非平稳波动率下的自适应协整检验AI 解读

This article develops a class of adaptive cointegration tests for multivariate time series with nonstationary volatility. Persistent changes in the innovation variance matrix of a vector autoregressive model lead to size distortions in conventional cointegration tests, which may be resolved using the wild bootstrap, as shown in recent work by Cavaliere, Rahbek, and Taylor. We show that it also leads to the possibility of constructing tests with higher power, by taking the…

含噪高频数据积分协方差矩阵的因子估计AI 解读

This article studies a high-dimensional factor model with sparse idiosyncratic covariance matrix in continuous time, using asynchronous high-frequency financial data contaminated by microstructure noise. We focus on consistent estimations of the number of common factors, the integrated covariance matrix and its inverse, based on the flat-top realized kernels introduced by Varneskov. Simulation results illustrate the satisfactory performance of our estimators in finite…

以 copula 连接单变量 D-vine 的多元时间序列建模AI 解读

This article proposes a novel multivariate time series model named copula-linked univariate D-vines (CuDvine), which enables the simultaneous copula-based modeling of both temporal and cross-sectional dependence for multivariate time series. To construct CuDvine, we first build a semiparametric univariate D-vine time series model (uDvine) based on a D-vine. The uDvine generalizes the existing first-order copula-based Markov chain models to Markov chains of an…

长记忆时间序列动态与水平联合突变的 LM 检验AI 解读

We consider a single-step Lagrange multiplier (LM) test for joint breaks (at known or unknown dates) in the long memory parameter, the short-run dynamics, and the level of a fractionally integrated time-series process. The regression version of this test is easily implementable and allows to identify the specific sources of the break when the null hypothesis of parameter stability is rejected. However, its size and power properties are sensitive to the correct specification…

抽样时点内生时积分波动率的拉普拉斯估计AI 解读

We study a class of nonparametric volatility estimators based on the Laplace transform, which are robust to the presence of the endogeneity of observation times. Asymptotic properties and feasible central limit theorems are established. In the presence of time endogeneity, our bias-corrected Laplace estimator takes advantage of the informational content of time endogeneity, which leads to narrower confidence bounds. The finite sample properties of the estimator are studied…

具有一般杠杆效应设定的随机波动率模型AI 解读

We introduce a new stochastic volatility model that postulates a general correlation structure between the shocks of the measurement and log volatility equations at different temporal lags. The resulting specification is able to better characterize the leverage effect and propagation in financial time series. Furthermore, it nests other asymmetric volatility models and can be used for testing and diagnostics. We derive the simulated maximum likelihood and quasi maximum…

高频价格的动态离散混合模型AI 解读

The tick structure of the financial markets entails discreteness of stock price changes. Based on this empirical evidence, we develop a multivariate model for discrete price changes featuring a mechanism to account for the large share of zero returns at high frequency. We assume that the observed price changes are independent conditional on the realization of two hidden Markov chains determining the dynamics and the distribution of the multivariate time series at hand. We…

基于多类连通矩阵凸组合的空间自回归模型贝叶斯平均AI 解读

There is a great deal of literature regarding use of nongeographically based connectivity matrices or combinations of geographic and non-geographic structures in spatial econometric models. We focus on convex combinations of weight matrices that result in a single weight matrix reflecting multiple types of connectivity, where coefficients from the convex combination can be used for inference regarding the relative importance of each type of connectivity in the global…

不相关创新时间序列模型的简单渐近 F 分布综合诊断检验AI 解读

We propose a simple asymptotically F-distributed portmanteau test for diagnostically checking whether the innovations in a parametric time series model are uncorrelated while allowing them to exhibit higher-order dependence of unknown forms. A transform of sample residual autocovariances removing the influence of parameter estimation uncertainty makes the test simple. Further, by employing the orthonormal series variance estimator, a special sample autocovariances estimator…

通过多元谱的总Frobenius范数进行模型识别AI 解读

Abstract We study the integral of the Frobenius norm as a measure of the discrepancy between two multivariate spectra. Such a measure can be used to fit time series models, and ensures proximity between model and process at all frequencies of the spectral density—this is more demanding than Kullback–Leibler discrepancy, which is instead related to one-step ahead forecasting performance. We develop new asymptotic results for linear and quadratic functionals of the…

基于自归一化的高维数据变点推断AI 解读

This article considers change-point testing and estimation for a sequence of high-dimensional data. In the case of testing for a mean shift for high-dimensional independent data, we propose a new test which is based on U-statistic in Chen and Qin (Ann. Statist. 38 (2010) 808–835) and utilizes the self-normalization principle (Shao J. R. Stat. Soc. Ser. B. Stat. Methodol. 72 (2010) 343–366; Shao and Zhang J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 105 (2010) 1228–1240). Our test targets dense…

多变量时间序列的平稳藤 Copula 模型AI 解读

Multivariate time series exhibit two types of dependence: across variables and across time points. Vine copulas are graphical models for the dependence and can conveniently capture both types of dependence in the same model. We derive the maximal class of graph structures that guarantee stationarity under a natural and verifiable condition called translation invariance. We propose computationally efficient methods for estimation, simulation, prediction, and uncertainty…

