弱分数协整的完全修正窄带最小二乘估计AI 解读

We consider estimation of the cointegrating relation in the weak fractional cointegration model, where the strength of the cointegrating relation (difference in memory parameters) is less than one‐half. A special case is the stationary fractional cointegration model, which has found important applications recently, especially in financial economics. Previous research on this model has considered a semi‐parametric narrow‐band least squares (NBLS) estimator in the frequency…

因子增强预测变量的分位数回归模型与信息准则AI 解读

For situations with a large number of series, N, each with T observations and each containing a certain amount of information for prediction of the variable of interest, we propose a new statistical modelling methodology that first estimates the common factors from a panel of data using principal component analysis and then employs the estimated factors in a standard quantile regression. A crucial step in the model‐building process is the selection of a good model among many…

Cliff–Ord 面板模型中的 Hausman 检验AI 解读

This paper studies the random effects model and the fixed effects model for spatial panel data. The model includes a Cliff and Ord type spatial lag of the dependent variable as well as a spatially lagged one-way error component structure, accounting for both heterogeneity and spatial correlation across units. We discuss instrumental variable estimation under both the fixed and the random effects specifications and propose a spatial Hausman test which compares these two…

结构微观计量经济学的近期发展AI 解读

The papers in this Special Issue of The Econometrics Journal arose from the 19th meeting of (EC)2 (European Conferences of the Econom(etr)ics Community in Econometrics and Quantitative Economics) held in Rome, Italy, on December 19–20, 2008, at ‘Palazzo Koch’ that houses the Bank of Italy. The focus of the Conference was on ‘Recent Developments in Structural Microeconometrics’. Both theoretical and applied contributions were presented. The Local Organizing Committee…

通过求解逆问题进行非参数估计：以变换模型为例AI 解读

This paper considers a semi‐parametric version of the transformation model φ (Y) =β′X+U under exogeneity or instrumental variables assumptions (E(U∣X) = 0 or . This model is used as an example to illustrate the practice of the estimation by solving linear functional equations. This paper is specially focused on the data‐driven selection of the regularization parameter and of the bandwidths. Simulations experiments illustrate the relevance of this approach.

有限因变量模型中对弱识别稳健的推断AI 解读

We propose tests for structural parameters in limited dependent variable models with endogenous explanatory variables. These tests are based upon the generalized minimum distance principle. They are of the correct size regardless of whether the structural parameters are identified and are especially appropriate for models whose moment conditions are non-linear in the parameters. Moreover, they are computationally simple, allowing them to be implemented using a large number…

价格内生时精确消费者剩余的非参数估计AI 解读

This paper analyses a structural microeconomic relation describing the exact consumer surplus in a non-parametric setting with endogenous prices. The exact consumer surplus can be characterized as the solution of a differential equation involving the observed demand function. The strategy put forward in this paper involves two steps: first, estimate the demand function with endogeneity using non-parametric IV, second, plug this estimator into the differential equation to…

转移密度未知的马尔可夫模型的经验特征函数估计AI 解读

In this paper, we consider the estimation of Markov models where the transition density is unknown. The approach we propose is based on the empirical characteristic function estimation procedure with an approximate optimal weight function. The approximate optimal weight function is obtained through an Edgeworth/Gram--Charlier expansion of the logarithmic transition density of the Markov process. We derive the estimating equations and demonstrate that they are similar to the…

双峰t统计量：厚尾对统计推断的影响AI 解读

This paper studies the distribution of the classical t-ratio with data generated from distributions with no finite moments and shows how classical testing is affected by bimodality. A key condition in generating bimodality is independence of the observations in the underlying data-generating process (DGP). The paper highlights the strikingly different implications of lack of correlation versus statistical independence in DGPs with infinite moments and shows how standard…

改进动态模型的稳健模型选择检验AI 解读

We propose an improved model selection test for dynamic models using a new asymptotic approximation to the sampling distribution of a new test statistic. The model selection test is applicable to dynamic models with very general selection criteria and estimation methods. Since our test statistic does not assume the exact form of a true model, the test is essentially non-parametric once competing models are estimated. For the unknown serial correlation in data, we use a…

具有网络结构的社会互动模型：设定与估计AI 解读

This paper considers the specification and estimation of social interaction models with network structures and the presence of endogenous, contextual and correlated effects. With macro group settings, group-specific fixed effects are also incorporated in the model. The network structure provides information on the identification of the various interaction effects. We propose a quasi-maximum likelihood approach for the estimation of the model. We derive the asymptotic…

