确定近似因子模型中的因子数AI 解读

In this paper we develop some econometric theory for factor models of large dimensions. The focus is the determination of the number of factors (r), which is an unresolved issue in the rapidly growing literature on multifactor models. We first establish the convergence rate for the factor estimates that will allow for consistent estimation of r. We then propose some panel criteria and show that the number of factors can be consistently estimated using the criteria. The…

日度汇率传递的信息AI 解读

Formal testing procedures confirm the presence of a unit root in the autoregressive ploynomial of the univariate time series representation of daily exchange-rate data. the first differences of the logarithms of daily spot rates are approximately uncorrelated through time, and a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model with daily dummy variables and conditionally t-distributed errors is found to provide a good representation to the leptokurtosis and…

含 I(1) 过程的回归中的参数不稳定检验AI 解读

This article derives the large-sample distributions of Lagrange multiplier (LM) tests for parameter instability against several alternatives of interest in the context of cointegrated regression models. The fully modified estimator of Phillips and Hansen is extended to cover general models with stochastic and deterministic trends. The test statistics considered include the SupF test of Quandt, as well as the LM tests of Nyblom and of Nabeya and Tanaka. It is found that the…

自回归过程差分阶数的确定AI 解读

One way of handling nonstationarity in time series is to compute first differences and fit a model to the differenced series unless the differenced series also looks nonstationary. In that case, second- or higher-order differencing is done. To decide if the current degree of differencing is sufficient, one can look at the autocorrelation function for slow decay. A formal statistical test for the need to difference further is available if one is willing to assume that at most…

预测准确性的比较AI 解读

We propose and evaluate explicit tests of the null hypothesis of no difference in the accuracy of two competing forecasts. In contrast to previously developed tests, a wide variety of accuracy measures can be used (in particular, the loss of function need not be quadratic and need not even be symmetric), and forecast errors can be non-Gaussian, nonzero mean, serially correlated, and contemporaneously correlated. Asymptotic and exact finite-sample tests are proposed,…

向量自回归与现实AI 解读

This article questions the statistical significance of variance decompositions and impulse response functions for unrestricted vector auto regressions. It suggests that previous authors have failed to provide confidence intervals for variance decompositions and impulse response functions. Two methods of computing such confidence intervals are developed: first, using a normal approximation; second, using bootstrapped resampling. An example from Sims's work is used to…

经济时间序列季节调整涉及的问题AI 解读

In the first part of this article, we briefly review the history of seasonal adjustment and statistical time series analysis in order to understand why seasonal adjustment methods have evolved into their present form. This review provides insight into some of the problems that must be addressed by seasonal adjustment procedures and points out that advances in modern time series analysis raise the question of whether seasonal adjustment should be performed at all. This in…

大崩盘、石油价格冲击与单位根假说的进一步证据AI 解读

Perron (1989) has carried out tests of the unit root hypothesis against the alternative hypothesis of trend stationarity with a break in the trend occurring at the Great Crash of 1929 or at the 1973 oil price shock. Here a variation of Perron's test is considered in which the break point is estimated rather than fixed. The asymptotic distribution of the "estimated break point" test statistic is determined and the data considered by Perron are reanalyzed. The authors find…

单位根检验AI 解读

Recent work by Said and Dickey (1984, 1985), Phillips (1987), and Phillips and Perron (1988) examines tests for unit roots in the autoregressive part of mixed autoregressive integrated moving average models (tests for stationarity). Monte Carlo experiments show that these unit-root tests have different finite-sample distributions from the unit-root tests developed by Fuller (1976) and Dickey and Fuller (1979, 1981) for autoregressive processes. In particular, the tests…

领先指标究竟领先什么AI 解读

Abstract We propose an optimal filter to transform the Conference Board Composite Leading Index (CLI) into recession probabilities in the US economy. We also analyse the CLI's accuracy at anticipating US output growth. We compare the predictive performance of linear, VAR extensions of smooth transition regression and switching regimes, probit, non‐parametric models and conclude that a combination of the switching regimes and non‐parametric forecasts is the best strategy at…

周期图平滑窗口选择的简便广义交叉验证方法AI 解读

A consistent estimator for the spectral density of a stationary random process can be obtained by smoothing the periodograms across frequency. An important component of smoothing is the choice of the span. Lee (1997) proposed a span selector that was erroneously claimed to be unbiased for the mean squared error. The naive use of mean squared error has some important drawbacks in this context because the variance of the periodogram depends on its mean, i.e. the spectrum. We…

