基于残差的随机协整检验AI 解读

We consider the problem of hypothesis testing in a modified version of the stochastic integration and cointegration framework of Harris, McCabe, and Leybourne (2002, Journal of Econometrics 111, 363–384). This nonlinear setup allows for volatility in excess of that catered for by the standard integration/cointegration paradigm through the introduction of nonstationary heteroskedasticity. We propose a test for stochastic cointegration against the alternative of no…

伽马与 Weibull 随机变量乘积和比值的分布AI 解读

The distributions of products and ratios of random variables are of interest in many areas of the sciences. In this note, the exact distributions of the product XY and the ratio X/Y are derived when X and Y are gamma and Weibull random variables distributed independently of each other.The authors thank the referee and the editor for carefully reading the paper and for their help in improving the paper.

GARCH(1,1) 模型的闭式估计量AI 解读

We propose a closed-form estimator for the linear GARCH(1,1) model. The estimator has the advantage over the often used quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) that it can be easily implemented and does not require the use of any numerical optimization procedures or the choice of initial values of the conditional variance process. We derive the asymptotic properties of the estimator, showing T(κ−1)/κ-consistency for some κ ∈ (1,2) when the fourth moment exists and…

随机过程积分泛函的收敛AI 解读

We investigate the convergence in distribution of integrals of stochastic processes satisfying a functional limit theorem. We allow a large class of continuous Gaussian processes in the limit. Depending on the continuity properties of the underlying process, local Lebesgue or Riemann integrability is required.We are grateful to the referees and Benedikt Pötscher for their helpful and constructive comments. The research of the first author was partially supported by OTKA…

含内生解释变量的非参数线性模型中的若干识别问题AI 解读

In applied work economists often seek to relate a given response variable y to some causal parameter μ* associated with it. This parameter usually represents a summarization based on some explanatory variables of the distribution of y, such as a regression function, and treating it as a conditional expectation is central to its identification and estimation. However, the interpretation of μ* as a conditional expectation breaks down if some or all of the explanatory variables…

协方差结构的识别AI 解读

The issue of identification of covariance structures, which arises in a number of different contexts, has been so far linked to conditions on the true parameters to be estimated. In this paper, this limitation is removed.As done by Johansen (1995, Journal of Econometrics 69, 112–132) in the context of linear models, the present paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the identification of a covariance structure that depends only on the constraints and can…

分位数回归模型的平滑经验似然方法AI 解读

This paper considers an empirical likelihood method to estimate the parameters of the quantile regression (QR) models and to construct confidence regions that are accurate in finite samples. To achieve the higher order refinements, we smooth the estimating equations for the empirical likelihood. We show that the smoothed empirical likelihood estimator is first-order asymptotically equivalent to the standard QR estimator and establish that confidence regions based on the…

非线性平滑转换误差修正模型中的协整检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a new testing procedure to detect the presence of a cointegrating relationship that follows a globally stationary smooth transition process. In the context of nonlinear smooth transition error correction models (ECMs) we provide two simple operational versions of the tests. First, we obtain the associated nonlinear ECM-based tests. Second, we derive the nonlinear analogue of the residual-based test for cointegration in linear models. We derive the…

长跨度下的方差比统计量AI 解读

We make three contributions to using the variance ratio statistic at large horizons. Allowing for general heteroskedasticity in the data, we obtain the asymptotic distribution of the statistic when the horizon k is increasing with the sample size n but at a slower rate so that k/n → 0. The test is shown to be consistent against a variety of relevant mean reverting alternatives when k/n → 0. This is in contrast to the case when k/n → δ > 0, where the statistic has been…

自回归指数过程的平稳性条件AI 解读

The stationarity conditions for an autoregressive (AR) process in general are reduced to a remarkably simple inequality if the lag coefficients are restricted to be identical. The condition is not only analytically elegant but also applicable in checking the validity of the stationarity conditions for such a restricted AR process of any order.We are deeply indebted to Professor Paolo Paruolo, NP co-editor of Econometric Theory, and anonymous referees for constructive…

“短回归与长回归”结果的推广AI 解读

This paper is concerned with the problem of combining a data set that identifies the conditional distribution P(y|x) with one that identifies the conditional distribution P(z|x) to identify the regressions E(y|x,·) ≡ [E(y|x,z = j),j ∈ Z] when the conditional distribution P(y|x,z) is unknown. Cross and Manski (2002, Econometrica 70, 357–368) studied this problem and showed that the identification region of E(y|x,·) can be precisely calculated when y has finite support. Here…

收缩型估计量风险与分布估计的性能限制及一般风险下界AI 解读

We consider the problem of estimating measures of precision of shrinkage-type estimators such as their risk or distribution. The notion of shrinkage-type estimators here refers to estimators such as the James–Stein estimator and Lasso-type estimators, in addition to “thresholding” estimators such as, e.g., Hodges' so-called superefficient estimator. Although the precision measures of such estimators typically can be estimated consistently, we show that they cannot be…

