should it exist, is likely to be episodic in nature. In order to exploit such pockets of predictability it is essential that they are rapidly detected, in real-time, as the nascent predictive regime emerges. This will typically entail the repeated (sequential) application of one-shot end-of-sample predictability statistics, updated as new data become available. Consequently, in addition to dealing with the usual inference problems caused by…

资产定价因子模型检验：样本外视角AI 解读

We develop the Sample Splitting Alpha (SSA) test, a formal out-of-sample (OOS) test for evaluating whether an asset pricing factor model satisfies the zero-alpha restriction in high-dimensional settings. The test uses sample splitting to separate portfolio weight estimation from model evaluation and ridge regularization to stabilize the portfolio problem when the number of test assets is large. We show that each single split SSA statistic is asymptotically Gaussian under…

高维线性因子定价模型的 Lq 范数 alpha 检验AI 解读

We consider testing zero pricing errors in high-dimensional linear factor pricing models. Existing methods are mainly based on either an $L_2$ statistic, which is effective under dense alternatives, or an $L_\infty$ statistic, which is powerful under very sparse alternatives. To bridge these two regimes, we develop a class of $L_q$-based tests for finite $q$, including the practically useful $L_4$ and $L_6$ cases. We show that larger $q$ leads to greater sensitivity to…

高维矩阵值时间序列的时空自回归模型AI 解读

Motivated by predicting intraday trading volume curves, we consider two spatio-temporal autoregressive models for matrix time series, in which each column may represent daily trading volume curve of one asset, and each row captures synchronized 5-minute volume intervals acrossmultiple assets. While traditional matrix time series focus mainly on temporal evolution, our approach incorporates both spatial and temporal dynamics, enabling simultaneous analysis of interactions…

时变可预测性的稳健推断：Sieve-IVX 方法AI 解读

Predictive regression models are often used to evaluate the predictive capability of economic fundamentals on bond and equity returns. Inferential procedures in these regressions typically employ parameter constancy or piecewise constancy in slope coefficients. Such formulations are prone to misspecification, more especially during periods of disturbance or evolution in prevailing economic and financial conditions, which can lead to size distortion and spurious evidence of…

动态系统性风险测度的多元推断AI 解读

This paper provides statistical inference for marginal expected shortfall (MES) and delta conditional value-at-risk (ΔCoVaR) measures, which are semiparametrically estimated by a two-step procedure in a multivariate GARCH-type framework. We establish the asymptotic properties of corresponding estimators and illustrate how the estimation uncertainty can be decomposed into dynamic univariate marginal and time-varying dependence components. Our methodology reveals good finite…

识别失败与模型设定正确性的协调检验AI 解读

We develop a specification test for GMM and Minimum Distance (MD) inference that is: (i) robust to weak identification; (ii) easy to implement and broadly applicable; and (iii) has meaningful power. Our specification test is based on a conditional inference approach: information about the existence of strongly identified directions in the parameter space is exploited to define a data-dependent critical value, which, in turn, increases the power of the resulting specification…

用于企业生存预测的高维删失 MIDAS 逻辑回归AI 解读

This paper addresses the challenge of forecasting corporate distress, a problem marked by three key statistical hurdles: (i) right censoring, (ii) high-dimensional predictors, and (iii) mixed-frequency data. To overcome these complexities, we introduce a novel high-dimensional censored MIDAS (Mixed Data Sampling) logistic regression. Our approach handles censoring through inverse probability weighting and achieves accurate estimation with numerous mixed-frequency predictors…

检验两个短面板中的共同潜在因子AI 解读

This paper develops inference tools for the number of common latent factors across two large cross-sectional panels observed over a short time span (large n, small T). Our approach builds on a general test for determining the dimension of the intersection of two matrix column spaces, where each matrix is estimated with noise. The proposed test statistics are based on canonical correlations, and their asymptotic distributions are derived via perturbation methods. An empirical…

共同基金 alpha 的异质可预测性：稀疏聚类 GMM 方法AI 解读

Mutual fund managers' skills, measured by risk-adjusted alphas, are predictable using fund characteristics identified by machine learning (e.g., Kaniel et al., 2023, JFE; DeMiguel et al., 2023, JFE). However, alpha's predictive power varies across funds and periods, with most funds exhibiting negligible alphas. To model this heterogeneous predictability, this paper introduces Sparse Clustering GMM, a nonparametric approach for uncovering latent fund groups. SCGMM clusters…

两步分位数回归中 CoVaR 推断的渐近理论AI 解读

Measuring systemic risk has been an important topic in recent research on risk management. Adrian and Brunnermeier (2016) pioneered the CoVaR measure for systemic risk, which is defined as the conditional quantile of system loss given some state predictors and one stress event of an individual loss at a certain risk level. They proposed to estimate CoVaR by a two-quantile-regression approach, which is simple and easy to implement in practice, but without stating or…

由因果 GARCH 波动驱动的非因果自回归过程AI 解读

This paper studies the introduction of causal conditional heteroskedasticity in noncausal autoregressive (AR) models. We demonstrate that, in this framework, large shocks to the innovation process driving the GARCH error term of a noncausal AR model result in heightened volatility immediately before and after a bubble crash. The non-coincidence of the σ-fields generated by past observations and past values of the GARCH process makes statistical inference nonstandard. In…

