具有观测驱动动态因子载荷的闭式多因子 Copula 模型AI 解读

We develop new multi-factor dynamic copula models with time-varying factor loadings and observation-driven dynamics. The new models are highly flexible, scalable to high dimensions, and ensure positivity of covariance and correlation matrices. A closed-form likelihood expression allows for straightforward parameter estimation and likelihood inference. We apply the new model to a large panel of 100 U.S. stocks over the period 2001–2014. The proposed multi-factor structure is…

局部矩的广义跳跃回归AI 解读

We develop new high-frequency-based inference procedures for analyzing the relationship between jumps in instantaneous moments of stochastic processes. The estimation consists of two steps: the nonparametric determination of the jumps as differences in local averages, followed by a minimum-distance type estimation of the parameters of interest under general loss functions that include both least-square and more robust quantile regressions as special cases. The resulting…

分位数格兰杰因果性的度量AI 解读

We consider measures of Granger causality in quantiles, which detect and quantify both linear and nonlinear causal effects between random variables. The measures are based on nonparametric quantile regressions and defined as logarithmic functions of restricted and unrestricted expectations of quantile check loss functions. They can consistently be estimated by replacing the unknown expectations of check loss functions by their nonparametric kernel estimates. We derive a…

含噪声与异步数据的得分驱动条件相关模型：高频协方差动态应用AI 解读

The analysis of the intraday dynamics of covariances among high-frequency returns is challenging due to asynchronous trading and market microstructure noise. Both effects lead to significant data reduction and may severely affect the estimation of the covariances if traditional methods for low-frequency data are employed. We propose to model intraday log-prices through a multivariate local-level model with score-driven covariance matrices and to treat asynchronicity as a…

半参数 GARCH 模型的自适应推断AI 解读

This paper considers a semiparametric generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (S-GARCH) model. For this model, we first estimate the time-varying long run component for unconditional variance by the kernel estimator, and then estimate the non-time-varying parameters in GARCH-type short run component by the quasi maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE). We show that the QMLE is asymptotically normal with the parametric convergence rate. Next, we construct a…

宏观与金融不确定性及波动率的对冲AI 解读

We study the pricing of shocks to uncertainty and volatility using a wide-ranging set of options contracts covering a variety of different markets. If uncertainty shocks are viewed as bad by investors, they should carry negative risk premiums. Empirically, however, uncertainty risk premiums are positive in most markets. Instead, it is the realization of large shocks to fundamentals that has historically carried a negative premium. In other words, we find that the return…

有效买卖价差的测量偏误AI 解读

The effective bid-ask spread measured relative to the spread midpoint overstates the true effective bid-ask spread in markets with discrete prices and elastic liquidity demand. The average bias is 13%–18% for S&P 500 stocks in general, depending on the estimator used as benchmark, and up to 97% for low-priced stocks. Cross-sectional bias variation across stocks, trading venues, and investor groups can influence research inference. The use of the midpoint also undermines…

利用截断双幂增量估计跳跃扩散的波动率函数AI 解读

In this article, we introduce and analyze a new methodology to estimate the volatility functions of jump diffusion models. Our methodology relies on the standard kernel estimation technique using truncated bipower increments. The relevant asymptotics are fully developed, allowing for the time span to increase as well as the sampling interval to decrease, and accommodate both stationary and nonstationary recurrent processes. We evaluate the performance of our estimators by…

欧拉方程的非参数识别与估计AI 解读

We consider nonparametric identification and estimation of pricing kernels, or equivalently of marginal utility functions up to scale, in consumption-based asset pricing Euler equations. Ours is the first paper to prove nonparametric identification of Euler equations under low level conditions (without imposing functional restrictions or just assuming completeness). We also propose a novel nonparametric estimator based on our identification analysis, which combines standard…

半参数回归的统一推断AI 解读

Summary In the literature, a discrepancy in the limiting distributions of least square estimators between the stationary and nonstationary cases exists in various regression models with different persistence level regressors. This hinders further statistical inference since one has to decide which distribution should be used next. In this paper, we develop a semiparametric partially linear regression model with stationary and nonstationary regressors to attenuate this…

高阶随机波动率模型的简便估计与推断AI 解读

We study the problem of estimating higher-order stochastic volatility [SV(p)] models. Due to the difficulty of evaluating the likelihood function, this remains a challenging problem, even in the relatively simple SV(1) case. We propose simple moment-based winsorized ARMA-type estimators, which are computationally inexpensive and remarkably accurate. The proposed estimators do not require choosing a sampling algorithm, initial parameter values, or an auxiliary model. We show…

期权隐含状态价格密度的筛估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a nonparametric estimator for the state price density implied by a single cross-section of European options with different strikes and the same maturity. The proposed estimator has two distinctive features. First, it extracts information from both call and put options, as opposed to only call options. Second, it does not require estimating any second-order derivative; instead, it solves a constrained and penalized linear regression. The asymptotic…

