结构突变与汇率波动率 GARCH 模型：重新检验与扩展AI 解读

Summary We examine the empirical significance of structural changes concerning generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models of exchange rate volatility using out‐of‐sample tests by replicating and carrying out robustness checks on the volatility forecasting study by Rapach and Strauss (Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2008; 23, 65–90). We employ the same econometric models but incorporate recent US dollar daily exchange rates data while also using…

预测分位数回归中的统计推断AI 解读

This paper studies inference in predictive quantile regressions when the predictive regressor has a near-unit root. We derive asymptotic distributions for the quantile regression estimator and its heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) t -statistic in terms of functionals of Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes. We then propose a switching-fully modified (FM) predictive test for quantile predictability. The proposed test employs an FM style correction with a…

状态空间模型的分块相关伪边际采样器AI 解读

Pseudo Marginal Metropolis-Hastings (PMMH) is a general approach to Bayesian inference when the likelihood is intractable, but can be estimated unbiasedly.Our article develops an efficient PMMH method that scales up better to higher dimensional state vectors than previous approaches.The improvement is achieved by the following innovations.First, a novel block version of PMMH that works with multiple particle filters is proposed.Second, the trimmed mean of the unbiased…

分位数预测最优性检验AI 解读

Quantile forecasts made across multiple horizons have become an important output of many financial institutions, central banks and international organisations. This paper proposes misspecification tests for such quantile forecasts that assess optimality over a set of multiple forecast horizons and/or quantiles. The tests build on multiple Mincer-Zarnowitz quantile regressions cast in a moment equality framework. Our main test is for the null hypothesis of autocalibration, a…

动态已实现最小方差投资组合模型AI 解读

This article introduces a dynamic minimum variance portfolio (MVP) model using nonlinear volatility dynamic models, based on high-frequency financial data. Specifically, we impose an autoregressive dynamic structure on MVP processes, which helps capture the MVP dynamics directly. To evaluate the dynamic MVP model, we estimate the inverse volatility matrix using the constrained l1-minimization for inverse matrix estimation (CLIME) and calculate daily realized non-normalized…

高维资产条件因子模型中 alpha 的自适应检验AI 解读

This article focuses on testing for the presence of alpha in time-varying factor pricing models, specifically when the number of securities N is larger than the time dimension of the return series T. We introduce a maximum-type test that performs well in scenarios where the alternative hypothesis is sparse. We establish the limit null distribution of the proposed maximum-type test statistic and demonstrate its asymptotic independence from the sum-type test statistics…

非共同结构断点AI 解读

We develop a new Bayesian approach to estimate noncommon structural breaks in panel regression models. Any subset of the cross-section may be hit at different times within a break window. Break-specific parameters are learned from the cross-section. They reflect whether (i) breaks hit many or few series and (ii) there is a long or short lag between the first and final series hit by a break. In an empirical application to international stock return predictability, the method…

非高斯结构向量自回归模型的设定检验AI 解读

We propose specification tests for independent component analysis and structural vector autoregressions that assess the cross-sectional independence of non-Gaussian shocks by comparing their joint cumulative distribution with the product of their marginals at both discrete and continuous grids of argument values, the latter yielding a consistent test. We explicitly consider the sampling variability from computing the shocks using consistent estimators. We study the finite…

美国银行间流动性风险网络的情景分位数连通性AI 解读

We characterize the U.S. interbank liquidity risk network based on a supervisory dataset, using a scenario-based quantile network connectedness approach. In terms of methodology, we consider a quantile vector autoregressive model with unobserved heterogeneity and propose a Bayesian nuclear norm estimation method. A common factor structure is employed to deal with unobserved heterogeneity that may exhibit endogeneity within the network. Then we develop a scenario-based…

粗糙波动率的统计推断：极小极大理论AI 解读

In recent years, rough volatility models have gained considerable attention in quantitative finance. In this paradigm, the stochastic volatility of the price of an asset has quantitative properties similar to that of a fractional Brownian motion with small Hurst index H<1/2. In this work, we provide the first rigorous statistical analysis of the problem of estimating H from historical observations of the underlying asset. We establish minimax lower bounds and design optimal…

利用特征函数线性状态空间表示估计期权定价模型AI 解读

We develop a novel filtering and estimation procedure for parametric option pricing models driven by general affine jump-diffusions. Our procedure is based on the comparison between an option-implied, model-free representation of the conditional log-characteristic function and the model-implied conditional log-characteristic function, which is functionally affine in the model's state vector. We formally derive an associated linear state space representation and the…

尾指数与极端分位数的一致置信区间AI 解读

This paper presents two results concerning uniform confidence intervals for the tail index and the extreme quantile. First, we show that there exists a lower bound of the length for confidence intervals that satisfy the correct uniform coverage over a nonparametric family of tail distributions. Second, in light of the impossibility result, we construct honest confidence intervals that are uniformly valid by incorporating the worst-case bias in the nonparametric family. The…

