以共同协变量平滑的函数系数面板模型AI 解读

Behavior at the individual level in panels is often influenced by aspects of the system in aggregate. In particular, the interaction between individual-specific explanatory variables and an individual dependent variable may be affected by ‘global’ variables that are relevant in decision making and shared communally by all individuals in the sample. To capture such behavioral features, we employ a functional coefficient panel model in which certain communal covariates may…

时变模型的同时推断AI 解读

A general class of non-stationary time series is considered in this paper. We estimate the time-varying coefficients by using local linear M-estimation. For these estimators, weak Bahadur representations are obtained and are used to construct simultaneous confidence bands. For practical implementation, we propose a bootstrap based method to circumvent the slow logarithmic convergence of the theoretical simultaneous bands. Our results substantially generalize and unify the…

漂移突增假说AI 解读

The drift burst hypothesis postulates the existence of short-lived locally explosive trends in the price paths of financial assets. The recent U.S. equity and treasury flash crashes can be viewed as two high-profile manifestations of such dynamics, but we argue that drift bursts of varying magnitude are an expected and regular occurrence in financial markets that can arise through established mechanisms of liquidity provision. We show how to build drift bursts into the…

残差增广的 IVX 预测回归AI 解读

Bias correction in predictive regressions is known to reduce the empirical size problems of OLS-based predictability tests with persistent predictors. This paper shows that bias correction is also achieved in the context of the extended instrumental variable (IVX) predictability testing framework introduced by Kostakis et al. (2015). To be specific, new IVX-based statistics subject to a bias correction analogous to that proposed by Amihud and Hurvich (2004) are introduced.…

描述局部爆炸行为的时变参数模型AI 解读

Financial and economic time series can feature locally explosive behaviour when bubbles are formed. We develop a time-varying parameter model that is capable of describing this behaviour in time series data. Our proposed dynamic model can be used to predict the emergence, existence and burst of bubbles. We adopt a flexible observation driven model specification that allows for different bubble shapes and behaviour. We establish stationarity, ergodicity, and bounded moments…

含非对称性、长记忆与高阶矩溢出的已实现矩阵指数随机波动率模型AI 解读

The paper develops a novel realized matrix-exponential stochastic volatility model of multivariate returns and realized covariances that incorporates asymmetry and long memory (hereafter the RMESV-ALM model), and higher-moment spillovers. The matrix exponential transformation guarantees the positive definiteness of the dynamic covariance matrix. We decompose the likelihood function of the RMESV-ALM model into two components: one based on the conventional Kalman filter, and…

重尾 G-GARCH(1,1) 噪声下自回归模型的 LAD 推断AI 解读

This paper explores the least absolute deviation (LAD) estimator of the autoregressive model with heavy-tailed G-GARCH(1, 1) noise. When the tail index α∈(1,2], it is shown that the LAD estimator asymptotically converges to a linear function of a series of α-stable random vectors with a rate of convergence n1−1/α. The result is significantly different from that of the corresponding least square estimator which is not consistent, and partially solves the problem on the…

参数空间边界上的 Bootstrap 推断及条件波动率应用AI 解读

It is a well-established fact that – with an unknown number of nuisance parameters at the boundary – testing a null hypothesis on the boundary of the parameter space is infeasible in practice as the limiting distributions of standard test statistics are non-pivotal. In particular, likelihood ratio statistics have limiting distributions which can be characterized in terms of quadratic forms minimized over cones, where the shape of the cones depends on the unknown location of…

基于高频夏普比率的资产筛选AI 解读

In portfolio choice problems, the classical Mean–Variance model in Markowitz (1952) relies heavily on the covariance structure among assets. As the number and types of assets increase rapidly, traditional methods to estimate the covariance matrix and its inverse suffer from the common issues in high or ultra-high dimensional analysis. To avoid the issue of estimating the covariance matrix with high or ultra-high dimensional data, we propose a fast procedure to reduce…

GARCH 过程矩存在性的检验AI 解读

It is generally admitted that many financial time series have heavy tailed marginal distributions. When time series models are fitted on such data, the non-existence of appropriate moments may invalidate standard statistical tools used for inference. Moreover, the existence of moments can be crucial for risk management, for instance when risk is measured through the expected shortfall. This paper considers testing the existence of moments in the framework of GARCH processes.…

尾部中的 BetaAI 解读

Do hedge funds hedge? In negative states of the world, often not as much as they should. For several styles, we report larger market betas when market returns are low (i.e., “beta in the tails”). We justify this finding through a combination of negative-mean jumps in the market returns and large market jump betas: when moving to the left tail of the market return distribution jump dynamics dominate continuous dynamics and the overall systematic risk of the fund is driven by…

金融指数峰度的时间聚合效应AI 解读

Indices of financial returns typically display sample kurtosis that declines towards the Gaussian value 3 as the sampling interval increases. This paper uses stochastic unit root (STUR) and continuous time analysis to explain the phenomenon. Limit theory for the sample kurtosis reveals that STUR specifications provide two sources of excess kurtosis, both of which decline with the sampling interval. Limiting kurtosis is shown to be random and is a functional of the limiting…

