局部投影脉冲响应估计量有多可靠？AI 解读

We compare the finite-sample performance of impulse response confidence intervals based on local projections (LPs) and vector autoregressive (VAR) models in linear stationary settings. We find that in small samples, the asymptotic LP interval often is less accurate than the bias-adjusted bootstrap VAR interval, notwithstanding its excessive average length. Although the asymptotic LP interval has adequate coverage in sufficiently large samples, its average length still far…

构成变化的预测者面板中宏观预测时间变化的评估AI 解读

Abstract This paper calls attention to the problem of changing panel composition in surveys of forecasters and documents the problem in the Survey of Professional Forecasters. To study the temporal variation of forecasts, we recommend analysis of the time series of predictions made by individual forecasters. This makes transparent the heterogeneity of the panel and avoids improper inferences due to changing panel composition. In the absence of knowledge of the process…

次贷危机期间金融泡沫起止时间的测定AI 解读

A new recursive regression methodology is introduced to analyze the bubble characteristics of various financial time series during the subprime crisis. The methods modify a technique proposed in Phillips, Wu, and Yu (2011) and provide a technology for identifying bubble behavior with consistent dating of their origination and collapse. The tests serve as an early warning diagnostic of bubble activity and a new procedure is introduced for testing bubble migration across…

美国经济对能源价格上涨与下跌的反应是否不对称？AI 解读

How much does real gross domestic product (GDP) respond to unanticipated changes in the real price of oil? Commonly used censored oil price vector autoregressive models suggest a substantial decline in real GDP in response to unexpected increases in the real price of oil, yet no response to unexpected declines. We show that these estimates are invalid. Based on a structural model that encompasses both symmetric and asymmetric models as special cases, correctly computed…

概率预测的评价AI 解读

Probability forecasts of events are routinely used in climate predictions, in forecasting default probabilities on bank loans or in estimating the probability of a patient’s positive response to treatment. Scoring rules have long been used to assess the efficacy of the forecast probabilities after observing the occurrence, or nonoccurrence, of the predicted events. We develop herein a statistical theory for scoring rules and propose an alternative approach to the evaluation…

位置移动下的非参数回归AI 解读

Recent work by Wang and Phillips (2009b, 2011) has shown that ill‐posed inverse problems do not arise in non‐stationary non‐parametric regression and there is no need for non‐parametric instrumental variable estimation. Instead, simple Nadaraya–Watson non‐parametric estimation of a cointegrating regression equation is consistent irrespective of the endogeneity in the regressor. The present paper shows that some closely related results apply in the case of structural…

时变参数模型中的内生性：联合估计与两步估计AI 解读

In dealing with the problem of endogeneity in a time‐varying parameter model, we develop the joint and two‐step estimation procedures based on the control function approach. We show that a key to the success of the joint estimation procedure is in an appropriate state‐space representation of the model. On the other hand, a correct treatment of the problem of generated regressors plays an important role in our two‐step estimation procedure. Monte Carlo experiments confirm…

扩散模型的半非参数估计与设定错误检验AI 解读

Novel transition-based misspecification tests of semiparametric and fully parametric univariate diffusion models based on the estimators developed in [Kristensen, D., 2010. Pseudo-maximum likelihood estimation in two classes of semiparametric diffusion models. Journal of Econometrics 156, 239-259] are proposed. It is demonstrated that transition-based tests in general lack power in detecting certain departures from the null since they integrate out local features of the…

采用级数方差估计与检验最优平滑参数的稳健趋势推断AI 解读

The paper develops a novel testing procedure for hypotheses on deterministic trends in a multivariate trend stationary model. The trends are estimated by the OLS estimator and the long run variance (LRV) matrix is estimated by a series type estimator with carefully selected basis functions. Regardless of whether the number of basis functions K is fixed or grows with the sample size, the Wald statistic converges to a standard distribution. It is shown that critical values…

横截面相关大面板中共同确定性时间趋势断点的估计AI 解读

This paper develops an estimation procedure for a common deterministic time trend break in large panels. The dependent variable in each equation consists of a deterministic trend and an error term. The deterministic trend is subject to a change in the intercept, slope or both, and the break date is common for all equations. The estimation method is simply minimizing the sum of squared residuals for all possible break dates. Both serial and cross sectional correlations are…

用于跳跃扩散波动率模型估计的已实现拉普拉斯变换AI 解读

We develop an efficient and analytically tractable method for estimation of parametric volatility models that is robust to price-level jumps. The method entails first integrating intra-day data into the Realized Laplace Transform of volatility, which is a model-free estimate of the daily integrated empirical Laplace transform of the unobservable volatility. The estimation is then done by matching moments of the integrated joint Laplace transform with those implied by the…

多变量连续时间模型的广义谱检验AI 解读

We develop an omnibus specification test for multivariate continuous-time models using the conditional characteristic function, which often has a convenient closed-form or can be accurately approximated for many multivariate continuous-time models in finance and economics. The proposed test fully exploits the information in the joint conditional distribution of underlying economic processes and hence is expected to have good power in a multivariate context. A class of…

