条件异方差模型的新型皮尔逊准极大似然估计AI 解读

This article proposes a novel Pearson-type quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) of GARCH(p, q) models. Unlike the existing Gaussian QMLE, Laplacian QMLE, generalized non-Gaussian QMLE, or LAD estimator, our Pearsonian QMLE (PQMLE) captures not just the heavy-tailed but also the skewed innovations. Under strict stationarity and some weak moment conditions, the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the PQMLE are obtained. With no further efforts, the PQMLE can be…

基于数据扰动的自适应建模程序选择AI 解读

Many procedures have been developed to deal with the high-dimensional problem that is emerging in various business and economics areas. To evaluate and compare these procedures, modeling uncertainty caused by model selection and parameter estimation has to be assessed and integrated into a modeling process. To do this, a data perturbation method estimates the modeling uncertainty inherited in a selection process by perturbing the data. Critical to data perturbation is the…

用于检验两组多变量时间序列独立性与因果关系的交叉相关矩阵AI 解读

An often-studied problem in time series analysis is that of testing for the independence of two (potentially multivariate) time series. Toeplitz matrices have demonstrated utility for the related setting of time series goodness-of-fit testing—ergo, herein, we extend those concepts by defining a nontrivial block Toeplitz matrix for use in the setting of independence testing. We propose test statistics based on the trace of the square of the matrix and determinant of the…

具有固定效应的异质面板半参数模型AI 解读

This paper develops methodology for semiparametric panel data models in a setting where both the time series and the cross section are large. Such settings are common in finance and other areas of economics. Our model allows for heterogeneous nonparametric covariate effects as well as unobserved time and individual specific effects that may depend on the covariates in an arbitrary way. To model the covariate effects parsimoniously, we impose a dimensionality reducing common…

含弱外生解释变量的异质动态面板共同相关效应估计AI 解读

This paper extends the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) approach developed by Pesaran (2006) to heterogeneous panel data models with lagged dependent variables and/or weakly exogenous regressors. We show that the CCE mean group estimator continues to be valid but the following two conditions must be satisfied to deal with the dynamics: a sufficient number of lags of cross section averages must be included in individual equations of the panel, and the number of cross section…

固定效应面板非参数回归AI 解读

Nonparametric regression is developed for data with both a temporal and a cross-sectional dimension. The model includes additive, unknown, individual-specific components and allows also for cross-sectional and temporal dependence and conditional heteroscedasticity. A simple nonparametric estimate is shown to be dominated by a GLS-type one. Asymptotically optimal bandwidth choices are justified for both estimates. Feasible optimal bandwidths, and feasible optimal regression…

动态 Copula 的隐马尔可夫结构AI 解读

Understanding the time series dynamics of a multi-dimensional dependency structure is a challenging task. Multivariate covariance driven Gaussian or mixed normal time varying models have only a limited ability to capture important features of the data such as heavy tails, asymmetry, and nonlinear dependencies. The present paper tackles this problem by proposing and analyzing a hidden Markov model (HMM) for hierarchical Archimedean copulae (HAC). The HAC constitute a wide…

零常返时间序列中非参数估计量的一致收敛AI 解读

This paper establishes uniform consistency results for nonparametric kernel density and regression estimators when time series regressors concerned are nonstationary null recurrent Markov chains. Under suitable regularity conditions, we derive uniform convergence rates of the estimators. Our results can be viewed as a nonstationary extension of some well-known uniform consistency results for stationary time series.

非平稳解释变量预测回归中的不稳定性检验AI 解读

It is well known that allowing the coefficients to be time-varying in a predictive model with possibly nonstationary regressors can help to deal with instability in predictability associated with linear predictive models. In this paper, an L 2 -type test statistic is proposed to test the stability of the coefficient vector, and the asymptotic distributions of the proposed test statistic are developed under both null and alternative hypotheses. A Monte Carlo experiment is…

非线性自回归模型的参数设定检验AI 解读

The paper considers testing parametric assumptions on the conditional mean and variance functions for nonlinear autoregressive models. To this end, we compare the kernel density estimate of the marginal density of the process with a convolution-type density estimate. It is shown that, interestingly, the latter estimate has a parametric $\left( {\sqrt n } \right)$ rate of convergence, thus substantially improving the classical kernel density estimates whose rates of…

动态因子模型中的参数不稳定性检验AI 解读

In this paper, we develop tests for structural breaks of factor loadings in dynamic factor models. We focus on the joint null hypothesis that all factor loadings are constant over time. Because the number of factor loading parameters goes to infinity as the sample size grows, conventional tests cannot be used. Based on the fact that the presence of a structural change in factor loadings yields a structural change in second moments of factors obtained from the full sample…

基于最优检验的结构断点日期置信集AI 解读

In this paper, we propose constructing a confidence set for the date of a one‐time structural change using a point optimal test. Following Elliott and Müller (2007, Journal of Econometrics 141, 1196–1218), we first construct a test for the break date that maximizes the weighted average of the power function. The confidence set is then obtained by inverting the test statistic. We carefully choose the weights and show by Monte Carlo simulations that the confidence set based on…