状态空间模型的粒子 MCMC 与相关粒子混合采样器AI 解读

Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo (PMCMC) is a powerful approach to Bayesian computation for general state space models. Our article enables PMCMC to handle a larger number of observations and parameters compared to previous approaches by generating the parameters that are highly correlated with the states in a pseudo-marginal step(s) with the states ‘integrated out’; the rest of the parameters are generated conditional on the states. We make the pseudo-marginal step much…

基于个体特征的分位数因子模型估计AI 解读

This paper studies the estimation of characteristics-based quantile factor models where the factor loadings are unknown functions of observed individual characteristics, and the idiosyncratic error terms are subject to conditional quantile restrictions. We propose a three-stage estimation procedure that is easy to implement and has nice properties. The convergence rates, the limiting distributions of the estimated factors and loading functions, plus a consistent selection…

非对称风险下的宏观审慎政策：贝叶斯结构分位数 VAR 方法AI 解读

Macro-prudential policymakers face a risk-management problem: they must assess medium-term downside risks to the real economy stemming from financial imbalances and the associated threat of future financial crises, while accounting for the cost of policy interventions in terms of foregone upside potential. This trade-off between limiting downside risks and preserving upside growth is inherently asymmetric and depends on the distribution of future macroeconomic outcomes. We…

基于方差分解检验高频网络连通性的差异AI 解读

We develop a Bayesian Wald-type test for detecting temporal differences in connectedness from variance decompositions, and establish the asymptotic normality of impulse response functions and variance decomposition matrices at fixed local time points. The resulting test statistic is asymptotically χ 2 distributed under the null hypothesis and performs well in Monte Carlo simulations. Applying our methodology to high-frequency options data on sectoral exchange-traded funds…

动态状态空间 HAR 模型AI 解读

The Heterogeneous AutoRegressive model for the logs of Realised Volatility (HARL) has established itself as the benchmark specification for modelling and forecasting return volatility, owing to its parsimony and ability to capture the strong persistence typically observed in RV. To address potential concerns such as measurement errors, nonlinearities, and non-spherical residuals, numerous variants of the baseline HARL model have been developed in the literature. This paper…

非随机缺失数据下的共同基金绩效贝叶斯评估：中国市场应用AI 解读

This paper studies mutual fund performance evaluation, where non-random missing data is an important issue. Ignoring sample selection issues can lead to biased parameter estimates and invalid performance evaluation. Therefore, we propose a novel Beta selection model to characterize this non-random missingness mechanism. We can significantly reduce the bias in alpha estimates, by introducing our Beta selection mechanism into the Noise-Reduced Alpha (NRA) model of Harvey and…

结构突变、模型不确定性与因子选择AI 解读

This paper addresses the non-standard problem of detecting multiple structural breaks when the data-generating model in each regime is uncertain, with an application to factor selection in empirical asset pricing. Detection is based on the marginal likelihood of break points, obtained by a novel integration over all possible pairings of models across regimes, from all possible models within regimes. The optimal break points maximize this marginal likelihood. Applying this…

股票收益横截面中的模型不确定性AI 解读

We develop a transparent Bayesian framework to measure uncertainty in asset pricing models. By assigning a modified class of g-priors to the risk prices of asset pricing factors, our method quantifies the trade-off between mean–variance efficiency and parsimony for asset pricing models to achieve high posterior probabilities. Model uncertainty is defined as the entropy of these model probabilities. We prove the model selection consistency property of our procedure, which is…

随机波动率入均值模型：广义混合采样器的高效分析AI 解读

In this paper we consider the simulation-based Bayesian analysis of stochastic volatility in mean (SVM) models. Extending the highly efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo mixture sampler for the SV model proposed in Kim et al. (1998) and Omori et al. (2007), we develop an accurate approximation of the logarithm of the non-central chi-squared distribution as a mixture of thirty normal distributions . Under this mixture representation, we sample the parameters and latent…

利用混频数据改进密度预测：贝叶斯方法AI 解读

We construct a modeling framework that allows for the flexible contribution of intraday information to predict the conditional distribution of asset returns. A flexible spline specification is proposed to capture the contribution of intraday returns inside GARCH and stochastic volatility specifications for daily returns. The “focused Bayesian” prediction framework is adopted to allow the intraday contribution to the simpler GARCH specification to be trained according to the…

短面板中的潜在因子分析AI 解读

We develop a pseudo maximum likelihood method for latent factor analysis in short panels without imposing sphericity nor Gaussianity. We derive an asymptotically uniformly most powerful invariant test for the number of factors. On a large panel of monthly U.S. stock returns, we separate month after month systematic and idiosyncratic risks in short subperiods of bear vs. bull market. We observe an uptrend in the paths of total and idiosyncratic volatilities. The systematic…

多交易场所资产的积分方差估计AI 解读

In this paper, we show that the availability of multiple price series for the same asset can be exploited to estimate its integrated variance. We use a vector error correction model for those prices and its common trend representation to estimate the efficient price of the asset. Because the estimated efficient price satisfies the martingale property, we can then compute the sum of its squared intra-day returns to obtain an unbiased and efficient realized variance estimator.…
