样本内密度预测的渐近理论AI 解读

This paper generalizes recent proposals of density forecasting models and it develops theory for this class of models. In density forecasting, the density of observations is estimated in regions where the density is not observed. Identification of the density in such regions is guaranteed by structural assumptions on the density that allows exact extrapolation. In this paper, the structural assumption is made that the density is a product of one-dimensional functions. The…

高维样本协方差矩阵线性谱统计中心极限定理的替换原理及检验应用AI 解读

Sample covariance matrices are widely used in multivariate statistical analysis. The central limit theorems (CLTs) for linear spectral statistics of high-dimensional noncentralized sample covariance matrices have received considerable attention in random matrix theory and have been applied to many high-dimensional statistical problems. However, known population mean vectors are assumed for noncentralized sample covariance matrices, some of which even assume Gaussian-like…

不规则间距空间数据的频域经验似然方法AI 解读

This paper develops empirical likelihood methodology for irregularly spaced spatial data in the frequency domain. Unlike the frequency domain empirical likelihood (FDEL) methodology for time series (on a regular grid), the formulation of the spatial FDEL needs special care due to lack of the usual orthogonality properties of the discrete Fourier transform for irregularly spaced data and due to presence of nontrivial bias in the periodogram under different spatial asymptotic…

基于正则化典型相关系数的高维独立性检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a new statistic to test independence between two high dimensional random vectors $\mathbf{X}:p_{1}\times1$ and $\mathbf{Y}:p_{2}\times1$. The proposed statistic is based on the sum of regularized sample canonical correlation coefficients of $\mathbf{X}$ and $\mathbf{Y}$. The asymptotic distribution of the statistic under the null hypothesis is established as a corollary of general central limit theorems (CLT) for the linear statistics of classical and…

具有非参数异方差的贝叶斯回归AI 解读

This paper studies large sample properties of a semiparametric Bayesian approach to inference in a linear regression model. The approach is to model the distribution of the regression error term by a normal distribution with the variance that is a flexible function of covariates. The main result of the paper is a semiparametric Bernstein–von Mises theorem under misspecification: even when the distribution of the regression error term is not normal, the posterior distribution…

非参数与半参数固定效应面板模型的渐近理论AI 解读

In this paper, we investigate the problem of estimating nonparametric and semiparametric panel data models with fixed effects. We focus on establishing the asymptotic results for estimators using smooth backfitting methods. We consider two estimators for the smooth unknown function in nonparametric panel regressions. One is a local linear estimator constructed similar as the one in Mammen et al. (2009) which was proposed for the additive nonparametric panel model. The other…

分数单整固定效应面板模型的有效推断AI 解读

A dynamic panel data model is considered that contains possibly stochastic individual components and a common stochastic time trend that allows for stationary and nonstationary long memory and general parametric short memory. We propose four different ways of coping with the individual effects so as to estimate the parameters. Like models with autoregressive dynamics, ours nests I(1) behaviour, but unlike the nonstandard asymptotics in the autoregressive case, estimates of…

非平稳面板的非参数秩检验AI 解读

We develop a set of nonparametric rank tests for non-stationary panels based on multivariate variance ratios which use untruncated kernels. As such, the tests do not require the choice of tuning parameters associated with bandwidth or lag length and also do not require choices with respect to numbers of common factors. The tests allow for unrestricted cross-sectional dependence and dynamic heterogeneity among the units of the panel, provided simply that a joint functional…

横截面均值与主成分方法的比较AI 解读

In spite of the increased use of factor-augmented regressions in recent years, little is known regarding the relative merits of the two main approaches to estimation and inference, namely, the cross-sectional average and principal component estimators. By providing a formal comparison of the approaches, the current paper fills this gap in the literature.

透过镜面：借助简单均衡进行间接推断AI 解读

This paper develops an indirect inference (Gourieroux et al., 1993; Smith, 1993) estimation method for a large class of dynamic equilibria. Our approach consists of constructing econometrically tractable auxiliary equilibria, obtained by simplifying the economic primitives of the structural equilibrium model, via which estimation can proceed. We use this approach to develop an accurate estimator for the long-run risk model of Bansal and Yaron (2004). We demonstrate the…

异方差下的刀切工具变量估计AI 解读

We present a new jackknife estimator for instrumental variable inference with unknown heteroskedasticity. It weighs observations such that many-instruments consistency is guaranteed while the signal component in the data is maintained. We show that this results in a smaller signal component in the many instruments asymptotic variance when compared to estimators that neglect a part of the signal to achieve consistency. Both many strong instruments and many weak instruments…

AR–GARCH 类模型的残差秩设定检验AI 解读

This paper derives the asymptotic distribution for a number of rank-based and classical residual specification tests in AR–GARCH type models. We consider tests for the null hypotheses of no linear and quadratic serial residual autocorrelation, residual symmetry, and no structural breaks. We also apply our method to backtesting Value-at-Risk. For these tests we show that, generally, no size correction is needed in the asymptotic test distribution when applied to AR–GARCH…

