因子网络自回归AI 解读

We propose a factor network autoregressive (FNAR) model for time series with complex network structures. The coefficients of the model reflect many different types of connections between economic agents (“multilayer network”), which are summarized into a smaller number of network matrices (“network factors”) through a novel tensor-based principal component approach. We provide consistency and asymptotic normality results for the estimation of the factors, their loadings, and…

时空点过程的部分线性单指标模型与函数主成分分析AI 解读

We model spatially and temporally indexed point process data as a multi-level log-Gaussian Cox process where the log intensity function depends on a partially linear single-index structure of spatio-temporal covariates and three latent functional random effects representing the spatial and temporal random effects as well as their interactions. We assume that the latent functional effects are Gaussian processes with Karhunen-Loève representations, and model the unknown link…

部门不确定性：分层波动率方法AI 解读

We propose a new empirical framework to estimate sectoral uncertainty from data-rich environments. We jointly decompose the conditional variance of economic time series into a common, a sector-specific, and an idiosyncratic component. By specifying a hierarchical-factor structure to stochastic volatility modeling, our framework combines both dimension reduction and flexibility. To estimate the model, we develop an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm based on…

半参数时变面板数据模型的估计与推断AI 解读

This article introduces a new semiparametric panel data model that accounts for time-varying coefficients and aligns with recent advancements in factor models featuring nonparametric loading functions. We propose a profile marginal integration (PMI) method to jointly estimate the unknown quantities in a series of easily implementable steps. The asymptotic properties of these estimators are established. Additionally, we provide a hypothesis test to assess the validity of…

资产收益中因子强度的不稳定性AI 解读

We study the problem of detecting structural instability of factor strength in asset pricing models for financial returns with observable factors.We allow for strong and weaker factors, in which the sum of squared betas grows at a rate equal to and slower than the number of test assets, respectively: this growth rate determines the strength of the corresponding factor.We propose LM and Wald statistics for the null hypothesis of stability and derive their asymptotic…

离散观测数据的函数主成分分析理论AI 解读

Functional data analysis is an important research field in statistics which treats data as random functions drawn from some infinite-dimensional functional space, and functional principal component analysis (FPCA) based on eigen-decomposition plays a central role for data reduction and representation. After nearly three decades of research, there remains a key problem unsolved, namely, the perturbation analysis of covariance operator for diverging number of eigencomponents…

多重结构突变与多因子误差下空间面板模型的收缩估计AI 解读

This study investigates spatial panel data models with a multifactor error structure and multiple structural breaks occurring in the coefficients of both spatial lagged and explanatory variables. While extensive research has addressed cross-sectional dependence in panel data, including approaches that integrate spatial and factor structures within a single framework, few studies account for time-varying model parameters and achieving consistent estimation remains a…

非线性因子模型中的深度学习残差：低信噪比收益精度矩阵估计AI 解读

This paper introduces a consistent estimator and rate of convergence for the precision matrix of asset returns in large portfolios using a non-linear factor model within the deep learning framework. Our estimator remains valid even in low signal-to-noise ratio environments typical for financial markets and is compatible with the weak factor framework. Our theoretical analysis establishes uniform bounds on expected estimation risk based on deep neural networks for an…

不依赖序列排序的得分驱动动态因子模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a novel score-driven dynamic factor model designed for filtering cross-sectional co-movements in panels of time series. The model is formulated using elliptical distribution for noise terms, allowing the update of the time-varying parameter to be potentially nonlinear and robust to outliers. We derive stochastic properties of time series generated by the model, such as stationarity and ergodicity, and establish the invertibility of the filter. We prove…

条件函数稀疏性下大型协方差矩阵函数的因子引导估计AI 解读

This paper addresses the fundamental task of estimating covariance matrix functions for high-dimensional functional data/functional time series. We consider two functional factor structures encompassing either functional factors with scalar loadings or scalar factors with functional loadings, and postulate functional sparsity on the covariance of idiosyncratic errors after taking out the common unobserved factors. To facilitate estimation, we rely on the spiked matrix model…

状态变化因子模型的筛估计AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a sieve approach to estimate state-varying factor models, where the factor loadings vary over specific state variables. Our methodology consists of a two-step estimation procedure for the parameters of interest. In the first step, we achieve preliminary consistent estimates of the factors and factor loadings via nuclear norm regularization (NNR). In the second step, we perform post-NNR iterative least squares estimations for the factors and factor…

因子模型中结构脉冲响应的全局识别、估计与推断：统一框架AI 解读

This paper develops a theory for the global identification, estimation and inference of impulse response functions (IRFs) in structural factor models (SFMs). We examine the impact of normalization choices on IRF identification and propose to use identification restrictions robust to such choices. A new theorem is established to address IRF identification under both recursive and nonrecursive schemes in SFMs. Moreover, we develop two new estimators for structural IRFs under…