含噪高频数据的占用密度估计AI 解读

This paper studies the nonparametric estimation of occupation densities for semimartingale processes observed with noise. As leading examples we consider the stochastic volatility of a latent efficient price process, the volatility of the latent noise that separates the efficient price from the actually observed price, and nonlinear transformations of these processes. Our estimation methods are decidedly nonparametric and consist of two steps: the estimation of the spot…

利用距离协方差检验时间序列模型的拟合优度AI 解读

In many statistical modeling frameworks, goodness-of-fit tests are typically administered to the estimated residuals. In the time series setting, whiteness of the residuals is assessed using the sample autocorrelation function. For many time series models, especially those used for financial time series, the key assumption on the residuals is that they are in fact independent and not just uncorrelated. In this paper, we apply the auto-distance covariance function (ADCV) to…

利用含截面依赖的函数系数面板模型检验资本资产定价模型AI 解读

This paper proposes a functional-coefficient panel data model with cross-sectional dependence motivated by re-examining the empirical performance of conditional capital asset pricing model. In order to characterize the time-varying property of assets’ betas and alpha, our proposed model allows the betas to be unknown functions of some macroeconomic and financial instruments. Moreover, a common factor structure is introduced to characterize cross-sectional dependence which is…

非对称幂 GARCH 模型的混合分位数估计AI 解读

Asymmetric power GARCH models have been widely used to study the higher order moments of financial returns, while their quantile estimation has been rarely investigated. This paper introduces a simple monotonic transformation on its conditional quantile function to make the quantile regression tractable. The asymptotic normality of the resulting quantile estimators is established under either stationarity or non-stationarity. Moreover, based on the estimation procedure, new…

结构多变量 GARCH 模型的识别AI 解读

The class of multivariate GARCH models is widely used to quantify and monitor volatility and correlation dynamics of financial time series. While many specifications have been proposed in the literature, these models are typically silent about the system inherent transmission of implied orthogonalized shocks to vector returns. In a framework of non-Gaussian independent structural shocks, this paper proposes a loss statistic, based on higher order co-moments, to discriminate…

通过风险因子映射高效估计高维动态协方差：金融风险管理应用AI 解读

This paper aims to explore a modified method of high-dimensional dynamic variance–covariance matrix estimation via risk factor mapping, which can yield a dependence estimation of asset returns within a large portfolio with high computational efficiency. The essence of our methodology is to express the time-varying dependence of high-dimensional return variables using the co-movement concept of returns with respect to risk factors. A novelty of the proposed methodology is to…

股票收益阶段性可预测性的检验AI 解读

Standard tests based on predictive regressions estimated over the full available sample data have tended to find little evidence of predictability in stock returns. Recent approaches based on the analysis of subsamples of the data suggest in fact that predictability where it occurs might exist only within so-called “pockets of predictability” rather than across the entire sample. However, these methods are prone to the criticism that the subsample dates are endogenously…

利用分布不连续协变量检验基于可观测变量的选择假设AI 解读

We present a test of the selection on observables assumption that neither requires instruments nor excluded covariates from the structural function. Instead, we rely on the presence of a discontinuously distributed variable among the set of controls. We develop formal testing procedures for a non-parametric additively separable model for binary and finite treatment variables. We also outline a nonparametric nonseparable extension. Our test is easy to implement and should be…

完全信息有序反应博弈中的推断AI 解读

We study inference in complete information games with discrete strategy spaces. Unlike binary games, we allow for rich strategy spaces and we only assume that they are ordinal in nature. We derive observable implications of equilibrium play under mild shape restrictions on payoff functions, and we characterize sharp identified sets for model parameters. We propose a novel inference method based on a test statistic that embeds conditional moment inequalities implied by…

参数存在跳跃不连续的面板模型：小波方法AI 解读

While a substantial literature on structural break change point analysis exists for univariate time series, research on large panel data models has not been as extensive. In this paper, a novel method for estimating panel models with multiple structural changes is proposed. The breaks are allowed to occur at unknown points in time and may affect the multivariate slope parameters individually. Our method adapts Haar wavelets to the structure of the observed variables in order…

半参数模型系数的识别及集体家庭模型应用AI 解读

We prove identification of coefficients for a set of semiparametric specifications that are related to multiple index models. Potential applications of these results include models of observed heterogeneity in production functions and in consumer demand systems. We then generalize these results to identify a class of collective household consumption models. We extend the existing literature by proving point identification, rather than the weaker generic identification, of…

不可观测选择集下的多项选择模型估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a new approach to estimating multinomial choice models when each consumer’s actual choice set is unobservable but could be bounded by two known sets, i.e., the largest and smallest possible choice sets. The bounds on choice set, combined with a monotonicity property derived from utility maximization, imply a system of inequality restrictions on observed choice probabilities that could be used to identify and estimate the model. A key insight is that the…
