动态面板同期相关的异方差稳健 Breusch–Pagan 检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a heteroskedasticity-robust Breusch–Pagan test of the null hypothesis of zero cross-section (or contemporaneous) correlation in linear panel data models, without necessarily assuming independence of the cross-sections. The procedure allows for either fixed, strictly exogenous and/or lagged dependent regressor variables, as well as quite general forms of both non-normality and heteroskedasticity in the error distribution. The asymptotic validity of the…

含高阶单整变量的联立协整方程系统识别条件AI 解读

This paper discusses identification of systems of simultaneous cointegrating equations with integrated variables of order two or higher, under constraints on the cointegration parameters. Rank and order conditions for identification are provided for general linear constraints, covering both cross-equation and equation-by-equation restrictions.

含估计因子的嵌套模型等预测精度检验AI 解读

In this paper we develop asymptotics for tests of equal predictive ability between nested models when factor-augmented regressions are used to forecast. We provide conditions under which the estimation of the factors does not affect the asymptotic distributions developed in Clark and McCracken (2001) and McCracken (2007). This enables researchers to use the existing tabulated critical values when conducting inference despite the presence of estimated predictors. As an…

用预滤波筛自助法修正半参数长记忆估计偏差AI 解读

This paper investigates bootstrap-based bias correction of semiparametric estimators of the long memory parameter, d , in fractionally integrated processes. The re-sampling method involves the application of the sieve bootstrap to data prefiltered by a preliminary semiparametric estimate of the long memory parameter. Theoretical justification for using the bootstrap technique to bias adjust log periodogram and semiparametric local Whittle estimators of the memory parameter…

未知异方差下的自适应长记忆检验AI 解读

This paper considers adaptive hypothesis testing for the fractional differencing parameter in a parametric ARFIMA model with unconditional heteroskedasticity of unknown form. A weighted score test based on a nonparametric variance estimator is proposed and shown to be asymptotically equivalent, under the null and local alternatives, to the Neyman-Rao effective score test constructed under Gaussianity and known variance process. The proposed test is therefore asymptotically…

离散观测下有限参数连续时间模型的识别限制AI 解读

This paper revisits the question of parameter identification when a linear continuous time model is sampled only at equispaced points in time. Following the framework and assumptions of Phillips (1973), we consider models characterized by first-order, linear systems of stochastic differential equations and use a priori restrictions on the model parameters as identifying restrictions. A practical rank condition is derived to test whether any particular collection of at least $\left\lfloor {n/2} \right\rfloor$…

MIDAS 模型的密度预测AI 解读

We propose a parametric block wild bootstrap approach to compute density forecasts for various types of mixed-data sampling (MIDAS) regressions. First, Monte Carlo simulations show that predictive densities for the various MIDAS models derived from the block wild bootstrap approach are more accurate in terms of coverage rates than predictive densities derived from either a residual-based bootstrap approach or by drawing errors from a normal distribution. This result holds…

马尔可夫转换 VAR 模型的格兰杰因果与状态推断：贝叶斯方法AI 解读

In this paper, we derive restrictions for Granger noncausality in MS-VAR models and show under what conditions a variable does not affect the forecast of the hidden Markov process. To assess the noncausality hypotheses, we apply Bayesian inference. The computational tools include a novel block Metropolis–Hastings sampling algorithm for the estimation of the underlying models. We analyze a system of monthly US data on money and income. The results of testing in MS-VARs…

未知形式异方差下分数阶时间序列的准极大似然与 bootstrap 推断AI 解读

We consider the problem of conducting estimation and inference on the parameters of univariate heteroskedastic fractionally integrated time series models. We first extend existing results in the literature, developed for conditional sum-of-squares estimators in the context of parametric fractional time series models driven by conditionally homoskedastic shocks, to allow for conditional and unconditional heteroskedasticity both of a quite general and unknown form. Global…

时变因子模型的估计与检验AI 解读

Conventional factor models assume that factor loadings are fixed over a long horizon of time, which appears overly restrictive and unrealistic in applications. In this paper, we introduce a time-varying factor model where factor loadings are allowed to change smoothly over time. We propose a local version of the principal component method to estimate the latent factors and time-varying factor loadings simultaneously. We establish the limiting distributions and uniform…

贝叶斯多变量函数型动态线性模型AI 解读

We present a Bayesian approach for modeling multivariate, dependent functional data. To account for the three dominant structural features in the data—functional, time dependent, and multivariate components—we extend hierarchical dynamic linear models for multivariate time series to the functional data setting. We also develop Bayesian spline theory in a more general constrained optimization framework. The proposed methods identify a time-invariant functional basis for the…

基于序模式依赖的结构突变检验AI 解读

We propose new concepts to analyze and model the dependence structure between two time series. Our methods rely exclusively on the order structure of the data points. Hence, the methods are stable under monotone transformations of the time series and robust against small perturbations or measurement errors. Ordinal pattern dependence can be characterized by four parameters. We propose estimators for these parameters, and we calculate their asymptotic distributions.…

