经济脆弱性具有状态依赖性AI 解读

Summary A novel dynamic model for joint estimation of multiple quantiles of a time series conditionally on a set of covariates is presented. The model preserves quantile monotonicity and allows for a clear interpretation of covariate effects across quantiles. Model parameters are estimated using a two-step M-estimator. The resulting estimator is consistent, and its finite sample properties are analyzed through simulations. The new model is used to study the impact of…

固定效应非参数面板模型的一致推断AI 解读

This article studies uniform inference on a function $g(\cdot )$ and its functionals in a nonparametric panel data model with fixed effects. The nonparametric panel model relaxes restrictions on time-series behavior by allowing for arbitrary types of stationary or nonstationary dependence (e.g., stationary mixingale, mildly stationary, or local-to-unity process). After removing the fixed effects via transformations, a sieve estimator is proposed, accompanied by Yurinskii’s…

多变量波动率结构变化的符号检验AI 解读

This paper proposes sign-based CUSUM and QS tests for structural changes in multivariate volatility using least absolute deviation (LAD) regression. These tests offer the advantage of relaxing moment conditions and providing greater robustness against various heavy-tailed innovations. To address potential power losses in the two basic statistics due to inaccurate estimation of the long-run variance (LRV) under alternatives, the paper then proposes two modified statistics…

资产收益与期权需求的条件密度比模型估计AI 解读

Option-implied risk-neutral densities are widely used for constructing forward-looking risk measures. Meanwhile, risk aversion introduces a multiplicative pricing kernel between the risk-neutral and true conditional densities of the underlying asset’s return. This paper proposes a simple local estimator of the pricing kernel based on inverse density weighting. We characterize the asymptotic bias and variance of the estimator and its multiplicatively corrected density…

卷积 t 分布AI 解读

We introduce a family of multivariate heavy-tailed distributions, termed convolution-t distributions, constructed as convolutions of heterogeneous multivariate t-distributions. Unlike commonly used heavy-tailed distributions, this family captures nonlinear dependencies, accommodates heterogeneous marginal distributions, and reveals cluster structures prevalent in economic data. Importantly, convolution-t distributions admit simple closed-form densities that facilitate…

张量数据的扩散指数预测AI 解读

In this paper, we consider diffusion index forecasting with both tensor and non-tensor predictors, where the tensor structure is preserved with a Canonical Polyadic (CP) tensor factor model. When the number of non-tensor predictors is small, we study the asymptotic properties of the least squares estimator in this tensor factor-augmented regression, allowing for factors with different strengths. We derive an analytical formula for prediction intervals that accounts for the…

波动率究竟是粗糙性还是长记忆？AI 解读

We develop a framework for composite likelihood estimation of parametric continuous-time stationary Gaussian processes. We derive the asymptotic theory of the associated maximum composite likelihood estimator. We implement our approach on a pair of models that have been proposed to describe the random log-spot variance of financial asset returns. A simulation study shows that it delivers good performance in these settings and improves upon a method-of-moments estimation. In…

高维条件因子模型AI 解读

This paper studies estimation and variable selection in conditional factor models with high-dimensional instruments, where the coefficient matrix exhibits a low-rank and row-sparse structure. We propose a multi-stage estimation procedure that combines nuclear norm regularization and adaptive group LASSO regression to consistently estimate latent factors and row-sparse loading coefficients, while selecting relevant instrumental characteristics. We establish theoretical…

重印：融合交易信息的高频数据非参数估计AI 解读

We propose nonparametric estimators for the explicative part of the noise in a model where the market microstructure noise is an unknown function of the trading information while allowing for the presence of an additional residual noise component. Our method allows for dependence in the observable trading information and accommodates the presence of infinite variation jumps in the efficient price process. We establish the convergence and asymptotic normality of the proposed…

时间变换扩散模型中已实现方差估计的高效抽样AI 解读

This paper analyzes the benefits of sampling intraday returns in intrinsic time for the realized variance (RV) estimator. We theoretically show in finite samples that depending on the permitted sampling information, the RV estimator is most efficient under either hitting time sampling that samples whenever the price changes by a pre-determined threshold, or under the new concept of realized business time that samples according to a combination of observed trades and…

定制已实现波动率：面向波动率预测的风险度量AI 解读

Standard realized volatility (RV) measures estimate the latent volatility of an asset price using high frequency data with no reference to how or where the estimate will subsequently be used. This paper presents methods for “tailoring” the estimate of volatility to the application in which it will be used. For example, if the volatility measure will be used in a specific parametric forecasting model, it may be possible to exploit that knowledge to construct a better measure…

多元已实现 GARCH 模型AI 解读

We propose a novel class of multivariate GARCH models that incorporate realized measures of volatility and correlations. The key innovation is an unconstrained vector parametrization of the conditional correlation matrix, which enables the use of factor models for correlations. This approach elegantly addresses the main challenge faced by multivariate GARCH models in high-dimensional settings. As an illustration, we explore block correlation matrices that naturally simplify…

