序列相关误差下协整回归有效估计量的渐近性质AI 解读

In this paper, we analytically investigate three efficient estimators for cointegrating regression models: Phillips and Hansen's [Phillips, P.C.B., Hansen, B.E., 1990. Statistical inference in instrumental variables regression with I(1) processes. Review of Economic Studies 57, 99-125] fully modified OLS estimator, Park's [Park, J.Y., 1992. Canonical cointegrating regressions. Econometrica 60, 119-143] canonical cointegrating regression estimator, and Saikkonen's [Saikkonen,…

德国失业补偿制度改革：基于行政登记数据的非参数界限分析AI 解读

Economic theory suggests that an extension of the maximum length of entitlement for unemployment benefits increases the duration of unemployment. Empirical results for the reform of the unemployment compensation system in Germany during the 1980s are less clear. The analysis in this article is motivated by recent developments in econometrics for partial identification. We use extensive administrative data with the drawback that we can only observe lower and upper bounds for…

非参数相关随机效应模型中边际效应的识别AI 解读

In this article, we consider identification and estimation of average marginal effects in a correlated random effects model without imposing functional form assumptions on the structural likelihood or the mixing distribution. Identification is achieved through imposing that the mixing distribution depends on observed covariates only through an index function. We leave the functional form of the index function unrestricted subject to smoothness conditions. We present…

工具变量回归中多个参数的条件似然比检验AI 解读

For the problem of testing the hypothesis that all m coefficients of the right-hand-side endogenous variables in an instrumental variables (IV) regression are zero, the likelihood ratio (LR) test can, if the reduced form covariance matrix is known, be rendered similar by a conditioning argument. To exploit this fact requires knowledge of the relevant conditional cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) of the LR statistic, but the statistic is a function of the smallest…

识别内生解释变量参数的简约工具变量替代方法AI 解读

Abstract A review of the econometric literature on instrumental variables (IV) estimation shows that the performance of traditional IV estimation relies critically on the quality of the instruments. We discuss three different approaches that do not require the availability of observed instrumental variables: the ‘Higher Moments’ (HM) estimator, the ‘Identification trough Heteroscedasticity’ (IH) estimator, and the ‘Latent Instrumental Variable’ (LIV) approach. These methods…

基因组等容区的贝叶斯分析AI 解读

Statistical identification of isochore structure, the variation in large-scale GC composition (proportion of DNA bases that are G or C as opposed to A or T), of mammalian genomes is a necessary requirement for understanding both the evolution of base composition and the many genomic features such as mutation and recombination rates, which covary with base composition. We have developed a Bayesian method for isochore analysis that we demonstrate to be more accurate than the…

通过敏感性分析评估不完美工具变量推断的可信度AI 解读

Abstract Consistent instrumental variables (IV) estimation requires instruments uncorrelated with model errors, but this assumption is usually both suspect and untestable. Here the asymptotic sampling distribution of the IV parameter estimator is derived for any specified instrument‐error covariance vector. This result makes it possible to quantify the sensitivity of any particular IV inference result to instrument‐error correlations, allowing one to assess the robustness of…

无单调性非可分模型中局部平均导数的识别与估计AI 解读

In many structural economic models there are no good arguments for additive separability of the error. Recently, this motivated intensive research on non-separable structures. For instance, in equation case was considered, and it was established that in the absence of the frequently employed monotonicity assumption local average structural derivatives (LASD) are still identified. In this paper, we introduce an estimator for the LASD. The estimator we propose is based on…

联立方程模型中集中参数大小的评估AI 解读

This paper provides the practitioner with a method of ascertaining when the concentration parameter in a simultaneous equations model is small. We provide some exact distribution theory for a proposed statistic and show that the statistic possesses the minimal desirable characteristics of a test statistic when used to test that the concentration parameter is zero. The discussion is then extended to consider how to test for weak instruments using this statistic as a basis for…

误差截面相关对短动态面板估计的影响AI 解读

This paper explores the impact of error cross-sectional dependence (modelled as a factor structure) on a number of widely used IV and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators in the context of a linear dynamic panel data model. It is shown that, under such circumstances, the standard moment conditions used by these estimators are invalid -- a result that holds for any lag length of the instruments used. Transforming the data in terms of deviations from time-specific…

共同函数主成分AI 解读

Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) based on the Karhunen–Loève decomposition has been successfully applied in many applications, mainly for one sample problems. In this paper we consider common functional principal components for two sample problems. Our research is motivated not only by the theoretical challenge of this data situation, but also by the actual question of dynamics of implied volatility (IV) functions. For different maturities the log-returns of…

用灵活系数 GARCH(1,1) 模型刻画金融波动的多重状态AI 解读

In this paper a flexible multiple regime GARCH(1,1)-type model is developed to describe the sign and size asymmetries and intermittent dynamics in financial volatility. The results of the paper are important to other nonlinear GARCH models. The proposed model nests some of the previous specifications found in the literature and has the following advantages. First, contrary to most of the previous models, more than two limiting regimes are possible, and the number of regimes…

