弱识别下的非线性协整回归AI 解读

An asymptotic theory is developed for a weakly identified cointegrating regression model in which the regressor is a nonlinear transformation of an integrated process. Weak identification arises from the presence of a loading coefficient for the nonlinear function that may be close to zero. In that case, standard nonlinear cointegrating limit theory does not provide good approximations to the finite-sample distributions of nonlinear least squares estimators, resulting in…

长记忆自标准化线性过程的渐近性质AI 解读

In this paper we study the convergence to fractional Brownian motion for long memory time series having independent innovations with infinite second moment. For the sake of applications we derive the self-normalized version of this theorem. The study is motivated by models arising in economic applications where often the linear processes have long memory, and the innovations have heavy tails.

分数型函数中心极限定理的必要矩条件AI 解读

We discuss the moment condition for the fractional functional central limit theorem (FCLT) for partial sums of x t = Δ − d u t , where $d\, \in \,\left({ - {1 \over 2}\,,\,{1 \over 2}} \right)$ is the fractional integration parameter and u t is weakly dependent. The classical condition is existence of q ≥ 2 and $q\, > \,\left( {d\, + \,{1 \over 2}} \right)^{ - 1} $ moments of the innovation sequence. When d is close to $ - {1 \over 2}$ this moment condition is very strong.…

删失Box–Cox回归模型的分布无关估计AI 解读

The Box–Cox regression model has been widely used in applied economics. However, there has been very limited discussion when data are censored. The focus has been on parametric estimation in the cross-sectional case, and there has been no discussion at all for the panel data model with fixed effects. This paper fills these important gaps by proposing distribution-free estimators for the Box–Cox model with censoring in both the cross-sectional and panel data settings. The…

白噪声中的单位根AI 解读

We show that the empirical distribution of the roots of the vector autoregression (VAR) of order p fitted to T observations of a general stationary or nonstationary process converges to the uniform distribution over the unit circle on the complex plane, when both T and p tend to infinity so that (ln T )/ p → 0 and p 3 / T → 0. In particular, even if the process is a white noise, nearly all roots of the estimated VAR will converge by absolute value to unity. For fixed p , we…

含测量误差的删失结构潜变量模型AI 解读

We consider censored structural latent variables models where some exogenous variables are subject to additive measurement errors. We demonstrate that overidentification conditions can be exploited to provide natural instruments for the variables measured with errors, and we propose a two-stage estimation procedure. The first stage involves substituting available instruments in lieu of the variables that are measured with errors and estimating the resulting reduced form…

利用扩展函数型Delta方法检验未知时点的相关性变化AI 解读

We propose a new test against a change in correlation at an unknown point in time based on cumulated sums of empirical correlations. The test does not require that inputs are independent and identically distributed under the null. We derive its limiting null distribution using a new functional delta method argument, provide a formula for its local power for particular types of structural changes, give some Monte Carlo evidence on its finite-sample behavior, and apply it to…

自回归模型的统一区间估计AI 解读

An empirical likelihood–based confidence interval is proposed for interval estimations of the autoregressive coefficient of a first-order autoregressive model via weighted score equations. Although the proposed weighted estimate is less efficient than the usual least squares estimate, its asymptotic limit is always normal without assuming stationarity of the process. Unlike the bootstrap method or the least squares procedure, the proposed empirical likelihood–based…

离散观测下布朗协变与共同跳跃的分离识别AI 解读

When the covariance between the risk factors of asset prices is due to both Brownian and jump components, the realized covariation (RC) approaches the sum of the integrated covariation (IC) with the sum of the co-jumps, as the observation frequency increases to infinity, in a finite and fixed time horizon. In this paper the two components are consistently separately estimated within a semimartingale framework with possibly infinite activity jumps. The threshold (or…

非平稳波动下单位根检验的自助法联合检验AI 解读

Three important issues surround testing for a unit root in practice: uncertainty as to whether or not a linear deterministic trend is present in the data; uncertainty as to whether the initial condition of the process is (asymptotically) negligible or not, and the possible presence of nonstationary volatility in the data. Assuming homoskedasticity, Harvey, Leybourne, and Taylor (2011, Journal of Econometrics , forthcoming) propose decision rules based on a four-way union of…

短记忆、长记忆及负记忆时间序列学生化均值的固定带宽渐近理论AI 解读

This paper considers the problem of variance estimation for the sample mean in the context of long memory and negative memory time series dynamics, adopting the fixed-bandwidth approach now popular in the econometrics literature. The distribution theory generalizes the short memory results of Kiefer and Vogelsang (2005, Econometric Theory 21, 1130–1164). In particular, our results highlight the dependence on the kernel (we include flat-top kernels), whether or not the kernel…

工具变量局部违反外生性时检验的渐近尺寸失真AI 解读

In the linear instrumental variables model with possibly weak instruments we derive the asymptotic size of testing procedures when instruments locally violate the exogeneity assumption. We study the tests by Anderson and Rubin (1949, The Annals of Mathematical Statistics 20, 46–63), Moreira (2003, Econometrica 71, 1027–1048), and Kleibergen (2005, Econometrica 73, 1103–1123) and their generalized empirical likelihood versions. These tests have asymptotic size equal to…

平稳高斯过程记忆参数极大似然估计的渐近理论AI 解读

Consistency, asymptotic normality, and efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimator for stationary Gaussian time series were shown to hold in the short memory case by Hannan (1973, Journal of Applied Probability 10, 130–145) and in the long memory case by Dahlhaus (1989, Annals of Statistics 34, 1045–1047). In this paper we extend these results to the entire stationarity region, including the case of antipersistence and noninvertibility.