含部分可观测因子的高频因子分析AI 解读

This paper considers a novel factor structure – Partially Observable Factor Model – where both observable factors and latent factors exist in the model simultaneously. Such factor structure can make sure both interpretability and goodness-of-fit at the same time. Necessary estimation methodologies for this partially observable factor model are developed in this paper for the high frequency data. The proposed estimation methodology is robust to jumps, microstructure noise and…

因子模型结构变化的稳健残差检验AI 解读

In this paper, we propose an easy-to-implement residual-based specification testing procedure for detecting structural changes in factor models, which is powerful against both smooth and abrupt structural changes with unknown break dates. The proposed test is robust to the over-specified number of factors, and serially and cross-sectionally correlated error processes. A new central limit theorem is given for the quadratic forms of panel data with dependence over both…

多层矩阵因子模型AI 解读

Large scale matrix data has been widely discovered and continuously studied in various fields recently. We propose a multilevel matrix factor model considering the existence of multi level factor structure in matrix time series. This model incorporates both global factors influencing all matrix time series and local factors confined to impact specific matrix time series. Asymptotic properties are established to ensure the consistency of our procedure for estimating factor…

CRISK：衡量金融体系的气候风险暴露AI 解读

We develop a market-based methodology to assess banks’ resilience to climate-related risks and study the climate-related risk exposure of large global banks. We introduce a new measure, CRISK, which is the expected capital shortfall of a bank in a climate stress scenario. To estimate CRISK, we construct climate risk factors and dynamically measure banks’ stock return sensitivity (that is, climate beta) to the climate risk factor. We validate the climate risk factor…

基于随机森林的面板数据政策评价方法AI 解读

ABSTRACT It is challenging to conduct controlled experiments to assess the impacts of social policy. To address this, past studies propose a panel data approach using factor models to estimate average treatment effects. The selection of control units is a critical step to balance the goodness of fit within‐sample with the posttreatment forecasting error when the number of observed potential control units is large. In this study, we propose using random forests, an ensemble…

因子模型的张量主成分分析AI 解读

Modern empirical analysis often relies on high-dimensional panel datasets with non-negligible cross-sectional and time-series correlations. Factor models are natural for capturing such dependencies. A tensor factor model describes the $d$-dimensional panel as a sum of a reduced rank component and an idiosyncratic noise, generalizing traditional factor models for two-dimensional panels. We consider a tensor factor model corresponding to the notion of a reduced multilinear…

主成分回归的高维渐近性质AI 解读

We study principal components regression (PCR) in an asymptotic high-dimensional regression setting, where the number of data points is proportional to the dimension. We derive exact limiting formulas for the estimation and prediction risks, which depend in a complicated manner on the eigenvalues of the population covariance, the alignment between the population PCs and the true signal, and the number of selected PCs. A key challenge in the high-dimensional setting stems…

采用逐次提取 varimax 旋转的最优传统因子分析AI 解读

Vintage factor analysis is one important type of factor analysis that aims to first find a low-dimensional representation of the original data, and then to seek a rotation such that the rotated low-dimensional representation is scientifically meaningful. The most widely used vintage factor analysis is the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) followed by the varimax rotation. Despite its popularity, little theoretical guarantee can be provided to date mainly because varimax…

论多路主成分分析AI 解读

Multiway data are becoming more and more common. While there are many approaches to extending principal component analysis (PCA) from usual data matrices to these types of data, the conceptual differences from the usual PCA, and their methodological implications remain largely unknown. This work aims to specifically address these questions. Through a careful and rigorous treatment, we provide a better understanding of the operating characteristics of multiway PCA, develop…

具有局部单位根的数据中的伪因子AI 解读

This paper extends the spurious factor analysis of Onatski and Wang (2021, Spurious factor analysis. Econometrica , 89(2), 591–614.) to high-dimensional data with heterogeneous local-to-unit roots. We find a spurious factor phenomenon similar to that observed in the data with unit roots. Namely, the “factors” estimated by the principal components analysis converge to principal eigenfunctions of a weighted average of the covariance kernels of the demeaned Ornstein–Uhlenbeck…

利用动态因子模型为 DSGE 模型提供信息AI 解读

ABSTRACT Structural dynamic factor models (SDFM) represent a reliable tool to inform the construction of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models. The reason is that the log‐linear solution of a DSGE model has a factor structure which ensures consistency between the representations of the two models. We assess the usefulness of SDFM for DSGE analysis by means of simulations. Using a standard DSGE model as the data generating process, we show that the factor model…

Summary Recurrent event time data arise in many studies, including in biomedicine, public health, marketing and social media analysis. High-dimensional recurrent event data involving many event types and observations have become prevalent with advances in information technology. This article proposes a semiparametric dynamic factor model for the dimension reduction of high-dimensional recurrent event data. The proposed model imposes a low-dimensional structure on the mean…
