识别协整面板中的潜在分组模式AI 解读

We consider a panel cointegration model with latent group structures that allows for heterogeneous long-run relationships across groups. We extend Su, Shi, and Phillips (2016, Econometrica 84(6), 2215–2264) classifier-Lasso (C-Lasso) method to the nonstationary panels and allow for the presence of endogeneity in both the stationary and nonstationary regressors in the model. In addition, we allow the dimension of the stationary regressors to diverge with the sample size. We…

汇率可预测性与动态贝叶斯学习AI 解读

Summary We consider how an investor in the foreign exchange market can exploit predictive information by means of flexible Bayesian inference. Using a variety of vector autoregressive models, the investor is able, each period, to learn about important data features. The developed methodology synthesizes a wide array of established approaches for modeling exchange rate dynamics. In a thorough investigation of monthly exchange rate predictability for 10 countries, we find that…

利用固定平滑渐近理论比较小样本预测准确性AI 解读

Summary We consider fixed‐smoothing asymptotics for the Diebold and Mariano ( Journal of Business and Economic Statistics , 1995, 13 (3), 253–263) test of predictive accuracy. We show that this approach delivers predictive accuracy tests that are correctly sized even when only a small number of out‐of‐sample observations is available. We apply the fixed‐smoothing asymptotics to the Diebold and Mariano test to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the Survey of Professional…

区间值时间序列的预测域AI 解读

Summary We approximate probabilistic forecasts for interval‐valued time series by offering alternative approaches. After fitting a possibly non‐Gaussian bivariate vector autoregression (VAR) model to the center/log‐range system, we transform prediction regions (analytical and bootstrap) for this system into regions for center/range and upper/lower bounds systems. Monte Carlo simulations show that bootstrap methods are preferred according to several new metrics. For daily S&P…

多元密度预测正确校准的变量顺序不变检验AI 解读

Summary Established tests for proper calibration of multivariate density forecasts based on Rosenblatt probability integral transforms can be manipulated by changing the order of variables in the forecasting model. We derive order‐invariant tests. The new tests are applicable to densities of arbitrary dimensions and can deal with parameter estimation uncertainty and dynamic misspecification. Monte Carlo simulations show that they often have superior power relative to…

存在总量冲击时的估计AI 解读

Abstract Aggregate shocks affect most households’ and firms’ decisions. Using three stylized models, we show that inference based on cross-sectional data alone generally fails to correctly account for decision making of rational agents facing aggregate uncertainty. We propose an econometric framework that overcomes these problems by explicitly parameterizing the agents’ decision problem relative to aggregate shocks. Our framework and examples illustrate that the…

泡沫与闪崩的概率预测AI 解读

Summary We propose a near-explosive random coefficient autoregressive model (NERC) to obtain predictive probabilities of the apparition and devolution of bubbles. The distribution of the autoregressive coefficient of this model is allowed to be centred at an O(T−α) distance of unity, with α ∈ (0, 1). When the expectation of the autoregressive coefficient lies on the explosive side of unity, the NERC helps to model the temporary explosiveness of time series and obtain related…

断点回归中稳健偏差校正推断的最优带宽选择AI 解读

Summary Modern empirical work in regression discontinuity (RD) designs often employs local polynomial estimation and inference with a mean square error (MSE) optimal bandwidth choice. This bandwidth yields an MSE-optimal RD treatment effect estimator, but is by construction invalid for inference. Robust bias-corrected (RBC) inference methods are valid when using the MSE-optimal bandwidth, but we show that they yield suboptimal confidence intervals in terms of coverage error.…

高维时间序列的门限因子模型AI 解读

We consider a threshold factor model for high-dimensional time series in which the dynamics of the time series is assumed to switch between different regimes according to the value of a threshold variable. This is an extension of threshold modeling to a high-dimensional time series setting under a factor structure. Specifically, within each threshold regime, the time series is assumed to follow a factor model. The regime switching mechanism creates structural changes in the…

无限方差过程的稳健因果性检验AI 解读

This paper develops a robust causality test for time series with infinite variance innovation processes. First, we introduce a measure of dependence for vector nonparametric linear processes, and derive the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic by Taniguchi et al. (1996) in the infinite variance case. Second, we construct a weighted version of the generalized empirical likelihood (GEL) test statistic, called the self-weighted GEL statistic in the time domain. The…

具有时间序列与异方差误差的高维回归变量选择AI 解读

Although existing literature on high-dimensional regression models is rich, the vast majority of studies have focused on independent and homogeneous error terms. In this article, we consider the problem of selecting high-dimensional regression models with heteroscedastic and time series errors, which have broad applications in economics, quantitative finance, environmental science, and many other fields. The error term in our model is the product of two components: one time…

因子调整的正则化模型选择AI 解读

This paper studies model selection consistency for high dimensional sparse regression when data exhibits both cross-sectional and serial dependency. Most commonly-used model selection methods fail to consistently recover the true model when the covariates are highly correlated. Motivated by econometric and financial studies, we consider the case where covariate dependence can be reduced through the factor model, and propose a consistency strategy named Factor-Adjusted…

