Markowitz 随机占优的张成检验AI 解读

We derive properties of the cdf of random variables defined as saddle-type points of real valued continuous stochastic processes. This facilitates the derivation of the first-order asymptotic properties of tests for stochastic spanning given some stochastic dominance relation. We define the concept of Markowitz stochastic dominance spanning, and develop an analytical representation of the spanning property. We construct a non-parametric test for spanning based on…

大型投资组合条件 VaR 的虚拟历史模拟AI 解读

In order to estimate the conditional risk of a portfolio’s return, two strategies can be advocated. A multivariate strategy requires estimating a dynamic model for the vector of risk factors, which is often challenging, when at all possible, for large portfolios. A univariate approach based on a dynamic model for the portfolio’s return seems more attractive. However, when the combination of the individual returns is time varying, the portfolio’s return series is typically…

将隔夜与日内收益纳入多元 GARCH 波动率模型AI 解读

We propose and evaluate mixed-frequency multivariate GARCH models for forecasting low-frequency (weekly) volatility based on high-frequency intraday returns (at 5-minute intervals) and on the overnight returns. The low-frequency conditional volatility matrix is modeled as a weighted sum of an intraday and an overnight component. The components are specified as multivariate GARCH processes of the BEKK type, adapted to the mixed-frequency data setting, and may enter the model…

灵活的多元 Hill 估计量AI 解读

Dominicy et al. (2017) introduce a family of Hill estimators for elliptically distributed and heavy tailed random vectors. They propose to use the univariate Hill to a norm of order h of the data. The norms are homogeneous functions of order one. We show that the family of estimators can be generalized to homogeneous functions of any order and, more importantly, that ellipticity is not required. Only multivariate regular variation is needed, as it is preserved under…

日内与隔夜波动率的耦合成分 DCS-EGARCH 模型AI 解读

We propose a semi-parametric coupled component exponential GARCH model for intraday and overnight returns that allows the two series to have different dynamical properties. We adopt a dynamic conditional score model with t-distributed innovations that captures the very heavy tails of overnight returns. We propose a several-step estimation procedure that captures the nonparametric slowly moving components by kernel estimation and the dynamic parameters by maximum likelihood.…

混合频率与混合样本数据的协整向量频域估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a simple method for exploiting the information contained in mixed frequency and mixed sample data in the estimation of cointegrating vectors. The asymptotic properties of easy-to-compute spectral regression estimators of the cointegrating vectors are derived and these estimators are shown to belong to the class of optimal cointegration estimators. Furthermore, Wald statistics based on these estimators have asymptotic chi-square distributions which enable…

不可微函数的后验分布AI 解读

This paper examines the asymptotic behavior of the posterior distribution of a possibly nondifferentiable function g(θ), where θ is a finite-dimensional parameter of either a parametric or semiparametric model. The main assumption is that the distribution of a suitable estimator θ̂n, its bootstrap approximation, and the Bayesian posterior for θ all agree asymptotically.

具有随机未观测异质性的持续期模型非参数分析AI 解读

This paper develops nonparametric identification and estimation results for a single-spell hazard model, where the unobserved heterogeneity is specified as a Lévy subordinator. The identification approach solves a nonlinear Volterra integral equation of the first kind with an unknown kernel function. Both the kernel of the integral operator, which models the distribution of the unobserved heterogeneity, and the functions that enter it are identified given regularity…

结构突变模型中的相关参数变化AI 解读

Structural break time series models, which are commonly used in macroeconomics and finance, capture unknown structural changes by allowing for abrupt changes to model parameters. However, many specifications suffer from an over-parametrization issue, since typically all parameters have to change when a break occurs. We introduce a sparse change-point model to detect which parameters change over time. We propose a shrinkage prior distribution, which controls model parsimony…

高维工具变量回归的统计推断AI 解读

This paper concerns statistical inference for the components of a high-dimensional regression parameter despite possible endogeneity of each regressor. Given a first-stage linear model for the endogenous regressors and a second-stage linear model for the dependent variable, we develop a novel adaptation of the parametric one-step update to a generic second-stage estimator. We provide conditions under which the scaled update is asymptotically normal. We then introduce a…

高频交易者与价格过程AI 解读

Using a dataset that uniquely identifies counterparties to each S&P500 eMini transaction, we classify each market participant as high or low frequency, and each transaction, by the speed of the traders involved. We investigate empirically the comparative influence of high and low frequency traders on the price process, and conversely the influence of the price process on the trading of high and low frequency traders. We find that high frequency traders have a particularly…

一类矩条件模型中函数值参数的导数估计AI 解读

We develop a general approach to estimating the derivative of a function-valued parameter θo(u) that is identified for every value of u as the solution to a moment condition. This setup in particular covers interesting models for conditional distributions, such as quantile regression or distribution regression. Exploiting that θo(u) solves a moment condition, we obtain an explicit expression for its derivative from the Implicit Function Theorem, and then estimate the…