上轮廓集与水平集代入估计量的一致性AI 解读

This paper studies the problem of estimating the set of finite-dimensional parameter values defined by a finite number of moment inequality or equality conditions and gives conditions under which the estimator defined by the set of parameter values that satisfy the estimated versions of these conditions is consistent in Hausdorff metric. This paper also suggests extremum estimators that with probability approaching 1 agree with the set consisting of parameter values that…

参数条件分布的积分条件矩检验AI 解读

In this paper we propose consistent integrated conditional moment tests for the validity of parametric conditional distribution models, based on the integrated squared difference between the empirical characteristic function of the actual data and the characteristic function implied by the model. To avoid numerical evaluation of the conditional characteristic function of the model distribution, a simulated integrated conditional moment test is proposed. As an empirical…

因子模型的有效估计AI 解读

This paper considers the factor model X t = Λ F t + e t . Assuming a normal distribution for the idiosyncratic error e t conditional on the factors { F t }, conditional maximum likelihood estimators of the factor and factor-loading spaces are derived. These estimators are called generalized principal component estimators (GPCEs) without the normality assumption. This paper derives asymptotic distributions of the GPCEs of the factor and factor-loading spaces. It is shown that…

函数型数据下条件分布的设定检验AI 解读

In this paper we construct a statistic to test a specific form of the conditional density function. The main point of this work is to consider a functional explanatory variable, and the statistic is constructed following recent advances in nonparametric functional data analysis. The asymptotic behavior of the test statistic is studied under both the null hypothesis and some local alternative hypothesis. Then, the finite sample behavior of the method is studied through…

多工具变量异方差回归中JIVE的渐近分布AI 解读

This paper derives the limiting distributions of alternative jackknife instrumental variables (JIV) estimators and gives formulas for accompanying consistent standard errors in the presence of heteroskedasticity and many instruments. The asymptotic framework includes the many instrument sequence of Bekker (1994, Econometrica 62, 657–681) and the many weak instrument sequence of Chao and Swanson (2005, Econometrica 73, 1673–1691). We show that JIV estimators are…

一类多元非对称GARCH模型的准极大似然估计AI 解读

We establish the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) of the parameters of a class of multivariate asymmetric generalized autoregressive conditionally heteroskedastic processes, allowing for cross leverage effects. The conditions required to establish the asymptotic properties of the QMLE are mild and coincide with the minimal ones in the univariate case. In particular, no moment assumption is made on the observed…

零常返单位根过程AI 解读

The classical nonstationary autoregressive models are both linear and Markov. They include unit root and cointegration models. A possible nonlinear extension is to relax the linearity and at the same time keep general properties such as nonstationarity and the Markov property. A null recurrent Markov chain is nonstationary, and β -null recurrence is of vital importance for statistical inference in nonstationary Markov models, such as, e.g., in nonparametric estimation in…

计算Andrews稳定性检验临界值的另一种数值方法AI 解读

We propose a method, alternative to that of Estrella (2003, Econometric Theory 19, 1128–1143), of obtaining exact asymptotic p -values and critical values for the popular Andrews (1993, Econometrica 61, 821–856) test for structural stability. The method is based on inverting an integral equation that determines the intensity of crossing a boundary by the asymptotic process underlying the test statistic. Further integration of the crossing intensity yields a p -value. The…

条件分位数局部多项式估计的一致偏差分析与Bahadur表示AI 解读

This paper investigates the bias and the weak Bahadur representation of a local polynomial estimator of the conditional quantile function and its derivatives. The bias and Bahadur remainder term are studied uniformly with respect to the quantile level, the covariates, and the smoothing parameter. The order of the local polynomial estimator can be higher than the differentiability order of the conditional quantile function. Applications of the results deal with global optimal…

连续时间ARMA过程的离散时间表示AI 解读

This paper derives exact discrete time representations for data generated by a continuous time autoregressive moving average (ARMA) system with mixed stock and flow data. The representations for systems comprised entirely of stocks or of flows are also given. In each case the discrete time representations are shown to be of ARMA form, the orders depending on those of the continuous time system. Three examples and applications are also provided, two of which concern the…

时间序列马尔可夫性质的检验AI 解读

The Markov property is a fundamental property in time series analysis and is often assumed in economic and financial modeling. We develop a new test for the Markov property using the conditional characteristic function embedded in a frequency domain approach, which checks the implication of the Markov property in every conditional moment (if it exists) and over many lags. The proposed test is applicable to both univariate and multivariate time series with discrete or…
