动态已实现最小方差投资组合模型AI 解读

This article introduces a dynamic minimum variance portfolio (MVP) model using nonlinear volatility dynamic models, based on high-frequency financial data. Specifically, we impose an autoregressive dynamic structure on MVP processes, which helps capture the MVP dynamics directly. To evaluate the dynamic MVP model, we estimate the inverse volatility matrix using the constrained l1-minimization for inverse matrix estimation (CLIME) and calculate daily realized non-normalized…

利用多国非参数分位数因子模型研究增长风险AI 解读

We develop a nonparametric quantile panel regression model.Within each quantile, the quantile function is a combination of linear and nonlinear parts, which we approximate using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART).Cross-sectional information is captured through a conditionally heteroscedastic latent factor.The nonparametric feature enhances flexibility, while the panel feature increases the number of observations in the tails.We develop Bayesian methods for inference…

高维资产条件因子模型中 alpha 的自适应检验AI 解读

This article focuses on testing for the presence of alpha in time-varying factor pricing models, specifically when the number of securities N is larger than the time dimension of the return series T. We introduce a maximum-type test that performs well in scenarios where the alternative hypothesis is sparse. We establish the limit null distribution of the proposed maximum-type test statistic and demonstrate its asymptotic independence from the sum-type test statistics…

预测能力相等的最大子抽样检验AI 解读

In comparing the accuracy of any two competing forecasts, under the assumption that the loss differentials are covariance stationary, Diebold and Mariano (DM) proposed a test statistic that is asymptotically normal. This test is further studied by Giacomini and White (GW). However, under the DM-GW framework, the estimator of the variance of the DM test can be inaccurate in small samples, which yields size distortions; see, for example, Coroneo and Iacone (CI). To alleviate…

结果条件平均结构导数的识别与自动去偏机器学习AI 解读

This study proposes a new class of heterogeneous causal quantities, referred to as outcome-conditioned average structural derivatives (OASDs), in a general nonseparable model. An OASD is the average partial effect of a marginal change in a continuous treatment on individuals located on different parts of an outcome distribution, irrespective of individuals’ characteristics. We show that OASDs extend the unconditional quantile partial effects (UQPE) proposed by Firpo, Fortin,…

有界时间序列中多重水平变动的检测AI 解读

The article proposes a sequential statistical procedure to test for the presence of level shifts affecting bounded time series, regardless of their order of integration. The article shows that bounds are relevant for the statistic that assumes that the time series are integrated of order one. In contrast, they do not affect the limiting distribution of the statistic that is defined for time series that are integrated of order zero. The article proposes a union rejection…

自回归依赖回归中基于变量选择的参数变化检验AI 解读

We consider a regression model with autoregressive terms and propose significance tests for the detection of change points in this model. Our tests are applicable to both low- or moderate dimension and to high-dimension with sparse regressors. The dimension may be high from the practical point of view of economic and business applications, but in our theoretical framework it is fixed. To accommodate practically high dimension, variable selection is incorporated as an…

使用组别交互固定效应多层回归模型进行政策分析AI 解读

The use of multilevel regression models is prevalent in policy analysis to estimate the effect of group level policies on individual outcomes. In order to allow for the time varying effect of group heterogeneity and the group specific impact of time effects, we propose a group interactive fixed effects approach that employs interaction terms of group factor loadings and common factors in this model. For this approach, we consider the least squares estimator and associated…

双重差分估计中处理前趋势的等价性检验AI 解读

The plausibility of the “parallel trends assumption” in Difference-in-Differences estimation is usually assessed by a test of the null hypothesis that the difference between the average outcomes of both groups is constant over time before the treatment. However, failure to reject the null hypothesis does not imply the absence of differences in time trends between both groups. We provide equivalence tests that allow researchers to find evidence in favor of the parallel trends…

多变量鞅差假设的广义谱检验AI 解读

This study proposes new generalized spectral tests for multivariate martingale difference hypotheses, specifically geared toward high-dimensionality scenarios where the dimension of the time series is comparable or even larger than the sample size in practice. We develop an asymptotic theory and a valid wild bootstrapping procedure for the new test statistics, in which the dimension of the time series is fixed. We demonstrate that a bias-reduced version of the test…

部分线性空间自回归模型的模型检验AI 解读

This article proposes two new classes of nonparametric tests for the correct specification of linear spatial autoregressive models based on the “integrated conditional moment” approach. Our test statistics are constructed as continuous functionals of a residual marked empirical process as well as its projected version. We derive asymptotic properties of the test statistics under the null hypothesis, the alternative hypothesis, and a sequence of local alternatives. The…

异质竞标者第一价格拍卖的非参数识别与推断AI 解读

In the auction literature, it is well established that bidders’ asymmetry plays an important role in determining auction revenues. In this article, we propose a nonparametric methodology to analyze first-price auctions with two popularly adopted asymmetries: heterogeneous risk preferences and asymmetric value distributions. We find that the two competing models provide distinct implications for the bid distributions conditional on heterogeneity. By modeling bidders’…

