非对称幂分布：理论及风险度量应用AI 解读

Abstract Theoretical literature in finance has shown that the risk of financial time series can be well quantified by their expected shortfall, also known as the tail value‐at‐risk. In this paper, I construct a parametric estimator for the expected shortfall based on a flexible family of densities, called the asymmetric power distribution (APD). The APD family extends the generalized power distribution to cases where the data exhibits asymmetry. The first contribution of the…

国际福利比较与多变量随机占优的非参数检验AI 解读

Abstract This paper outlines a class of statistical procedures that permit testing of a broad range of multidimensional stochastic dominance hypotheses and, more generally, welfare hypotheses that rely upon multiple stochastic dominance conditions. We apply the procedures to data on income and leisure hours for individuals in Germany, the UK, and the USA. We find that no country first‐order stochastically dominates the others in both dimensions for all years of comparison.…

引力模型的贝叶斯推断AI 解读

Abstract This paper seeks to empirically extend the gravity model , which has been widely used to analyze volumes of trade between pairs of countries. We generalize the basic threshold tobit model by allowing for the inclusion of country‐specific effects into the analysis and also show how one can explore the relationship between trade volumes and a given covariate via a non‐parametric approach. We use our derived methodology to investigate the impact of a particular aspect…

三变量 VAR 过程长期因果关系的有效检验：货币—收入关系的滚动窗口研究AI 解读

Abstract This paper develops a simple sequential multiple‐horizon non‐causation test strategy for trivariate VAR models (with one auxiliary variable). We apply the test strategy to a rolling window study of money supply and real income, with the price of oil, the unemployment rate and the spread between the Treasury bill and commercial paper rates as auxiliary processes. Ours is the first study to control simultaneously for common stochastic trends, sensitivity of test…

识别技术有效率的渔船：非空最小子集方法AI 解读

Abstract Stochastic frontier models are often employed to estimate fishing vessel technical efficiency. Under certain assumptions, these models yield efficiency measures that are means of truncated normal distributions. We argue that these measures are flawed, and use the results of Horrace ( 2005 ) to estimate efficiency for 39 vessels in the Northeast Atlantic herring fleet, based on each vessel's probability of being efficient. We develop a subset selection technique to…

利用非线性协整估计货币需求函数AI 解读

Abstract Conventionally, the money demand function is estimated using a regression of the logarithm of money demand on either the interest rate or the logarithm of the interest rate. This equation is presumed to be a cointegrating regression. In this paper, we aim to combine the logarithmic specification, which models the liquidity trap better than a linear model, with the assumption that the interest rate itself is an integrated process. The proposed technique is robust to…

基于熵方法的凹生产技术非参数估计AI 解读

Abstract An econometric methodology is developed for nonparametric estimation of concave production technologies. The methodology, based on the principle of maximum likelihood, uses entropic distance and convex programming techniques to estimate production functions. Empirical applications are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the methodology in small and large datasets. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

失业与流动性约束AI 解读

Abstract We present a dynamic framework for the interaction between borrowing (liquidity) constraints and deviations of actual hours from desired hours, both measured by discrete‐valued indicators, and estimate it as a system of dynamic binary and ordered probit models with panel data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. We analyze a household's propensity to be liquidity constrained by means of a dynamic binary probit model. We analyze qualitative aspects of the…

失业与低工资就业的相互关联动态AI 解读

Abstract This paper examines the extent of state dependence in unemployment and the role played in this by intervening low‐wage employment. A range of dynamic random and fixed‐effects estimators are compared. Low‐wage employment is found to have almost as large an adverse effect as unemployment on future prospects and the difference in their effects is found to be insignificant. Evidence is presented that low‐wage jobs act as the main conduit for repeat unemployment and…

遥远未来的贴现：模型选择如何影响确定性等价贴现率？AI 解读

Abstract Recent work in evaluating investments with long‐term consequences has turned towards establishing a schedule of Declining Discount Rates (DDRs). Using US data we show that the employment of models that account for changes in the interest rate generating mechanism has important implications for operationalising a theory of DDRs that depends upon uncertainty. The policy implications of DDRs are then analysed in the context of climate change for the USA, where the use…

特征价格函数的非参数估计AI 解读

Abstract Rosen's ( 1974 ) theory of hedonic prices is implemented econometrically using recently developed nonparametric techniques to examine the influence of qualitative factors on the price of a house. Our ability to smooth categorical variables leads to greater generalization in the valuation process and provides a canvas for interactions between categorical and continuous variables that is difficult to exploit in parametric and semiparametric models. This is illustrated…