存在不依从的随机试验中因果效应的高效非参数估计AI 解读

Causal approaches based on the potential outcome framework provide a useful tool for addressing noncompliance problems in randomized trials. We propose a new estimator of causal treatment effects in randomized clinical trials with noncompliance. We use the empirical likelihood approach to construct a profile random sieve likelihood and take into account the mixture structure in outcome distributions, so that our estimator is robust to parametric distribution assumptions and…

具有社会互动的同步博弈中的统计推断AI 解读

This paper studies inference in a continuous time game where an agent's decision to quit an activity depends on the participation of other players. In equilibrium, similar actions can be explained not only by direct influences but also by correlated factors. Our model can be seen as a simultaneous duration model with multiple decision makers and interdependent durations. We study the problem of determining the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium stopping strategies in…

非线性价格下水需求的简约式模型与结构模型比较AI 解读

Increasing-block prices are common in markets for water, cellular phone service, and retail electricity. This study estimates demand models under block prices and conducts a Monte Carlo experiment to test the small-sample bias of structural and instrumental variables (IV) estimators. We estimate the price and income elasticity of water demand under increasing-block prices using a structural discrete/continuous choice (DCC) model, as well as random effects and IV. Elasticity…

矩不等式置信区间端点的自助法与 m out of n 自助法失效AI 解读

This paper analyses the finite-sample and asymptotic properties of several bootstrap and m out of n bootstrap methods for constructing confidence interval (CI) endpoints in models defined by moment inequalities. In particular, we consider using these methods directly to construct CI endpoints. By considering two very simple models, the paper shows that neither the bootstrap nor the m out of n bootstrap is valid in finite samples or in a uniform asymptotic sense in general…

单调工具变量的进一步分析AI 解读

Econometric analyses of treatment response often use instrumental variable (IV) assumptions to identify treatment effects. The traditional IV assumption holds that mean response is constant across the sub-populations of persons with different values of an observed covariate. Manski and Pepper (2000) introduced monotone instrumental variable assumptions, which replace equalities with weak inequalities. This paper presents further analysis of the monotone instrumental variable…

近弱工具变量下的有效 GMMAI 解读

This paper is in the line of the recent literature on weak instruments, which, following the seminal approach of Stock and Wright captures weak identification by drifting population moment conditions. In contrast with most of the existing literature, we do not specify a priori which parameters are strongly or weakly identified. We rather consider that weakness should be related specifically to instruments, or more generally to the moment conditions. In addition, we focus…

结构非参数协整回归AI 解读

Nonparametric estimation of a structural cointegrating regression model is studied. As in the standard linear cointegrating regression model, the regressor and the dependent variable are jointly dependent and contemporaneously correlated. In nonparametric estimation problems, joint dependence is known to be a major complication that affects identification, induces bias in conventional kernel estimates, and frequently leads to ill-posed inverse problems. In functional…

航空市场的市场结构与多重均衡AI 解读

We provide a practical method to estimate the payoff functions of players in complete information, static, discrete games. With respect to the empirical literature on entry games originated by Bresnahan and Reiss (1990) and Berry (1992), the main novelty of our framework is to allow for general forms of heterogeneity across players without making equilibrium selection assumptions. We allow the effects that the entry of each individual airline has on the profits of its…

无加性假设的三角联立方程模型：识别与估计AI 解读

This paper uses control variables to identify and estimate models with nonseparable, multidimensional disturbances. Triangular simultaneous equations models are considered, with instruments and disturbances that are independent and a reduced form that is strictly monotonic in a scalar disturbance. Here it is shown that the conditional cumulative distribution function of the endogenous variable given the instruments is a control variable. Also, for any control variable,…

部分识别参数置信区间的进一步研究AI 解读

This paper extends Imbens and Manski's (2004) analysis of confidence intervals for interval identified parameters. The extension is motivated by the discovery that for their final result, Imbens and Manski implicitly assumed locally superefficient estimation of a nuisance parameter.

具有交互固定效应的面板数据模型AI 解读

This paper considers large N and large T panel data models with unobservable multiple interactive effects. These models are useful for both micro and macro econometric modelings. In earnings studies, for example, workers ’ motivation, persistence, and diligence combined to influence the earnings in addition to the usual argument of innate ability. In macroeconomics, the interactive effects represent unobservable common shocks and their heterogeneous responses over cross…

排除限制下第一价格拍卖中风险厌恶的非参数识别AI 解读

This paper studies the nonparametric identification of the first-price auction model with risk averse bidders within the private value paradigm. First, we show that the benchmark model is nonindentified from observed bids. We also derive the restrictions imposed by the model on observables and show that these restrictions are weak. Second, we establish the nonparametric identification of the bidders' utility function under exclusion restrictions. Our primary exclusion…