含水平突变的 VAR 断点日期估计及其协整检验应用AI 解读

In testing for the cointegrating rank of a vector autoregressive process it is important to take into account level shifts that have occurred in the sample period. Therefore the properties of estimators of the time period where a shift has taken place are investigated. The possible structural break is modeled as a simple shift in the level of the process. Two alternative estimators for the break date are considered, and their asymptotic properties are derived under various…

线性过程非线性变换下的单位根检验AI 解读

We consider the unit root testing problem with errors being nonlinear transforms of linear processes. When the linear processes are long-range dependent, the asymptotic distributions in the unit root testing problem are shown to be functionals of Hermite processes. Functional limit theorems for nonlinear transforms of linear processes are established. The obtained results differ sharply from the classical cases where asymptotic distributions are functionals of Brownian…

微分方程解的非参数研究AI 解读

The solution of differential equations lies at the heart of many problems in structural economics. In econometrics the general nonparametric analysis of consumer welfare is historically the most obvious application, but there are also many applications in finance and other fields. This work considers the general nonparametric form for these problems and identification conditions. It derives a kernel-based estimator and shows consistency and asymptotic normality.In…

非参数自相关误差下非参数回归的更有效估计AI 解读

We define a three-step procedure for more efficient estimation of the nonparametric regression mean with nonparametric autocorrelated errors. The procedure is based upon a nonparametric prewhitening transformation of the dependent variable that has to be estimated from the data by a local polynomial technique. We establish the asymptotic distribution of our estimator under weak dependence conditions and show that it is more efficient than the conventional local polynomial…

Kim 检验对含结构断点平稳过程的拒绝概率证明AI 解读

In this note we show that, when the true data generating process is a stationary one around a constant term with a break, the stationarity test of Kim (2000, Journal of Econometrics 95, 97–116) against the alternative hypothesis of change of persistence rejects the null of stationarity asymptotically with probability one.I am grateful to an anonymous referee for his useful comments, which have helped to improve the content and presentation of this note. I acknowledge…

依赖程度可随样本量增长的强混合三角阵列中心极限定理AI 解读

Conditions ensuring a central limit theorem for strongly mixing triangular arrays are given. Larger samples can show longer range dependence than shorter samples. The result is obtained by constraining the rate growth of dependence as a function of the sample size, with the usual trade-off of memory and moment conditions. An application to heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation consistent estimators is proposed.

异方差与自相关稳健检验的新渐近理论AI 解读

A new first-order asymptotic theory for heteroskedasticity-autocorrelation (HAC) robust tests based on nonparametric covariance matrix estimators is developed. The bandwidth of the covariance matrix estimator is modeled as a fixed proportion of the sample size. This leads to a distribution theory for HAC robust tests that explicitly captures the choice of bandwidth and kernel. This contrasts with the traditional asymptotics (where the bandwidth increases more slowly than the…

时变二阶矩下的平稳性检验AI 解读

In this paper we analyze the effects of a very general class of time-varying variances on well-known “stationarity” tests of the I(0) null hypothesis. Our setup allows, among other things, for both single and multiple breaks in variance, smooth transition variance breaks, and (piecewise-) linear trending variances. We derive representations for the limiting distributions of the test statistics under variance breaks in the errors of I(0), I(1), and near-I(1) data generating…

长程依赖线性过程下采样窗口法的有效性AI 解读

The sampling window method of Hall, Jing, and Lahiri (1998, Statistica Sinica 8, 1189–1204) is known to consistently estimate the distribution of the sample mean for a class of long-range dependent processes, generated by transformations of Gaussian time series. This paper shows that the same nonparametric subsampling method is also valid for an entirely different category of long-range dependent series that are linear with possibly non-Gaussian innovations. For these…

二元 ARCH 模型：QML 估计的有限样本性质及 LM 型检验应用AI 解读

This paper provides two main new results: the first shows theoretically that large biases and variances can arise when the quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimation method is employed in a simple bivariate structure under the assumption of conditional heteroskedasticity; and the second demonstrates how these analytical theoretical results can be used to improve the finite-sample performance of a test for multivariate autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (ARCH) effects,…

高阶核估计量的精确平均积分平方误差AI 解读

The exact mean integrated squared error (MISE) of the nonparametric kernel density estimator is derived for the asymptotically optimal smooth polynomial kernels of Müller (1984, Annals of Statistics 12, 766–774) and the trapezoid kernel of Politis and Romano (1999, Journal of Multivariate Analysis 68, 1–25) and is used to contrast their finite-sample efficiency with the higher order Gaussian kernels of Wand and Schucany (1990Canadian Journal of Statistics 18, 197–204). We…