已实现协方差度量的概率分布AI 解读

Realized covariance measures (RCs) are an essential input for assessing the risks of different investment allocations. Thus, it is useful to model and forecast them. To this end, a realistic distributional assumption is needed. In this paper, we compare all probability distributions that have so far in the literature been applied to time-series of RCs. We derive them in a unified framework based on their stochastic representations using random lower and upper triangular…

一致最小方差无偏分块估计量AI 解读

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for an (Unbiased) Block estimator to have Uniformly Minimum Variance. Our theory parallels the theory of UMVU estimation, the main novel insight being the focus on the covariance among blocks. We use this theory to derive lower variance bounds for block estimators of functionals of high-frequency volatility when the block size is fixed. We further show the relevance of the new theory for the classical problem of estimation of…

稳健的已实现积分贝塔估计及其动态分析AI 解读

In this paper, we develop a robust non-parametric realized integrated beta estimator using high-frequency financial data contaminated by microstructure noise, which is robust to the stylized features, such as the time-varying beta and the price-dependent and autocorrelated microstructure noise. With this robust realized integrated beta estimator, we investigate dynamic structures of integrated betas and find a persistent autoregressive structure. To model this dynamic…

已实现漂移AI 解读

Drift and volatility are two mainsprings of asset price dynamics. While volatilities have been studied extensively in the literature, drifts are commonly believed to be impossible to estimate and largely ignored in the literature. This paper shows how to detect drift using realized autocovariance implemented on high-frequency data. We use a theoretical treatment in which the classical model for the efficient price, an Itō semimartingale possibly contaminated by…

利用短期期权估计日内波动率模式AI 解读

We propose a nonparametric estimator for the deterministic periodic component of volatility from short-dated options within an in-fill asymptotic setting. The estimator uses options with zero and one day to expiration sampled at high-frequency during a trading day. At each point in time, we aggregate the options to form nonparametric estimates of conditional risk-neutral expectations of future integrated return variation for the two available option tenors. A suitable ratio…

积分波动率与瞬时波动率的稳健估计AI 解读

We introduce a new method to estimate the integrated volatility (IV) and the spot volatility (SV) based on noisy high-frequency data. Our method employs the ReMeDI approach introduced by Li and Linton (2022) to estimate the moments of microstructure noise and thereby eliminate their influence, and the pre-averaging method to target the volatility parameter. The method is robust: it can be applied when the efficient price exhibits stochastic volatility and jumps, the…

天然气价格的实时预测AI 解读

ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the forecastability of the real price of natural gas in the United States at the monthly frequency considering a universe of models that differ in complexity and economic content. We find that considerable reductions in mean‐squared prediction error relative to a no‐change benchmark can be achieved in real time for horizons of up to 2 years. A particularly promising model is a vector autoregressive (VAR) model that…

利用可能相依冲击的非高斯性识别结构向量自回归AI 解读

Summary We complement previous partial global identification results for the non-Gaussian structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model by showing that in the absence of co-skewness among the strucural shocks, the skewed shocks are identified and in the absence of excess co-kurtosis, the shocks with non-zero excess kurtosis are identified. The former case has the advantage that dependent conditional heteroskedasticity is allowed for. In each case, the remaining shocks are…

动态协变量平衡：利用潜在结果局部投影估计跨期处理效应AI 解读

Abstract This article concerns the estimation and inference of treatment effects in panel data settings when treatments change dynamically over time. We propose a balancing method that allows for (i) treatments to be assigned dynamically over time based on high-dimensional covariates, past outcomes and treatments; (ii) outcomes and time-varying covariates to depend on the trajectory of all past treatments; and (iii) heterogeneity of treatment effects. Our approach…

空间自回归模型的稳健估计AI 解读

This article proposes and studies two Huber-type estimation approaches, namely, the Huber instrumental variable (IV) estimation and the Huber generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation, for a spatial autoregressive model. We establish the consistency, asymptotic distributions, finite sample breakdown points, and influence functions of these estimators. Simulation studies show that compared to the corresponding traditional estimators (the two-stage least squares…

函数系数回归与气候敏感性分析的新渐近理论AI 解读

A general asymptotic theory is established for sample cross moments of nonstationary time series, allowing for long-range dependence and local unit roots. The theory provides a substantial extension of earlier results on nonparametric regression that include near-cointegrated nonparametric regression as well as spurious nonparametric regression. Many new models are covered by the limit theory, among which are functional coefficient regressions in which both regressors and…

利用计算几何联系进行在线多元变点检测AI 解读

Abstract The increasing volume of data streams poses significant computational challenges for detecting changepoints online. Likelihood-based methods are effective, but a naive sequential implementation becomes impractical online due to high computational costs. We develop an online algorithm that exactly calculates the likelihood ratio test for a single changepoint in p-dimensional data streams by leveraging a fascinating connection with computational geometry. This…