评《具有随机波动率和非共轭先验的大型贝叶斯向量自回归》AI 解读

Fully Bayesian inference in a vector autoregression with stochastic volatility (VAR-SV) typically relies on simulations from a multi-step Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. Carriero et al. (2019) propose a new, faster, “triangular” algorithm (TA) to replace the systemwide algorithm (SWA) in the most time-consuming step of the VAR-SV’s standard MCMC algorithm. This paper analytically shows that the TA and SWA generally sample from different distributions, thereby…

得分驱动模型的最大似然估计AI 解读

We establish strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator for stochastic time-varying parameter models driven by the score of the predictive conditional likelihood function. For this purpose, we formulate primitive conditions for global identification, invertibility, strong consistency, and asymptotic normality both under correct specification and misspecification of the model. A detailed illustration is provided for a conditional…

高度持久预测变量下的半参数检验AI 解读

We address the issue of semiparametric efficiency in the bivariate regression problem with a highly persistent predictor, where the joint distribution of the innovations is regarded an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Using a structural representation of the limit experiment and exploiting invariance relationships therein, we construct invariant point-optimal tests for the regression coefficient of interest. This approach naturally leads to a family of feasible tests…

以共同协变量平滑的函数系数面板模型AI 解读

Behavior at the individual level in panels is often influenced by aspects of the system in aggregate. In particular, the interaction between individual-specific explanatory variables and an individual dependent variable may be affected by ‘global’ variables that are relevant in decision making and shared communally by all individuals in the sample. To capture such behavioral features, we employ a functional coefficient panel model in which certain communal covariates may…

时变模型的同时推断AI 解读

A general class of non-stationary time series is considered in this paper. We estimate the time-varying coefficients by using local linear M-estimation. For these estimators, weak Bahadur representations are obtained and are used to construct simultaneous confidence bands. For practical implementation, we propose a bootstrap based method to circumvent the slow logarithmic convergence of the theoretical simultaneous bands. Our results substantially generalize and unify the…

残差增广的 IVX 预测回归AI 解读

Bias correction in predictive regressions is known to reduce the empirical size problems of OLS-based predictability tests with persistent predictors. This paper shows that bias correction is also achieved in the context of the extended instrumental variable (IVX) predictability testing framework introduced by Kostakis et al. (2015). To be specific, new IVX-based statistics subject to a bias correction analogous to that proposed by Amihud and Hurvich (2004) are introduced.…

不完全市场中的指数期权定价AI 解读

We characterize a set of risk-neutral measures associated with a comprehensive class of risk averse investors. From this set, we show how to construct option price bounds and recover the implied γ: a parameter uniquely identifying the marginal investor pricing a given option. Empirically, we find that S&P 500 option prices are reconciled by heterogeneous marginal investors who differ in their assessment of tail risk. This heterogeneity is time-varying, decreases during…

积分过程的负幂统计量AI 解读

This paper derives the limit distribution of the rescaled sum of the absolute value of an integrated process with continuously distributed innovations raised to a negative power less than $-$ 1, and of the analogous statistic that is obtained using the same function of an integrated process but only considering positive values of the integrated process. We show that the limit behavior of this statistic is determined by the values of the integrated process that are closest to…

动态线性模型结构变化的序贯监测及美国住房市场应用AI 解读

We propose a sequential monitoring scheme to find structural breaks in dynamic linear models. The monitoring scheme is based on a detector and a suitably chosen boundary function. If the detector crosses the boundary function, a structural break is detected. We provide the asymptotics for the procedure under the null hypothesis of stability. The consistency of the procedure is also proved. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the stopping time under the change point…

贝叶斯模型比较中的自动化先验稳健性分析AI 解读

Summary It is well‐known that the marginal likelihood, the gold standard for Bayesian model comparison, can be sensitive to prior hyperparameter choices. However, most models require computationally intense simulation‐based methods to evaluate the typically high‐dimensional integral of the marginal likelihood expression. Hence, despite the recognition that prior sensitivity analysis is important in this context, it is rarely done in practice. We develop efficient and…

模型复杂度能否提升资产配置表现？机器学习预测模型的证据AI 解读

Summary This study evaluates the benefits of integrating return forecasts from a variety of machine learning and forecast combination methods into an out‐of‐sample asset allocation framework. The economic evaluation of the forecasts shows that model complexity translates to improved results in the majority of cases considered, with shrinkage methods and shallow neural networks generating the highest individual performance. Overall, an investor would consistently realize…

个体预测者对GDP冲击持续性的认知AI 解读

Summary We analyse individual professional forecasters' beliefs concerning the persistence of GDP shocks. Despite substantial apparent heterogeneity in perceptions, with around one half of the sample of professional forecasters believing shocks do not have permanent effects, we show that these apparent differences may be largely due to short samples and survey respondents being active at different times. When we control for these effects, using a bootstrap, we formally do…