递归去趋势对面板单位根检验的影响AI 解读

This paper analyzes the properties of panel unit root tests based on recursively detrended data. The analysis is conducted while allowing for a (potentially) non-linear trend function, which represents a more general consideration than the current state of affairs with (at most) a linear trend. A new test statistic is proposed whose asymptotic behavior under the unit root null hypothesis, and the simplifying assumptions of a polynomial trend and iid errors are shown to be…

PANIC面板单位根检验的功效AI 解读

The current paper considers the asymptotic local power of second-generation panel unit root tests that are robust to the presence of cross-section dependence in the form of common factors. As a basis for our analysis, we take the PANIC approach of Bai and Ng (2004, 2010), which is one of the single most popular and general second-generation approaches around.

非参数预测回归AI 解读

A unifying framework for inference is developed in predictive regressions where the predictor has unknown integration properties and may be stationary or nonstationary. Two easily implemented nonparametric F-tests are proposed. The limit distribution of these predictive tests is nuisance parameter free and holds for a wide range of predictors including stationary as well as non-stationary fractional and near unit root processes. Asymptotic theory and simulations show that…

当偏差压倒方差：DEA 与 FDH 效率得分的中心极限定理AI 解读

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and free disposal hull (FDH) estimators are widely used to estimate efficiencies of production units. In applications, both efficiency scores for individual units as well as average efficiency scores are typically reported. While several bootstrap methods have been developed for making inference about the efficiencies of individual units, until now no methods have existed for making inference about mean efficiency levels. This paper shows that…

波动率成分模型的计量分析AI 解读

Volatility component models have received considerable attention recently, not only because of their ability to capture complex dynamics via a parsimonious parameter structure, but also because it is believed that they can handle well structural breaks or nonstationarities in asset price volatility. This paper revisits component volatility models from a statistical perspective and attempts to explore the stationarity of the underlying processes. There is a clear need for…

格点过程的模型设定检验AI 解读

We consider an omnibus test for the correct specification of the dynamics of a sequence $\left\{ {x\left( t \right)} \right\}_{t \in Z^d } $ in a lattice. As it happens with causal models and d = 1, its asymptotic distribution is not pivotal and depends on the estimator of the unknown parameters of the model under the null hypothesis. One first main goal of the paper is to provide a transformation to obtain an asymptotic distribution that is free of nuisance parameters.…

Haavelmo 的实验方法论与协整向量自回归情景分析AI 解读

The paper provides a careful, analytical account of Trygve Haavelmo’s use of the analogy between controlled experiments common in the natural sciences and econometric techniques. The experimental analogy forms the linchpin of the methodology for passive observation that he develops in his famous monograph, The Probability Approach in Econometrics (1944). Contrary to some recent interpretations of Haavelmo’s method, the experimental analogy does not commit Haavelmo to a…

巴黎住房特征价格：含嵌套随机效应的非平衡空间滞后伪面板模型AI 解读

Summary This paper estimates a hedonic housing model based on flats sold in the city of Paris over the period 1990–2003. This is done using maximum likelihood estimation, taking into account the nested structure of the data. Paris is historically divided into 20 arrondissements , each divided into four quartiers (quarters), which in turn contain between 15 and 169 blocks ( îlot , in French) per quartier . This is an unbalanced pseudo‒panel data containing 156,896…

Summary Motivated by the need for a positive‐semidefinite estimator of multivariate realized covariance matrices, we model noisy and asynchronous ultra‐high‐frequency asset prices in a state‐space framework with missing data. We then estimate the covariance matrix of the latent states through a Kalman smoother and expectation maximization (KEM) algorithm. Iterating between the two EM steps, we obtain a covariance matrix estimate which is robust to both asynchronicity and…

多变量最大稳定空间过程AI 解读

Max-stable processes allow the spatial dependence of extremes to be modelled and quantified, so they are widely adopted in applications. For a better understanding of extremes, it may be useful to study several variables simultaneously. To this end, we study the maxima of independent replicates of multivariate processes, both in the Gaussian and Student-t cases. We define a Poisson process construction and introduce multivariate versions of the Smith Gaussian extreme-value,…

含纵向协变量的扩展风险率模型AI 解读

In clinical trials and other medical studies, it has become increasingly common to observe simultaneously an event time of interest and longitudinal covariates. In the literature, joint modelling approaches have been employed to analyse both survival and longitudinal processes and to investigate their association. However, these approaches focus mostly on developing adaptive and flexible longitudinal processes based on a prespecified survival model, most commonly the Cox…

信息性响应缺失下线性混合效应模型的变换方法AI 解读

We consider a linear mixed-effects model in which the response panel vector has missing components and the missing data mechanism depends on observed data as well as missing responses through unobserved random effects. Using a transformation of the data that eliminates the random effects, we derive asymptotically unbiased and normally distributed estimators of certain model parameters. Estimators of model parameters that cannot be estimated using the transformed data are…