条件异方差下部分非平稳多元自回归模型的估计AI 解读

This paper investigates a partially nonstationary multivariate autoregressive model, which allows its innovations to be generated by a multivariate ARCH, autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic, process. Three estimators, including the least squares estimator, a full‐rank maximum likelihood estimator and a reduced‐rank maximum likelihood estimator, are considered and their asymptotic distributions are derived. When the multivariate ARCH process reduces to the innovation…

渐消加权区块自助法AI 解读

We introduce and study tapered block bootstrap methodology that yields an improvement over the well‐known block bootstrap for time series of Künsch (1989). The asymptotic validity and the favourable bias properties of the tapered block bootstrap are shown. The important practical issues of optimally choosing the window shape and the block size are addressed in detail, while some finite‐sample simulations are presented validating the good performance of the tapered block…

长程相依的贝叶斯半参数推断AI 解读

We develop a Bayesian semiparametric procedure for the analysis of stationary long‐range dependent time series. We use frequency domain methods to partition the infinite‐dimensional parameter space into regions where genuine prior information on the form of the spectral density is available, and others where vague prior beliefs are adopted; the solution to the partition problem, which is equivalent to bandwidth choice from a frequentist point of view, is obtained via Bayes…

短期利率连续时间模型的高斯估计方法AI 解读

This paper proposes a Gaussian estimator for nonlinear continuous time models of the short-term interest rate. The approach is based on a stopping time argument that produces a normalizing transformation facilitating the use of a Gaussian likelihood. A Monte Carlo study shows that the finite-sample performance of the proposed procedure offers an improvement over the discrete approximation method proposed by Nowman (1997). An em-pirical application to US and British interest…

The properties of a range of maximum eigenvalue and trace tests for the cointegrating rank of a vector autoregressive process are compared. The tests are all likelihood ratio-type tests and operate under different assumptions regarding the deterministic part of the data generation process. The asymptotic distributions under local alternatives are given and the local power is derived. It is found that the local power of corresponding maximum eigenvalue and trace tests is very…

AR(1) 单位根检验 t 比率的极限分布AI 解读

We consider the limiting distribution of the t -statistic for testing the random walk hypothesis in the classical Gaussian AR(1) model. Abadir (1995, Econometric Theory, 11, 775�793) derived the first derives a closed (i.e. integration-free) expression for the limit-ing distribution function. This paper derives an alternative closed expression. Abadir�s and the new expression are valid only for negative arguments and each involve two infinite summa-tions. To enable a…

无需向量自回归的简易协整秩检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a fully nonparametric test for cointegrating rank which does not require estimation of a vector autoregressive model. The test exploits the fact that the degeneracy in the moment matrix of the variables with mixed integration order corresponds to the notion of cointegration. With an appropriate standardization, the test statistics are shown to have a nuisance parameter free limiting distribution and to be consistent under reasonable conditions. Monte…

利用MCMC对时间相关数据进行多元受体建模AI 解读

Multivariate receptor modeling aims to estimate pollution source profiles and the amounts of pollution based on a series of ambient concentrations of multiple chemical species over time. Air pollution data often show temporal dependence due to meteorology and/or background sources. Previous approaches to receptor modeling do not incorporate this dependence. We model dependence in the data using a time series approach so that we can incorporate extra sources of variability in…

根接近一的趋势时间序列之似然推断AI 解读

This paper studies likelihood-based estimation and tests for autoregressive time series models with deterministic trends and general disturbance distributions. In particular, a joint estimation of the trend coefficients and the autoregressive parameter is considered. Asymptotic analysis on the M -estimators is provided. It is shown that the limiting distributions of these estimators involve nonlinear equation systems of Brownian motions even for the simple case of least…

利用小波进行 ARCH 效应的单侧检验AI 解读

There has been increasing interest recently in hypothesis testing with inequality restrictions. An important example in time series econometrics is hypotheses on autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH). We propose a one-sided test for ARCH effects using a wavelet spectral density estimator at frequency zero of a squared regression residual series. The square of an ARCH process is positively correlated at all lags, resulting in a spectral mode at frequency zero.…

广义动态因子模型：表示理论AI 解读

This paper, along with the companion paper Forni, Hallin, Lippi, and Reichlin (2000, Review of Economics and Statistics 82, 540–554), introduces a new model—the generalized dynamic factor model —for the empirical analysis of financial and macroeconomic data sets characterized by a large number of observations both cross section and over time. This model provides a generalization of the static approximate factor model of Chamberlain (1983, Econometrica 51, 1181–1304) and…
