不同观测频率时间序列中的协整向量估计AI 解读

We discuss the effects of temporal aggregation on the estimation of cointegrating vectors and on testing linear restrictions on this vector. We adopt a discrete time approach and demonstrate, in contrast with the findings of Chambers (2003, Econometric Theory 19, 49–77), who adopts a continuous time approach, that in some situations, when the regressand must be aggregated, systematic sampling is preferable to average sampling for estimation purposes. Like Chambers, we show…

含跳跃仿射随机波动率模型推断的自适应 MCMC 方法AI 解读

In this paper we propose an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to estimate stochastic volatility models with jumps and affine structure. Our idea relies on the use of adaptive methods that aim at reducing the asymptotic variance of the estimates. We focus on the Delayed Rejection algorithm in order to find accurate proposals and to efficiently simulate the volatility path. Furthermore, Bayesian model selection is addressed through the use of reduced runs of…

允许结构突变的面板平稳性检验：人均GDP应用AI 解读

This paper proposes a test statistic for the null hypothesis of panel stationarity that allows for the presence of multiple structural breaks. Two different specifications are considered depending on the structural breaks affecting the individual effects and/or the time trend. The model is flexible enough to allow the number of breaks and their position to differ across individuals. The test is shown to have a standard normal limit distribution with a good finite sample…

含单位根动态回归模型中最小二乘估计量的矩近似AI 解读

To find approximations for bias, variance and mean-squared error of least-squares estimators for all coefficients in a linear dynamic regression model with a unit root, we derive asymptotic expansions and examine their accuracy by simulation. It is found that in this particular context useful expansions exist only when the autoregressive model contains at least one non-redundant exogenous explanatory variable. Surprisingly, the large-sample and small-disturbance asymptotic…

可能存在弱工具变量的线性结构模型中的投影统计推断AI 解读

It is well known that standard asymptotic theory is not applicable or is very unreliable in models with identification problems or weak instruments. One possible way out consists of using a variant of the Anderson–Rubin ((1949), AR) procedure. The latter allows one to build exact tests and confidence sets only for the full vector of the coefficients of the endogenous explanatory variables in a structural equation, but not for individual coefficients. This problem may in…

逐步多重检验：将数据窥探形式化AI 解读

In econometric applications, often several hypothesis tests are carried out at once. The problem then becomes how to decide which hypotheses to reject, accounting for the multitude of tests. This paper suggests a stepwise multiple testing procedure that asymptotically controls the familywise error rate. Compared to related single-step methods, the procedure is more powerful and often will reject more false hypotheses. In addition, we advocate the use of studentization when…

最大得分估计量的 BootstrapAI 解读

This paper shows that the bootstrap does not consistently estimate the asymptotic distribution of the maximum score estimator. The theory developed also applies to other estimators within a cube-root convergence class. For some single-parameter estimators in this class, the results suggest a simple method for inference based upon the bootstrap.

不假定参数已识别的 GMM 参数检验AI 解读

We propose a generalized method of moments (GMM) Lagrange multiplier statistic, i.e., the K statistic, that uses a Jacobian estimator based on the continuous updating estimator that is asymptotically uncorrelated with the sample average of the moments. Its asymptotic χ-super-2 distribution therefore holds under a wider set of circumstances, like weak instruments, than the standard full rank case for the expected Jacobian under which the asymptotic χ-super-2 distributions of…

波动率长记忆的估计AI 解读

We consider semiparametric estimation of the memory parameter in a model that includes as special cases both long-memory stochastic volatility and fractionally integrated exponential GARCH (FIEGARCH) models. Under our general model the logarithms of the squared returns can be decomposed into the sum of a long-memory signal and a white noise. We consider periodogram-based estimators using a local Whittle criterion function. We allow the optional inclusion of an additional…

动态似不相关协整回归AI 解读

We propose the parametric Dynamic Seemingly Unrelated Regression (DSUR) estimator for simultaneous estimation of multiple cointegrating regressions. DSUR is efficient when the equilibrium errors are correlated across equations and is applicable for panel cointegration estimation in environments where the cross section is small relative to the available time series. We study the asymptotic and small sample properties of the DSUR estimator for both heterogeneous and…

随机效用框架中的参数演化建模AI 解读

Random utility models have become standard econometric tools, allowing parameter inference for individual-level categorical choice data. Such models typically presume that changes in observed choices over time can be attributed to changes in either covariates or unobservables. We study how choice dynamics can be captured more faithfully by also directly modeling temporal changes in parameters, using a vector autoregressive process and Bayesian estimation. This approach…