非因果向量自回归过程及其经济时间序列应用AI 解读

Inference procedures for noncausal autoregressive (AR) models have been well studied and applied in a variety of applications from environmental to financial. For such processes, the observation at time t may depend on both past and future shocks in the system. In this paper, we consider extension of the univariate noncausal AR models to the vector AR (VAR) case. The extension presents several interesting challenges since even a first-order VAR can possess both causal and…

大规模二模网络的网络自回归模型AI 解读

A two-mode network refers to a network where the nodes are classified into two distinct types, and edges can only exist between nodes of different types. In analysis of two-mode networks, one important objective is to explore the relationship between responses of two types of nodes. To this end, we propose a network autoregressive model for two-mode networks. Different network autocorrelation coefficients are allowed. To estimate the model, a quasi-maximum likelihood…

高频因子模型与回归AI 解读

We consider a nonparametric time series regression model. Our framework allows precise estimation of betas without the usual assumption of betas being piecewise constant. This property makes our framework particularly suitable to study individual stocks. We provide an inference framework for all components of the model, including idiosyncratic volatility and idiosyncratic jumps. Our empirical analysis investigates the largest dataset in the high-frequency literature. First,…

双重非线性协整的估计AI 解读

In recent years statistical inference for nonlinear cointegration has attracted attention from both academics and practitioners. This paper proposes a new type of cointegration in the sense that two univariate time series yt and xt are cointegrated via two (unknown) smooth nonlinear transformations, further generalizing the notion of cointegration initially revealed by Box and Tiao (1977), and more systematically studied by Engle and Granger (1987). More precisely, it holds…

动态条件角相关AI 解读

We introduce the concept of angular correlation for estimating the instantaneous correlation matrix with a single multivariate realization. The proposed estimator is generally a positive definite correlation matrix and robust in that for bivariate normal data, the sample angular correlation is equally likely to be above or below the population correlation coefficient. We then generalize the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) model to the dynamic conditional angular…

广义动态因子模型与波动率：一致性、收敛速度及预测区间AI 解读

Volatilities, in high-dimensional panels of economic time series with a dynamic factor structure on the levels or returns, typically also admit a dynamic factor decomposition. We consider a two-stage dynamic factor model method recovering the common and idiosyncratic components of both levels and log-volatilities. Specifically, in a first estimation step, we extract the common and idiosyncratic shocks for the levels, from which a log-volatility proxy is computed. In a second…

构建具有聚类结构的动态因子模型的稳健程序AI 解读

Dynamic factor models provide a useful way to model large sets of time series. These data often have heterogeneity and cluster structure and the formulation and estimation of dynamic factor models should be adapted to these features. This article presents a procedure to fit Dynamic Factor Models with Cluster Structure (DFMCS), where some of the factors are global and others group-specific, to heterogeneous data that may include multivariate additive outliers and level…

基于极值理论的高维时间序列序列相关检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a simple test for detecting serial correlations in high-dimensional time series. The proposed test makes use of the robust properties of Spearman’s rank correlation and the theory of extreme values. Asymptotic properties of the test statistics are derived under some minor conditions as both the sample size and dimension go to infinity. The test is not sensitive to the underlying distribution of the time series so long as the data are continuously…

非参数回归曲线的多尺度聚类AI 解读

In a wide range of modern applications, one observes a large number of time series rather than only a single one. It is often natural to suppose that there is some group structure in the observed time series. When each time series is modeled by a nonparametric regression equation, one may in particular assume that the observed time series can be partitioned into a small number of groups whose members share the same nonparametric regression function. We develop a…

温化线性过程驱动的近单整过程渐近理论AI 解读

In an early article on near-unit root autoregression, Ahtola and Tiao (1984) studied the behavior of the score function in a stationary first order autoregression driven by independent Gaussian innovations as the autoregressive coefficient approached unity from below. The present paper develops asymptotic theory for near-integrated random processes and associated regressions including the score function in more general settings where the errors are tempered linear processes.…

具有长程依赖的曲线时间序列AI 解读

We introduce methods and theory for functional or curve time series with long-range dependence. The temporal sum of the curve process is shown to be asymptotically normally distributed, the conditions for this covering a functional version of fractionally integrated autoregressive moving averages. We also construct an estimate of the long-run covariance function, which we use, via functional principal component analysis, in estimating the orthonormal functions spanning the…

用于二元时间序列计算机实验的广义高斯过程模型AI 解读

Non-Gaussian observations such as binary responses are common in some computer experiments. Motivated by the analysis of a class of cell adhesion experiments, we introduce a generalized Gaussian process model for binary responses, which shares some common features with standard GP models. In addition, the proposed model incorporates a flexible mean function that can capture different types of time series structures. Asymptotic properties of the estimators are derived, and an…