N 固定时校正横截面依赖的新型面板协整检验AI 解读

In this paper, we propose new cointegration tests for single equations and panels. In both cases, the asymptotic distributions of the tests, which are derived with N fixed and T→∞, are shown to be standard normals. The effects of serial correlation and cross‐sectional dependence are mopped out via long‐run variances. An effective bias correction is derived, which is shown to work well in finite samples, particularly when N is smaller than T. Our panel tests are robust to…

空间自回归Tobit模型的最大似然估计AI 解读

This paper examines a Tobit model with spatial autoregressive interactions. We consider the maximum likelihood estimation for this model and analyze asymptotic properties of the estimator based on the spatial near-epoch dependence of the dependent variable process generated from the model structure. We show that the maximum likelihood estimator is consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. Monte Carlo experiments are performed to verify finite sample properties of…

自回归分布滞后框架中的分位数协整AI 解读

Xiao (2009) develops a novel estimation technique for quantile cointegrated time series by extending Phillips and Hansen’s (1990) semiparametric approach and Saikkonen’s (1991) parametrically augmented approach. This paper extends Pesaran and Shin’s (1998) autoregressive distributed-lag approach into quantile regression by jointly analyzing short-run dynamics and long-run cointegrating relationships across a range of quantiles. We derive the asymptotic theory and provide a…

利用短面板估计异质自回归参数的截面分布AI 解读

This paper presents a maximum likelihood approach to estimation of cross sectional distributions of heterogeneous autoregressive (AR) parameters with short panel data. We construct a panel likelihood by integrating the unknown cross sectional density of heterogeneous AR parameters with respect to a known time-series data generating kernel. The solution to this extremal criterion recovers the unknown density of heterogeneous AR parameters. Applying our method to a model of…

加性模型的设定与结构突变检验及其已实现方差应用AI 解读

We study two types of testing problems in a nonparametric additive model setting: We develop methods to test (i) whether an additive component function has a given parametric form and (ii) whether an additive component has a structural break. We apply the theory to a nonparametric extension of the linear heterogeneous autoregressive model which is widely employed to describe realized variance data. We find that the linearity assumption is often rejected, but actual…

广义密度预测组合AI 解读

Density forecast combinations are becoming increasingly popular as a means of improving forecast ‘accuracy’, as measured by a scoring rule. In this paper we generalise this literature by letting the combination weights follow more general schemes. Sieve estimation is used to optimise the score of the generalised density combination where the combination weights depend on the variable one is trying to forecast. Specific attention is paid to the use of piecewise linear weight…

模型误设下的结构突变模型及其预测含义AI 解读

This paper revisits the least squares estimator of the linear regression with a structural break. We view the model as an approximation to the true data generating process whose exact nature is unknown but perhaps changing over time either continuously or with some jumps. This view is widely held in the forecasting literature and under this view, the time series dependence property of all the observed variables is unstable as well. We establish that the rate of convergence…

分数单整过程筛法 Bootstrap 的高阶改进AI 解读

This paper investigates the accuracy of bootstrap-based inference in the case of long memory fractionally integrated processes. The re-sampling method is based on the semi-parametric sieve, whereby the dynamics in the process used to produce the bootstrap draws are captured by an autoregressive approximation. Application of the sieve method to data pre-filtered by a semi-parametric estimate of the long memory parameter is also explored. Higher-order improvements yielded by…

理解面板单位根检验局部渐近功效的新工具AI 解读

Motivated by the previously documented discrepancy between actual and predicted power, the present paper provides new tools for analyzing the local asymptotic power of panel unit root tests. These tools are appropriate in general when considering panel data with a dominant autoregressive root of the form ρi=1+ciN−κT−τ, where i=1,…,N indexes the cross-sectional units, T is the number of time periods and ci is a random local-to-unity parameter. A limit theory for the sample…

分位数回归的刀切法模型平均AI 解读

In this paper we consider model averaging for quantile regressions (QR) when all models under investigation are potentially misspecified and the number of parameters is diverging with the sample size. To allow for the dependence between the error terms and regressors in the QR models, we propose a jackknife model averaging (JMA) estimator which selects the weights by minimizing a leave-one-out cross-validation criterion function and demonstrate its asymptotic optimality in…

指数期权中蕴含的风险溢价AI 解读

We study the dynamic relation between market risks and risk premia using time series of index option surfaces. We find that priced left tail risk cannot be spanned by market volatility (and its components) and introduce a new tail factor. This tail factor has no incremental predictive power for future volatility and jump risks, beyond current and past volatility, but is critical in predicting future market equity and variance risk premia. Our findings suggest a wide wedge…

用相互激发跳跃过程建模金融传染AI 解读

We propose a model to capture the dynamics of asset returns, with periods of crises that are characterized by contagion. In the model, a jump in one region of the world increases the intensity of jumps both in the same region (self-excitation) as well as in other regions (cross-excitation), generating episodes of highly clustered jumps across world markets that mimic the observed features of the data. We develop and implement moment-based estimation and testing procedures…