高维面板数据模型的 GMM 估计AI 解读

In this paper, we study a class of high dimensional moment restriction panel data models with interactive effects, where the factors are unobserved and these factor loadings are nonparametrically unknown smooth functions of individual characteristic variables. We allow the dimension of the parameter vector and the number of moment conditions to diverge with the sample size. This is a very general framework and is closely related to many existing linear and nonlinear panel…

点过程的局部无界强度模型AI 解读

We develop a model for point processes on the real line, where the intensity can be locally unbounded without inducing an explosion. In contrast to an orderly point process, for which the probability of observing more than one event over a short time interval is negligible, the bursting intensity causes an extreme clustering of events around the singularity. We propose a nonparametric approach to detect such bursts in the intensity. It relies on a heavy traffic condition,…

含动态潜在因子的小维度 VAR 模型中的工具变量推断AI 解读

We study semiparametric inference in a small-dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) model of order p augmented by unobservable common factors with a dynamic described by a VAR process of order q . This state-space specification is useful to measure separately the direct causality effects and the responses to dynamic common factors. We show that the state-space parameters are identifiable from the autocovariance function of the observed process. We estimate the model by…

指数已实现 GARCH–Itô 波动率模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a novel Itô diffusion process to model high-frequency financial data that can accommodate low-frequency volatility dynamics by embedding the discrete-time nonlinear exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) structure with log-integrated volatility in a continuous instantaneous volatility process. The key feature of the proposed model is that, unlike existing GARCH-Itô models, the instantaneous volatility process has a…

应对意外：经济增长的压力情景AI 解读

Summary We propose the construction of conditional growth densities under stressed factor scenarios to assess the level of exposure of an economy to small probability but potentially catastrophic economic and/or financial scenarios, which can be either domestic or international. The choice of severe yet plausible stress scenarios is based on the joint probability distribution of the underlying factors driving growth, which are extracted with a multilevel dynamic factor model…

分布预测评分规则对缩放和测量误差的敏感性AI 解读

Summary This paper examines the impact of data rescaling and measurement error on scoring rules for distribution forecast. First, I show that all commonly used scoring rules for distribution forecasts are robust to rescaling the data. Second, the forecast ranking based on the continuous ranked probability score is less sensitive to gross measurement error than the ranking based on the log score. The theoretical results are complemented by a simulation study aligned with…

利用多元收益识别和预测牛熊市场AI 解读

Summary Bull and bear market identification generally focuses on a broad index of returns through a univariate analysis. This paper proposes a new approach to identify and forecast bull and bear markets through multivariate returns. The model assumes that all assets are directed by a common discrete state variable from a hierarchical Markov switching model. The hierarchical specification allows the cross‐section of state‐specific means and variances to differ over bull and…

解读 K 线：即时波动率的 OK 估计量AI 解读

Abstract We propose an Optimal candlesticK (OK) estimator for the spot volatility using high-frequency candlestick observations. Under a standard infill asymptotic setting, we show that the OK estimator is asymptotically unbiased and has minimal asymptotic variance within a class of linear estimators. Its estimation error can be coupled by a Brownian functional, which permits valid inference. Our theoretical and numerical results suggest that the proposed candlestick-based…

波动率发现的计量分析AI 解读

We investigate information processing in the stochastic process driving stock's volatility (volatility discovery).We apply fractionally cointegration techniques to decompose the estimates of the market-specific integrated variances into an estimate of the common integrated variance of the efficient price and a transitory component.The market weights on the common integrated variance of the efficient price are the volatility discovery measures.We relate the volatility…

债券收益率利差的跳跃检验AI 解读

This article studies high-frequency econometric methods to test for a jump in the spread of bond yields. We propose a coherent inference procedure that detects a jump in the yield spread only if at least one of the two underlying bonds displays a jump. Ignoring this inherent connection by basing inference only on a univariate jump test applied to the spread tends to overestimate the number of jumps in yield spreads and puts the coherence of test results at risk. We formalize…

极端事件建模：时变极端尾部形状AI 解读

We propose a dynamic semiparametric framework to study time variation in tail parameters.The framework builds on the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for modeling peaks over thresholds as in Extreme Value Theory, but casts the model in a conditional framework to allow for time-variation in the tail parameters.We establish parameter regions for stationarity and ergodicity and for the existence of (unconditional) moments and consider conditions for consistency and…

历史模拟预期损失模型的高功效回测AI 解读

Since 2016, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has regulated banks to switch from a Value-at-Risk (VaR) to an Expected Shortfall (ES) approach to measuring the market risk and calculating the capital requirement. In the transition from VaR to ES, the major challenge faced by financial institutions is the lack of simple but powerful tools for evaluating ES forecasts (i.e., backtesting ES). This article first shows that the unconditional backtest is inconsistent in…