汇率与马尔可夫状态转换动态AI 解读

This article presents a systematic and extensive empirical study on the presence of Markov switching dynamics in three dollar-based exchange rates. A Monte Carlo approach is adopted to circumvent the statistical inference problem inherent to the test of regime-switching behavior. Two data frequencies, two sample periods, and various specifications are considered. Quarterly data yield inconclusive evidence; the test rejects neither random walk nor Markov switching. Monthly…

水平跃迁与经济时间序列中的长记忆假象AI 解读

When applied to time series processes containing occasional level shifts, the log-periodogram (GPH) estimator often erroneously finds long memory. For a stationary short-memory process with a slowly varying level, I show that the GPH estimator is substantially biased, and derive an approximation to this bias. The asymptotic bias lies on the (0, 1) interval, and its exact value depends on the ratio of the expected number of level shifts to a user-defined bandwidth parameter.…

Bass扩散模型的计量经济学问题AI 解读

The parsimonious Bass diffusion model is frequently used to forecast adoptions of new products and to compare the life cycles of specific products across countries. To meet these goals, reliable parameter estimates are needed. We develop the asymptotic theory for the three key parameters in the Bass model. For this purpose, we need to make assumptions about the stochastic error process. On doing so, we arrive at an alternative version of the Bass model than the one usually…

阿夫里亚特不等式违背的显著性检验AI 解读

Two new nonparametric procedures are developed to evaluate the significance of violations of revealed preference found by standard nonstochastic tests. Our tests with high probability correctly detect utility maximization for data generated with measurement error. The procedures are not very sensitive to misspecifying the amount of error that could have caused the data to violate revealed preference. The tests have power against an alternative of random behavior. Both tests…

马尔可夫切换因果性与货币—产出关系AI 解读

Abstract The causal link between monetary variables and output is one of the most studied issues in macroeconomics. One puzzle from this literature is that the results of causality tests appear to be sensitive with respect to the sample period that one considers. As a way of overcoming this difficulty, we propose a method for analysing Granger causality which is based on a vector autoregressive model with time‐varying parameters. We model parameter time‐variation so as to…

日本低利率政策下货币需求估计的总量与分项分析悖论AI 解读

Abstract We use Japanese aggregate and disaggregate money demand data to show that conflicting inferences can arise. The aggregate data appears to support the contention that there was no stable money demand function. The disaggregate data shows that there was a stable money demand function. Neither was there any indication of the presence of a liquidity trap. Possible sources of discrepancy are explored and the diametrically opposite results between the aggregate and…

删失加速失效时间模型秩估计量的经验似然分析AI 解读

We use the empirical likelihood method to derive a test and thus a confidence interval based on the rank estimators of the regression coefficient in the accelerated failure time model. Standard chi-squared distributions are used to calculate the p-value and to construct the confidence interval. Simulations and examples show that the chi-squared approximation to the distribution of the log empirical likelihood ratio performs well, and has some advantages over the existing…

ARCH(1) 误差下 AR(1) 过程的加权最小绝对偏差估计AI 解读

The weighted least absolute deviations estimator is studied for an AR(1) process with ARCH(1) errors εt. Unlike for the quasi maximum likelihood estimator, the estimator's, limiting distribution is shown to be normal even when E(εt4) = ∞. Furthermore, the estimator can be applied to examine the symmetry of the density of εt and to estimate the quantity E(log |α + λ½ εt|), which are of crucial importance for conducting asymptotic inference for quasi maximum likelihood…

用均值估计方程分析簇大小不可忽略的簇相关数据AI 解读

Most methods for analysing cluster-correlated biological data implicitly assume the ignorability of cluster sizes. When this assumption fails, the resulting inferences may be asymptotically invalid. Hoffman et al. (2001) proposed a simple but computationally intensive method, based on a large number of within-cluster resamples and associated separate estimating equations, that leads to asymptotically valid inferences whether the cluster sizes are ignorable or not. We study a…

多元失效时间数据的变量选择AI 解读

In this paper, we proposed a penalised pseudo-partial likelihood method for variable selection with multivariate failure time data with a growing number of regression coefficients. Under certain regularity conditions, we show the consistency and asymptotic normality of the penalised likelihood estimators. We further demonstrate that, for certain penalty functions with proper choices of regularisation parameters, the resulting estimator can correctly identify the true model,…

删失两样本问题中治疗效应的经验似然半参数推断AI 解读

To compare two samples of censored data, we propose a unified semiparametric inference for the parameter of interest when the model for one sample is parametric and that for the other is nonparametric. The parameter of interest may represent, for example, a comparison of means, or survival probabilities. The confidence interval derived from the semiparametric inference, which is based on the empirical likelihood principle, improves its counterpart constructed from the common…