非平稳随机波动率下的自助法AI 解读

In this paper we investigate to what extent the bootstrap can be applied to conditional mean models, such as regression or time series models, when the volatility of the innovations is random and possibly non-stationary. In fact, the volatility of many economic and financial time series displays persistent changes and possible non-stationarity. However, the theory of the bootstrap for such models has focused on deterministic changes of the unconditional variance and little…

具有良好尺寸与功效表现的简便股票收益可预测性检验AI 解读

We develop easy-to-implement tests for return predictability which, relative to extant tests in the literature, display attractive finite sample size control and power across a wide range of persistence and endogeneity levels for the predictor. Our approach is based on the standard regression t-ratio and a variant where the predictor is quasi-GLS (rather than OLS) demeaned. In the strongly persistent near-unit root environment, the limiting null distributions of these…

持久性经济系统中预测回归的有效推断AI 解读

This paper studies standard predictive regressions in economic systems governed by persistent vector autoregressive dynamics for the state variables. In particular, all – or a subset – of the variables may be fractionally integrated, which induces a spurious regression problem. We propose a new inference and testing procedure – the Local speCtruM (LCM) approach – for joint significance of the regressors, that is robust against the variables having different integration…

波动率估计的耦合理论AI 解读

This paper provides a strong approximation, or coupling, theory for spot volatility estimators formed using high-frequency data. We show that the t-statistic process associated with the nonparametric spot volatility estimator can be strongly approximated by a growing-dimensional vector of independent variables defined as functions of Brownian increments. We use this coupling theory to study the uniform inference for the volatility process in an infill asymptotic setting.…

国际个股收益中的因子与风险溢价AI 解读

We propose an estimation methodology tailored for large unbalanced panels of individual stock returns to study the factor structure and expected returns in international stock markets. We show that the local market is necessary to capture the factor structure in both developed and emerging markets. Neither the presence of multiple world or regional risk factors, systematic currency risk factors, nor a country-specific currency subsumes the importance of the local market…

具有因子结构的多任务分位数回归AI 解读

A multivariate quantile regression model with a factor structure is proposed to study data with multivariate responses with covariates. The factor structure is allowed to vary with the quantile levels, which is more flexible than the classical factor models. Assuming the number of factors is small, and the number of responses and the input variables are growing with the sample size, the model is estimated with the nuclear norm regularization. The incurred optimization…

一般波动率动态下积分波动率泛函的有效估计AI 解读

We provide an asymptotic theory for the estimation of a general class of smooth nonlinear integrated volatility functionals. Such functionals are broadly useful for measuring financial risk and estimating economic models using high-frequency transaction data. The theory is valid under general volatility dynamics, which accommodates both Itô semimartingales (e.g., jump-diffusions) and long-memory processes (e.g., fractional Brownian motions). We establish the semiparametric…

因子强度的测量：理论与实践AI 解读

Abstract This paper proposes an estimator of factor strength and establishes its consistency and asymptotic distribution. The estimator is based on the number of statistically significant factor loadings, taking multiple testing into account. Both cases of observed and unobserved factors are considered. The small sample properties of the proposed estimator are investigated using Monte Carlo experiments. It is shown that the proposed estimation and inference procedures…

允许条件异方差的多变量分数积分检验：收益波动率与成交量应用AI 解读

Summary We introduce a new joint test for the order of fractional integration of a multivariate fractionally integrated vector autoregressive (FIVAR) time series based on applying the Lagrange multiplier principle to a feasible generalised least squares estimate of the FIVAR model obtained under the null hypothesis. A key feature of the test we propose is that it is constructed using a heteroskedasticity‐robust estimate of the variance matrix. As a result, the test has a…

无套利先验、时变波动率与利率期限结构AI 解读

Abstract We use a Bayesian vector autoregression with stochastic volatility to forecast government bond yields. We form the conjugate prior from a no‐arbitrage affine term structure model. The model improves on the accuracy of point and density forecasts from a no‐change random walk and an affine term structure model with stochastic volatility. Our proposed approach may succeed by relaxing the no‐arbitrage affine term structure model's requirements that yields obey a factor…

尾部基尼泛函的极限与推断及尾部风险度量应用AI 解读

–Tail risk analysis focuses on the problem of risk measurement on the tail regions of financial variables. As one crucial task in tail risk analysis for risk management, the measurement of tail risk variability is less addressed in the literature. Neither the theoretical results nor inference methods are fully developed, which results in the difficulty of modeling implementation. Practitioners are then short of measurement methods to understand and evaluate tail risks, even…

连续时间半参数估计：小带宽与大带宽下积分波动率泛函的渐近理论AI 解读

This article studies the estimation of integrated volatility functionals, which is a semiparametric two-step estimation problem in the nonstationary continuous-time setting. We generalize the asymptotic normality results of Jacod and Rosenbaum to a wider range of bandwidths. Moreover, we employ matrix calculus to obtain a new analytical bias correction and variance estimation method. The proposed method gives more succinct expressions than the element-by-element analytical…