流式数据的无条件分位数回归AI 解读

The Unconditional Quantile Regression (UQR) method, initially introduced by Firpo et al. has gained significant traction as a popular approach for modeling and analyzing data.However, much like Conditional Quantile Regression (CQR), UQR encounters computational challenges when it comes to obtaining parameter estimates for streaming datasets.This is attributed to the involvement of unknown parameters in the logistic regression loss function used in UQR, which presents…

含交互固定效应的异质动态面板模型：Oracle 有效估计AI 解读

We propose a two-step procedure to estimate a heterogeneous dynamic panel data model with interactive fixed effects. We establish the asymptotic properties of the estimators and show that the final estimator is oracle efficient. We also propose a specification test for the null hypothesis of homogeneous slopes and study the asymptotic properties of the test statistic under both local and global alternatives. Simulations demonstrate the fine performance of the estimator and…

共同因子生成横截面依赖的高斯面板中渐近一致最强的单位根检验AI 解读

This paper considers testing for unit roots in Gaussian panels with cross-sectional dependence generated by common factors. Within our setup, we can analyze restricted versions of the two prevalent approaches in the literature, that of Moon and Perron (2004, Journal of Econometrics 122, 81–126), who specify a factor model for the innovations, and the PANIC setup proposed in Bai and Ng (2004, Econometrica 72, 1127–1177), who test common factors and idiosyncratic deviations…

条件异方差下线性工具变量回归的强功效子向量 Anderson–Rubin 检验AI 解读

We introduce a new test for a two-sided hypothesis involving a subset of the structural parameter vector in the linear instrumental variables (IVs) model. Guggenberger, Kleibergen, and Mavroeidis (2019, Quantitative Economics , 10, 487–526; hereafter GKM19) introduce a subvector Anderson–Rubin (AR) test with data-dependent critical values that has asymptotic size equal to nominal size for a parameter space that allows for arbitrary strength or weakness of the IVs and has…

内生门槛回归的新控制函数方法AI 解读

This paper studies control function (CF) approaches in endogenous threshold regression where the threshold variable is allowed to be endogenous. We first use a simple example to show that the structural threshold regression (STR) estimator of the threshold point in Kourtellos, Stengos and Tan (2016, Econometric Theory 32, 827–860) is inconsistent unless the endogeneity level of the threshold variable is low compared to the threshold effect. We correct the CF in the STR…

空间自回归模型的一致非高斯伪极大似然估计AI 解读

This paper studies the non-Gaussian pseudo maximum likelihood (PML) estimation of a spatial autoregressive (SAR) model with SAR disturbances. If the spatial weights matrix $M_{n}$ for the SAR disturbances is normalized to have row sums equal to 1 or the model reduces to a SAR model with no SAR process of disturbances, the non-Gaussian PML estimator (NGPMLE) for model parameters except the intercept term and the variance $\sigma _{0}^{2}$ of independent and identically…

混合识别强度下的相关矩条件选择AI 解读

This paper proposes a robust moment selection method aiming to pick the best model even if this is a moment condition model with mixed identification strength, that is, moment conditions including moment functions that are local to zero uniformly over the parameter set. We show that the relevant moment selection procedure of Hall et al. (2007, Journal of Econometrics 138, 488–512) is inconsistent in this setting as it does not explicitly account for the rate of convergence…

任意阶自回归模型中近乎有效的单位根似然比检验AI 解读

We study large sample properties of likelihood ratio tests of the unit-root hypothesis in an autoregressive model of arbitrary order. Earlier research on this testing problem has developed likelihood ratio tests in the autoregressive model of order 1, but resorted to a plug-in approach when dealing with higher-order models. In contrast, we consider the full model and derive the relevant large sample properties of likelihood ratio tests under a local-to-unity asymptotic…

非随机缺失下的矩阵补全及其在因果面板模型中的应用AI 解读

This paper develops an inferential framework for matrix completion when missing is not at random and without the requirement of strong signals. Our development is based on the observation that if the number of missing entries is small enough compared to the panel size, then they can be estimated well even when missing is not at random. Taking advantage of this fact, we divide the missing entries into smaller groups and estimate each group via nuclear norm regularization. In…

时间效应存在序列相关时的双向聚类标准误AI 解读

Abstract We propose improved standard errors and an asymptotic theory for two-way clustered panels. Our theory allow for arbitrary serial dependence in the common time effects, which is excluded by existing two-way methods. Our asymptotic distribution theory is the first which allows for this level of inter-dependence. Under weak conditions, we demonstrate that OLS is asymptotically normal, our proposed variance estimator is consistent, and t-ratios are asymptotically…

稀疏趋势估计AI 解读

Abstract The low-frequency movements of economic variables play a prominent role in policy analysis and decision-making. We develop a robust estimation approach for these slow-moving trend processes which is guided by a judicious choice of priors and is characterized by sparsity. We present novel stylized facts from longer-run survey expectations that inform the structure of the estimation procedure. The general version of the proposed Bayesian estimator with a…