单整但不协整变量相关性的半参数度量AI 解读

Many macroeconomic and financial variables are integrated of order one (or I(1)) processes and are correlated with each other but not necessarily cointegrated. In this paper, we propose to use a semiparametric varying coefficient approach to model/capture such correlations. We propose two consistent estimators to study the dependence relationship among some integrated but not cointegrated time series variables. Simulations are used to examine the finite sample performances…

多重结构变化下多元模型的模型选择准则AI 解读

This paper considers the issue of selecting the number of regressors and the number of structural breaks in multivariate regression models in the possible presence of multiple structural changes. We develop a modified Akaike information criterion (AIC), a modified Mallows' Cp criterion and a modified Bayesian information criterion (BIC). The penalty terms in these criteria are shown to be different from the usual terms. We prove that the modified BIC consistently selects the…

双曲 GARCH 模型的得分检验AI 解读

Davidson (2004) recently proposed the hyperbolic GARCH model to capture the phenomenon of long-range dependence in volatility, with the extent of such dependence measured by the geometric or hyperbolic decay of the coefficients in an ARCH(∞) model. In this article, we reinterpret the hyperbolic GARCH model by building a link with the common GARCH model, and construct a simplified score test to check the presence of the hyperbolic decay. We derive the asymptotic of the test…

时变波动率与相关性的动态多元厚尾模型AI 解读

We propose a new class of observation-driven time-varying parameter models for dynamic volatilities and correlations to handle time series from heavy-tailed distributions. The model adopts generalized autoregressive score dynamics to obtain a time-varying covariance matrix of the multivariate Student t distribution. The key novelty of our proposed model concerns the weighting of lagged squared innovations for the estimation of future correlations and volatilities. When we…

非平稳半参数模型的数据驱动带宽选择AI 解读

This article extends the asymptotic results of the traditional least squares cross-validatory (CV) bandwidth selection method to semiparametric regression models with nonstationary data. Two main findings are that (a) the CV-selected bandwidth is stochastic even asymptotically and (b) the selected bandwidth based on the local constant method converges to 0 at a different speed than that based on the local linear method. Both findings are in sharp contrast to existing results…

生产函数参数估计的新方法：难以确定的资本—劳动替代弹性AI 解读

Parameters of taste and technology are central to a wide variety of economic models and issues. This article proposes a simple method for estimating production function parameters from panel data, with a particular focus on the elasticity of substitution between capital and labor. Elasticity estimates have varied widely, and a consensus estimate remains elusive. Our estimation strategy exploits long-run variation and thus avoids several pitfalls, including…

波动率函数的倾斜非参数估计及实证应用AI 解读

This article proposes a novel positive nonparametric estimator of the conditional variance function without reliance on logarithmic or other transformations. The estimator is based on an empirical likelihood modification of conventional local-level nonparametric regression applied to squared residuals of the mean regression. The estimator is shown to be asymptotically equivalent to the local linear estimator in the case of unbounded support but, unlike that estimator, is…

时间变换无限活动衍生品定价模型的序贯贝叶斯分析AI 解读

This article investigates time-changed infinite activity derivatives pricing models from the sequential Bayesian perspective. It proposes a sequential Monte Carlo method with the proposal density generated by the unscented Kalman filter. This approach overcomes to a large extent the particle impoverishment problem inherent to the conventional particle filter. Simulation study and real applications indicate that (1) using the underlying alone cannot capture the dynamics of…

用于金融市场风险价值预测的贝叶斯时变分位数模型AI 解读

Recently, advances in time-varying quantile modeling have proven effective in financial Value-at-Risk forecasting. Some well-known dynamic conditional autoregressive quantile models are generalized to a fully nonlinear family. The Bayesian solution to the general quantile regression problem, via the Skewed-Laplace distribution, is adapted and designed for parameter estimation in this model family via an adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling scheme. A simulation study…

自助法辅助的 ARFIMA 模型设定检验AI 解读

This paper proposes bootstrap assisted specification tests for the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average model based on the Bartlett T p -process with estimated parameters whose limiting distribution under the null depends on the estimated model and the estimation method employed. The computation of the asymptotic critical values is not easy if at all possible under these circumstances. To circumvent this problem Delgado, Hidalgo, and Velasco (2005, Annals of…

个体固定效应面板线性回归的移动区块自助法AI 解读

In this paper we propose a bootstrap method for panel data linear regression models with individual fixed effects. The method consists of applying the standard moving blocks bootstrap of Künsch (1989, Annals of Statistics 17, 1217–1241) and Liu and Singh (1992, in R. LePage & L. Billiard (eds.), Exploring the Limits of the Bootstrap ) to the vector containing all the individual observations at each point in time. We show that this bootstrap is robust to serial and…

未知时点趋势变动检验：OLS 稳健检验的固定 b 分析AI 解读

This paper analyzes tests for a shift in the trend function of a time series at an unknown date based on ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates of the trend function. Inference about the trend parameters depends on the serial correlation structure of the data through the long-run variance (zero frequency spectral density) of the errors. Asymptotically pivotal tests can be obtained by the use of serial correlation robust standard errors that require an estimate of the…