外包与贸易变化下的就业部门调整：动态固定效应多项 Logit 证据AI 解读

Abstract This paper analyzes the effects of trade and outsourcing on the transition probabilities of employment between sectors, using a dynamic multinomial logit framework with fixed effects. The data cover a sample of individual Austrian male workers over the period 1988–2001. Our results strongly support the view that international economic forces are important determinants of labor market turnover. In particular, an increase in the outsourcing intensity negatively…

强处理选择下匹配算法的表现评估AI 解读

Abstract This paper investigates the method of matching regarding two crucial implementation choices: the distance measure and the type of algorithm. We implement optimal full matching—a fully efficient algorithm—and present a framework for statistical inference. The implementation uses data from the NLSY79 to study the effect of college education on earnings. We find that decisions regarding the matching algorithm depend on the structure of the data: In the case of strong…

弱工具变量下 IV 估计量的有限样本证据AI 解读

Abstract We present finite sample evidence on different IV estimators available for linear models under weak instruments; explore the application of the bootstrap as a bias reduction technique to attenuate their finite sample bias; and employ three empirical applications to illustrate and provide insights into the relative performance of the estimators in practice. Our evidence indicates that the random‐effects quasi‐maximum likelihood estimator outperforms alternative…

存在截面依赖时的简单面板单位根检验AI 解读

Abstract A number of panel unit root tests that allow for cross‐section dependence have been proposed in the literature that use orthogonalization type procedures to asymptotically eliminate the cross‐dependence of the series before standard panel unit root tests are applied to the transformed series. In this paper we propose a simple alternative where the standard augmented Dickey–Fuller (ADF) regressions are augmented with the cross‐section averages of lagged levels and…

非平稳面板的子抽样假设检验：汇率与股票价格应用AI 解读

Abstract This paper studies subsampling hypothesis tests for panel data that may be nonstationary, cross‐sectionally correlated, and cross‐sectionally cointegrated. The subsampling approach provides approximations to the finite sample distributions of the tests without estimating nuisance parameters. The tests include panel unit root and cointegration tests as special cases. The number of cross‐sectional units is assumed to be finite and that of time‐series observations…

意大利内部迁移的长期趋势：存在个体依赖的面板协整研究AI 解读

Abstract The objective of this paper is to examine the long‐run determinants of internal migrations from southern Italy. In order to accomplish this task, the paper develops a bootstrap test for panel cointegration analysis with dependent units. Monte Carlo simulations show that the test, based on the Continuous‐Path Block bootstrap, has good power and size properties and is robust to both short‐ and long‐run dependence across units. The empirical analysis points to income…

欧盟内部贸易引力模型：异质共同因子面板中的 CCEP-HT 估计AI 解读

Abstract We follow recent developments of panel data studies and allow for the existence of both observed and unobserved common factors where their individual responses are allowed to be heterogeneous. We then develop a generalized Hausman–Taylor estimation methodology, and apply our proposed estimation technique to an analysis of the gravity equation of bilateral trade flows among 15 European countries over 1960–2001. Empirical results demonstrate that our proposed approach…

面板单位根检验与空间依赖AI 解读

Abstract This paper studies the performance of panel unit root tests when spatial effects are present that account for cross‐section correlation. Monte Carlo simulations show that there can be considerable size distortions in panel unit root tests when the true specification exhibits spatial error correlation. These tests are applied to a panel data set on net real income from the 1000 largest French communes observed over the period 1985–1998. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley &…

面板单位根检验中截面依赖的动态因子提取AI 解读

Abstract Recently, considerable emphasis has been placed on the problems arising out of cross‐sectional dependence in panel unit root tests. This paper adopts the factor‐based cross‐sectional dependence paradigm of Bai and Ng ( 2005 ) but suggests alternative factor extraction methods. Some theoretical results for these methods are provided. Further, a detailed Monte Carlo study of these methods for multiple and persistent factors is undertaken. It is found that results are…

面板数据模型中的异质性与截面依赖：理论与应用专题导言AI 解读

Abstract The papers included in this special issue are primarily concerned with the problem of cross section dependence and heterogeneity in the analysis of panel data models and their relevance in applied econometric research. Cross section dependence can arise due to spatial or spill over effects, or could be due to unobserved (or unobservable) common factors. Much of the recent research on non‐stationary panel data have focussed on this problem. It was clear that the…

社会资本、生产壁垒与资本份额：非平稳面板中的参数异质性AI 解读

Abstract Recent advances in the growth literature have proposed that difficult‐to‐quantify concepts such as social capital may play an important role in explaining the degree of persistent income disparity that is observed among countries. Other recently explored possibilities include institutional mechanisms which generate barriers to aggregate production. An important limitation for empirical work in this area stems from the fact that it is difficult to distinguish sources…