阈值扩散模型检验AI 解读

The threshold diffusion model assumes a piecewise linear drift term and a piecewise smooth diffusion term, which constitutes a rich model for analyzing nonlinear continuous-time processes. We consider the problem of testing for threshold nonlinearity in the drift term. We do this by developing a quasi-likelihood test derived under the working assumption of a constant diffusion term, which circumvents the problem of generally unknown functional form for the diffusion term.…

黏性无限隐马尔可夫切换自回归移动平均模型AI 解读

Markov-switching models are usually specified under the assumption that all the parameters change when a regime switch occurs. Relaxing this hypothesis and being able to detect which parameters evolve over time is relevant for interpreting the changes in the dynamics of the series, for specifying models parsimoniously, and may be helpful in forecasting. We propose the class of sticky infinite hidden Markov-switching autoregressive moving average models, in which we…

混合双重自回归时间序列模型AI 解读

This article proposes a mixture double autoregressive model by introducing the flexibility of mixture models to the double autoregressive model, a novel conditional heteroscedastic model recently proposed in the literature. To make it more flexible, the mixing proportions are further assumed to be time varying, and probabilistic properties including strict stationarity and higher order moments are derived. Inference tools including the maximum likelihood estimation, an…

未知阈值的回归折点模型AI 解读

This article explores estimation and inference in a regression kink model with an unknown threshold. A regression kink model (or continuous threshold model) is a threshold regression constrained to be everywhere continuous with a kink at an unknown threshold. We present methods for estimation, to test for the presence of the threshold, for inference on the regression parameters, and for inference on the regression function. A novel finding is that inference on the regression…

基于分组正交贪婪算法的阈值估计AI 解读

A threshold autoregressive (TAR) model is an important class of nonlinear time series models that possess many desirable features such as asymmetric limit cycles and amplitude-dependent frequencies. Statistical inference for the TAR model encounters a major difficulty in the estimation of thresholds, however. This article develops an efficient procedure to estimate the thresholds. The procedure first transforms multiple-threshold detection to a regression variable selection…

重尾多阈值双重自回归模型的统计推断AI 解读

This article develops a systematic inference procedure for heavy-tailed and multiple-threshold double autoregressive (MTDAR) models. We first study its quasi-maximum exponential likelihood estimator (QMELE). It is shown that the estimated thresholds are n-consistent, each of which converges weakly to the smallest minimizer of a two-sided compound Poisson process. The remaining parameters are n$\sqrt{n}$-consistent and asymptotically normal. Based on this theory, a…

一类新的二元门限协整模型AI 解读

In this article, we introduce a new class of bivariate threshold VAR cointegration models. In the models, outside a compact region, the processes are cointegrated, while in the compact region, we allow different kinds of possibilities. We show that the bivariate processes form a 1/2-null recurrent system. We also find that the convergence rate for the estimators for the coefficients in the outside regime is T$\sqrt{T}$, while the convergence rate for the estimators for the…

模型不稳定下的宏观变量预测AI 解读

We compare different approaches to accounting for parameter instability in the context of macroeconomic forecasting models that assume either small, frequent changes versus models whose parameters exhibit large, rare changes. An empirical out-of-sample forecasting exercise for U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth and inflation suggests that models that allow for parameter instability generate more accurate density forecasts than constant-parameter models although they…

时间序列核平滑预渐近推断的固定带宽视角AI 解读

This paper develops robust testing procedures for nonparametric kernel methods in the presence of temporal dependence of unknown forms. Based on the fixed-bandwidth asymptotic variance and the pre-asymptotic variance, we propose a heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust (HAR) variance estimator that achieves double robustness — it is asymptotically valid regardless of whether the temporal dependence is present or not, and whether the kernel smoothing bandwidth is held…

重尾门槛自回归模型的自加权 LAD 推断AI 解读

The least squares estimator of the threshold autoregressive (TAR) model may not be consistent when its tail is less than or equal to 2. Neither theory nor methodology can be applied to model fitting in this case. This paper is to develop a systematic procedure of statistical inference for the heavy-tailed TAR model. We first investigate the self-weighted least absolute deviation estimation for the model. It is shown that the estimated slope parameters are n-consistent and…

两阶段门槛乘法误差模型的拟合检验AI 解读

The recent literature on financial time series analysis has devoted considerable attention to nonnegative time series, such as financial durations, realized volatility, and squared returns. The class of models, referred to as the multiplicative error models [MEM], is particularly suited to model such nonnegative time series. We develop a lack-of-fit test for fitting a two-phase threshold model for the conditional mean function in an MEM. The proposed testing procedure can…

低频污染下分数协整的中频带最小二乘估计AI 解读

This paper introduces a new estimator of the fractional cointegrating vector between stationary long memory processes that is robust to low-frequency contamination such as random level shifts, outliers, Markov switching means, and certain deterministic trends. In particular, the proposed medium band least squares (MBLS) estimator uses sample-size-dependent trimming of frequencies in the vicinity of the origin to account for such contamination. Consistency and asymptotic…