含干扰泛函的调查加权估计方程推断AI 解读

This paper provides a rigorous treatment on design-based estimating equation inference using complex survey data in the presence of nuisance functionals. The proposed design-based framework covers parameters from inequality measures and measures on performance evaluation in economic, business and financial studies but the scope of the paper is more broad. Unlike nuisance parameters in other settings where profile analysis is commonly used, the nuisance functionals are…

动态因子网络模型及其国际贸易应用AI 解读

We introduce a dynamic network model with probabilistic link functions that depend on stochastically time-varying parameters. We adopt a blockmodel framework and allow the high-dimensional vector of link probabilities to be a function of a low-dimensional set of dynamic factors. The resulting dynamic factor network model has a basic and transparent structure. However, parameter estimation, signal extraction of stochastic loadings and dynamic factors, and the econometric…

潜变量模型与错设模型的偏差信息准则AI 解读

Deviance information criterion (DIC) has been widely used for Bayesian model comparison, especially after Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is used to estimate candidate models. This paper first studies the problem of using DIC to compare latent variable models when DIC is calculated from the conditional likelihood. In particular, it is shown that the conditional likelihood approach undermines theoretical underpinnings of DIC. A new version of DIC, namely DICL, is proposed to…

期权市场交易活动与定价核估计：贝叶斯方法AI 解读

We propose a nonparametric Bayesian approach for the estimation of the pricing kernel. Historical stock returns and option market data are combined through the Dirichlet Process (DP) to construct an option-adjusted physical measure. The precision parameter of the DP process is calibrated to the amount of trading activity in deep-out-of-the-money options. We use the option-adjusted physical measure to construct an option-adjusted pricing kernel. An empirical investigation on…

完全信息博弈的反事实预测：部分识别下的点预测AI 解读

We study the problem of counterfactual prediction in discrete decision games with complete information, pure strategies, and Nash equilibria: the presence of multiple equilibria poses unique challenges. We introduce multiple types of counterfactuals to establish sharp identified bounds for their prediction probabilities. We propose and compare various point prediction methods, namely midpoint prediction, an approach using a Dirichlet-based prior, a maximum entropy method,…

纯空间模型的自适应推断AI 解读

In a general class of semiparametric pure spatial models (having no explanatory variables) allowing nonlinearity in the parameter and the weight matrix, we propose adaptive tests and estimates which are asymptotically efficient in the presence of unknown, nonparametric distributional form. Feasibility of adaptive estimation is verified and its efficiency improvement over Gaussian pseudo maximum likelihood is shown to be either less than, or more than, for models with…

受限随机占优下拍卖中的不可观测异质性AI 解读

We study the identification of first-price auctions with nonseparable unobserved heterogeneity. In particular, we extend Hu et al. (2013) by relaxing the first-order stochastic dominance condition. Instead, we assume restricted stochastic dominance relations among value quantile functions and show that the same relations pass to bid quantile functions. An ordered tree summarizes these relations and provides a total ordering. Relying on the proposed restricted stochastic…

共同冲击面板模型中异质系数的有效估计AI 解读

This paper investigates the estimation and inference issues of heterogeneous coefficients in panel data models with common shocks. We propose a novel two-step method to estimate the heterogeneous coefficients. We establish the asymptotic theory of our estimators, including consistency, asymptotic representation, and limiting distribution. Our two-step method can effectively address the limitations of the existing methods, such as the common correlated effects method proposed…

高维时间序列的门限因子模型AI 解读

We consider a threshold factor model for high-dimensional time series in which the dynamics of the time series is assumed to switch between different regimes according to the value of a threshold variable. This is an extension of threshold modeling to a high-dimensional time series setting under a factor structure. Specifically, within each threshold regime, the time series is assumed to follow a factor model. The regime switching mechanism creates structural changes in the…

无限方差过程的稳健因果性检验AI 解读

This paper develops a robust causality test for time series with infinite variance innovation processes. First, we introduce a measure of dependence for vector nonparametric linear processes, and derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic by Taniguchi et al. (1996) in the infinite variance case. Second, we construct a weighted version of the generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) test statistic, called the self-weighted GEL statistic in the time domain. The…

具有时间序列与异方差误差的高维回归变量选择AI 解读

Although existing literature on high-dimensional regression models is rich, the vast majority of studies have focused on independent and homogeneous error terms. In this article, we consider the problem of selecting high-dimensional regression models with heteroscedastic and time series errors, which have broad applications in economics, quantitative finance, environmental science, and many other fields. The error term in our model is the product of two components: one time…
