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…

具有动态异质溢出的矩阵值空间自回归AI 解读

We introduce a new time-varying parameter spatial matrix autoregressive model that integrates matrix-valued time series, heterogeneous spillover effects, outlier robustness, and time-varying parameters in one unified framework. The model allows for separate dynamic spatial spillover effects across both the row and column dimensions of the matrix-valued observations. Robustness can be introduced via a matrix Student’s t distribution. The model can still be estimated…

基于离散傅里叶变换检验交互固定效应面板模型的结构变化AI 解读

We propose a discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based test for detecting structural changes in panel data models with interactive fixed effects (IFE). When structural changes are present but ignored, the conventional asymptotic distribution of the least squares (LS) estimator of Bai (2009) may no longer provide reliable inference, and the resulting residuals contain signals of parameter instability. Our test exploits this feature by comparing the DFT of weighted residuals to…

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…

无效代理变量与波动率变化AI 解读

When in proxy-SVARs the covariance matrix of VAR disturbances is subject to exogenous, permanent breaks that cause IRFs to change across volatility regimes, even strong, exogenous external instruments yield inconsistent estimates of the dynamic causal effects. However, if these volatility shifts are properly incorporated into the analysis through (testable) "stability restrictions", we demonstrate that the target IRFs are point-identified and can be estimated consistently…

利用混合整数规划检测时间序列变点AI 解读

We use cutting-edge mixed integer optimization (MIO) methods to develop a framework for detection and estimation of structural breaks in time series regression models. The framework is constructed based on the least squares problem subject to a penalty on the number of breakpoints. We restate the l0-penalized regression problem as a quadratic programming problem with integer- and real-valued arguments and show that MIO is capable of finding provably optimal solutions using a…

跨时间平滑方差：自适应随机波动率AI 解读

We introduce a novel Bayesian framework for estimating time-varying volatility by extending the Random Walk Stochastic Volatility (RWSV) model with Dynamic Shrinkage Processes (DSP) in log-variances. Unlike the classical Stochastic Volatility (SV) or GARCH-type models with restrictive parametric stationarity assumptions, our proposed Adaptive Stochastic Volatility (ASV) model provides smooth yet dynamically adaptive estimates of evolving volatility and its uncertainty. We…

区分宏观数据因子模型中的结构断点AI 解读

We develop a projection-based decomposition to disentangle structural breaks in the factor variance and factor loadings. Our approach yields test statistics that can be compared against standard distributions commonly used in the structural break literature. Because standard methods for estimating factor models in macroeconomics normalize the factor variance, they do not distinguish between breaks of the factor variance and factor loadings. Applying our procedure to U.S.…

基于条件异方差识别日度油价冲击及其不确定性AI 解读

This paper develops a daily structural VAR for identifying oil price shocks from conditional heteroskedasticity and quantifies the transmission of their timevarying uncertainty. Identification exploits volatility clustering and spillovers in a structural GARCH specification and the complete identified set is derived. We derive covariance impulse response functions and introduce a time-varying forecast error variance decomposition (TV-FEVD) that allows for a decomposition of…

分解加成率的上升AI 解读

A recent literature argues that the rise in aggregate markups is due to economic activity reallocating toward high-markup firms rather than an increase in firmlevel markups. I show that standard decomposition methods used to analyze this phenomenon can estimate a non-zero reallocation effect even when the joint distribution of markups and market shares is time-invariant. This is due to churning in the firm-level distribution of markups and market shares. Empirically, I find…

有限状态马尔可夫链近似：一种隐马尔可夫方法AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel finite-state Markov chain approximation method for Markov processes with continuous support, providing both an optimal grid and a transition probability matrix. The method can be used for multivariate processes and processes with time-varying components. It is based on minimizing the information loss between a Hidden Markov Model and the true data-generating process. We provide sufficient conditions under which this information loss can be made…

用非线性因子扩展贝叶斯 VAR 的灵活方法AI 解读

This paper proposes a vector autoregression augmented with nonlinear factors that are modeled nonparametrically using regression trees. There are four main advantages of our model. First, modeling potential nonlinearities nonparametrically lessens the risk of misspecification. Second, the use of factor methods ensures that departures from linearity are modeled parsimoniously. In particular, they exhibit functional pooling where a small number of nonlinear factors are used to…