马尔可夫切换 GARCH 模型的理论与推断AI 解读

We develop a Markov-switching GARCH model (MS-GARCH) wherein the conditional mean and variance switch in time from one GARCH process to another. The switching is governed by a hidden Markov chain. We provide sufficient conditions for geometric ergodicity and existence of moments of the process. Because of path dependence, maximum likelihood estimation is not feasible. By enlarging the parameter space to include the state variables, Bayesian estimation using a Gibbs sampling…

适应未知光滑度的平均导数估计AI 解读

Many important models utilize estimation of average derivatives of the conditional mean function. Asymptotic results in the literature on density weighted average derivative estimators (ADE) focus on convergence at parametric rates; this requires making stringent assumptions on smoothness of the underlying density; here we derive asymptotic properties under relaxed smoothness assumptions. We adapt to the unknown smoothness in the model by consistently estimating the optimal…

动态离散选择模型中的异质性AI 解读

We consider dynamic discrete choice models with heterogeneity in both the levels parameter and the state dependence parameter. We first present an empirical analysis that motivates the theoretical analysis which follows. The theoretical analysis considers a simple two-state, first-order Markov chain model without covariates in which both transition probabilities are heterogeneous. Using such a model we are able to derive exact small sample results for bias and mean squared…

Abrevaya (1999b) considered estimation of a transformation model in the presence of left truncation. This paper observes that a cross‐sectional version of the statistical model considered in Frederiksen et al. (2007) is a generalization of the model considered by Abrevaya (1999b) and the generalized model can be estimated by a pairwise comparison version of one of the estimators in Frederiksen et al. (2007). Specifically, our generalization will allow for discretized…

动态面板模型中系统GMM估计量的弱工具变量问题AI 解读

The system GMM estimator for dynamic panel data models combines moment conditions for the model in first differences with moment conditions for the model in levels. It has been shown to improve on the GMM estimator in the first differenced model in terms of bias and root mean squared error. However, we show in this paper that in the covariance stationary panel data AR(1) model the expected values of the concentration parameters in the differenced and levels equations for the…

时间维度固定的面板单位根推断：不同检验的比较AI 解读

The objective of the paper is to investigate and compare the performance of some of the unit root tests in micropanels, which have been suggested in the literature. The framework is a first-order autoregressive panel data model allowing for heterogeneity in the intercept but not in the autoregressive parameter. The tests are all based on usual t-statistics corresponding to least squares estimators of the autoregressive parameter resulting from different transformations of…

确定性趋势项不确定时VAR过程的协整秩检验AI 解读

When applying Johansen's procedure for determining the cointegrating rank to systems of variables with linear deterministic trends, there are two possible tests to choose from. One test allows for a trend in the cointegration relations and the other one restricts the trend to being orthogonal to the cointegration relations. The first test is known to have reduced power relative to the second one if there is in fact no trend in the cointegration relations, whereas the second…

This paper studies the econometric properties of a linear‐in‐means model of social interactions. Under a slightly more restrictive framework than Lee (2007), we show that this model is generally identified when at least three different sizes of peer groups are observed in the sample at hand. While unnecessary in general, homoscedasticity may be required in special cases, for instance when endogenous and exogenous peer effects cancel each other. We extend this analysis to the…

均值—方差有效性检验的计量经济学：综述AI 解读

This paper provides a comprehensive survey of the econometrics of mean-variance efficiency tests. Starting with the classic F-test of Gibbons et al. (1989) and its generalized method of moments version, I analyse the effects of the number of assets and portfolio composition on test power. I then discuss asymptotically equivalent tests based on portfolio weights, and study the trade-offs between efficiency and robustness of using parametric and semi-parametric likelihood…

时变条件异方差模型的自适应逐点估计AI 解读

This paper offers a new method for estimation and forecasting of the volatility of financial time series when the stationarity assumption is violated. Our general, local parametric approach particularly applies to general varying-coefficient parametric models, such as GARCH, whose coefficients may arbitrarily vary with time. Global parametric, smooth transition and change-point models are special cases. The method is based on an adaptive pointwise selection of the largest…

含预测变量的非参数估计札记AI 解读

This article gives the asymptotic properties of non-parametric kernel-based density and regression estimators when one of the variables is predicted. Such variables, also known as "constructed variables" or "generated predictors", occur quite frequently in econometric and applied economic analysis. The impact of using predicted rather than observed values on the properties of estimators has been extensively studied in the fully parametric context. The results derived here…

计量经济学估计量的偏度与峰度AI 解读

We derive the approximate results for two standardized measures of deviation from normality, namely, the skewness and excess kurtosis coefficients, for a class of econometric estimators. The results are built on a stochastic expansion of the moment condition used to identify the econometric estimator. The approximate results can be used not only to study the finite sample behaviour of a particular estimator, but also to compare the finite sample properties of two…