用于变点检测的在线核 CUSUM 方法AI 解读

Abstract We present a computationally efficient online kernel Cumulative Sum method for change-point detection that utilizes the maximum over a set of kernel statistics to account for the unknown change-point location. Our approach exhibits increased sensitivity to small changes compared to existing kernel-based change-point detection methods, including the Scan-B statistic, corresponding to a non-parametric Shewhart chart-type procedure. We provide accurate analytic…

ART：具有有限样本保证的分布无关、模型无关变点检测AI 解读

Abstract We introduce ART, a distribution-free and model-agnostic framework for changepoint analysis with finite-sample guarantees. ART transforms independent observations into real-valued scores via a symmetric function; under the null hypothesis of no changepoint these scores are exchangeable. Ranking and aggregating the scores yields test statistics whose null distribution is known exactly from the permutation law of ranks, enabling exact finite-sample Type I error…

高维因子模型中多个结构断点的分类与估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimator for break points in high-dimensional factor models, specifically accounting for multiple structural breaks. We begin by establishing a necessary and sufficient condition to categorize two distinct types of breaks in factor loadings: singular changes and rotational changes. The analysis of the nearly singular subsample covariance matrices of the pseudo-factors plays a key role in our approach. It allows us to…

时变向量自回归的模型平均AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel time-varying model averaging (TVMA) approach to enhancing forecast accuracy for multivariate time series subject to structural changes. The TVMA method averages predictions from a set of time-varying vector autoregressive models using optimal time-varying combination weights selected by minimizing a penalized local criterion. This allows the relative importance of different models to adaptively evolve over time in response to structural shifts. We…

资源丰富经济体的财政政策状态AI 解读

ABSTRACT We analyse fiscal policy in resource‐rich economies using a novel Bayesian regime‐switching panel model. The identified regimes capture pro‐ or countercyclical fiscal behaviour by allowing regime‐specific shifts in the average fiscal stance, while the switches between the regimes have the interpretation of changes in fiscal policy. Applying the model to a panel of sixteen oil‐producing economies, we show that fiscal policy has alternated between a procyclical and…

利用中心对称核进行谱密度估计中的短滞后差分AI 解读

Summary Mean-robust estimation of spectral density and long-run variance is crucial for many statistical inference procedures. However, existing methods often degrade when serially dependent data exhibit volatile, time-varying trends, or sudden jumps, particularly in small samples. While differencing and kernel averaging are standard tools for achieving mean robustness and consistency, they are not inherently compatible. Combining them can compromise optimality.…

平滑结构变化下 FAVAR 模型的时变模型平均AI 解读

Factor-augmented vector autoregressive (FAVAR) models serve as a powerful tool for forecasting economic and financial variables, particularly in environments with a large number of predictors. In this study, we propose a time-varying model-averaging method for FAVAR (TVMA-FAVAR) that accommodates smooth structural changes. To estimate the optimal time-varying combination weights, we develop a local leave-one-out cross-validation (LLOCV) criterion that is asymptotically…

阈值空间由直线划分的广义多元阈值自回归模型AI 解读

We consider a k-dimensional multiple-regime vector threshold autoregressive model, in which the regime-switching mechanism is governed by a bivariate threshold variable. Specifically, the regimes are induced by a partition of the threshold space by an unknown number of threshold lines. Within each regime, the process follows a specific vector autoregressive (VAR) model. We formulate the model selection and parameter estimation into a minimization problem based on the Minimum…

不预设平稳性的 GARCH(1,1) 过程变化检测AI 解读

This article develops a new test to detect changes in generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroscedastic (GARCH(1,1)) processes without imposing a stationary assumption. Specifically, the procedure tests the null hypothesis of a GARCH process with constant parameters, either in (strictly) stationary or explosive regimes, against the alternative hypothesis of parameter changes. We derive the limiting distribution of the test statistics and establish their asymptotic…

时间序列不确定性量化的高阶近似AI 解读

For time series with high temporal correlation, the empirical process converges rather slowly to its limiting distribution. Many statistics in change-point analysis, goodness-of-fit testing, and uncertainty quantification admit a representation as functionals of the empirical process and therefore inherit its slow convergence. As a result, inference based on the asymptotic distribution of those quantities is significantly affected by relatively small sample sizes. We assess…

基于保序回归的结构变化检验AI 解读

Detecting structural changes in economic relationships has been a longstanding challenge in econometrics. Most of the literature on structural breaks has considered abrupt structural breaks. Existing tests for detecting smooth structural change typically rely on kernel estimation. In this article, we introduce a novel tuning-parameter-free test that minimizes a criterion function over all possible nondecreasing or nonincreasing structural change functions. This test is…
