This paper considers the problem of forecasting a collection of short time series using cross‐sectional information in panel data. We construct point predictors using Tweedie's formula for the posterior mean of heterogeneous coefficients under a correlated random effects distribution. This formula utilizes cross‐sectional information to transform the unit‐specific (quasi) maximum likelihood estimator into an approximation of the posterior mean under a prior distribution that…

通胀与专业预测的动态：黏性、持续性和波动性AI 解读

This paper studies the joint dynamics of U.S. inflation and a term structure of average inflation predictions taken from the Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF). We estimate these joint dynamics by combining an unobserved components (UC) model of inflation and a sticky‐information forecast mechanism. The UC model decomposes inflation into trend and gap components, and innovations to trend and gap inflation are affected by stochastic volatility. A novelty of our model is…

线性回归系数与误差方差结构变化的联合检验AI 解读

We provide a comprehensive treatment for the problem of testing jointly for structural changes in both the regression coefficients and the variance of the errors in a single equation system involving stationary regressors. Our framework is quite general in that we allow for general mixing‐type regressors and the assumptions on the errors are quite mild. Their distribution can be nonnormal and conditional heteroskedasticity is permitted. Extensions to the case with serially…

财政 DSGE 模型的叙事识别方法AI 解读

Structural DSGE models are used for analyzing both policy and the sources of business cycles. Conclusions based on full structural models are, however, potentially affected by misspecification. A competing method is to use partially identified SVARs based on narrative shocks. This paper asks whether both approaches agree. Specifically, I use narrative data in a DSGE‐SVAR that partially identify policy shocks in the VAR and assess the fit of the DSGE model relative to this…

平稳时间序列基于持续性的 Wold 型分解AI 解读

This paper shows how to decompose weakly stationary time series into the sum, across time scales, of uncorrelated components associated with different degrees of persistence. In particular, we provide an Extended Wold Decomposition based on an isometric scaling operator that makes averages of process innovations. Thanks to the uncorrelatedness of components, our representation of a time series naturally induces a persistence‐based variance decomposition of any weakly…

有约束与无约束的间接推断AI 解读

Indirect Inference (I‐I) estimation of structural parameters θ requires matching observed and simulated statistics, which are most often generated using an auxiliary model that depends on instrumental parameters β . The estimators of the instrumental parameters will encapsulate the statistical information used for inference about the structural parameters. As such, artificially constraining these parameters may restrict the ability of the auxiliary model to accurately…

非平稳过程均值的实质变化检测：超额质量方法AI 解读

This paper considers the problem of testing if a sequence of means $(\mu_{t})_{t=1,\ldots ,n}$ of a nonstationary time series $(X_{t})_{t=1,\ldots ,n}$ is stable in the sense that the difference of the means $\mu_{1}$ and $\mu_{t}$ between the initial time $t=1$ and any other time is smaller than a given threshold, that is $|\mu_{1}-\mu_{t}|\leq c$ for all $t=1,\ldots ,n$. A test for hypotheses of this type is developed using a bias corrected monotone rearranged local linear…

维度与样本量之比趋零时样本自协方差矩阵的联合收敛及应用AI 解读

Consider a high-dimensional linear time series model where the dimension $p$ and the sample size $n$ grow in such a way that $p/n\to 0$. Let $\hat{\Gamma }_{u}$ be the $u$th order sample autocovariance matrix. We first show that the LSD of any symmetric polynomial in $\{\hat{\Gamma }_{u},\hat{\Gamma }_{u}^{*},u\geq 0\}$ exists under independence and moment assumptions on the driving sequence together with weak assumptions on the coefficient matrices. This LSD result, with…

高维白噪声检验AI 解读

Testing for white noise is a classical yet important problem in statistics, especially for diagnostic checks in time series modeling and linear regression. For high-dimensional time series in the sense that the dimension $p$ is large in relation to the sample size $T$, the popular omnibus tests including the multivariate Hosking and Li–McLeod tests are extremely conservative, leading to substantial power loss. To develop more relevant tests for high-dimensional cases, we…

ARMAX 残差部分和过程的极限行为AI 解读

We establish general and versatile results regarding the limit behavior of the partial-sum process of ARMAX residuals. Illustrations include ARMA with seasonal dummies, misspecified ARMAX models with autocorrelated errors, nonlinear ARMAX models, ARMA with a structural break, a wide range of ARMAX models with infinite-variance errors, weak GARCH models and the consistency of kernel estimation of the density of ARMAX errors. Our results identify the limit distributions, and…

未知形式异方差下自回归模型的统计推断AI 解读

This paper provides an entire inference procedure for the autoregressive model under (conditional) heteroscedasticity of unknown form with a finite variance. We first establish the asymptotic normality of the weighted least absolute deviations estimator (LADE) for the model. Second, we develop the random weighting (RW) method to estimate its asymptotic covariance matrix, leading to the implementation of the Wald test. Third, we construct a portmanteau test for model…

动态异方差下非参数回归的有效估计AI 解读

We study the efficient estimation of nonparametric regression in the presence of heteroskedasticity. We focus our analysis on local polynomial estimation of nonparametric regressions with conditional heteroskedasticity in a time series setting. We introduce a weighted local polynomial regression smoother that takes account of the dynamic heteroskedasticity. We show that, although traditionally it is advised that one should not weight for heteroskedasticity in nonparametric…

短记忆与长记忆时间序列的鞍点近似：频域方法AI 解读

Saddlepoint techniques provide numerically accurate, small sample approximations to the distribution of estimators and test statistics. Except for a few simple models, these approximations are not available in the framework of stationary time series. We contribute to fill this gap. Under short or long range serial dependence, for Gaussian and non Gaussian processes, we show how to derive and implement saddlepoint approximations for two relevant classes of frequency domain…

非对称厚尾条件收益的状态切换动态相关模型AI 解读

A non-Gaussian multivariate regime switching dynamic correlation model for financial asset returns is proposed. It incorporates the multivariate generalized hyperbolic law for the conditional distribution of returns. All model parameters are estimated consistently using a new two-stage expectation–maximization algorithm that also allows for incorporation of shrinkage estimation via quasi-Bayesian priors. It is shown that use of Markov switching correlation dynamics not only…

空间模型选择的似然比检验AI 解读

This paper develops a nondegenerate likelihood-ratio test for model selection between two competitive spatial econometrics models. It generalizes the test of Vuong (1989) to models with spatial near-epoch dependent (NED) data. We do not make any structural assumption on the true model specification and allow for the cases where both or one of the two competing models are mis-specified. The test is valid whether two models are nested or non-nested. As a prerequisite of the…

结构变化检验的自助法AI 解读

This paper demonstrates the asymptotic validity of methods based on the wild recursive and wild fixed bootstraps for testing hypotheses about discrete parameter change in linear models estimated via Two Stage Least Squares. The framework allows for the errors to exhibit conditional and/or unconditional heteroscedasticity, and for the reduced form to be unstable. Simulation evidence indicates the bootstrap tests yield reliable inferences in the sample sizes often encountered…

具有一致性的非高斯伪最大似然估计量AI 解读

We characterise the mean and variance parameters that distributionally misspecified maximum likelihood estimators can consistently estimate in location-scale models, and provide simple closed-form consistent estimators for the rest. Including means and a multivariate coverage make our procedures useful for Garch-M models and empirically relevant macro and finance applications involving Vars and multivariate regressions. We study the statistical properties of our proposed…

离散观测跳跃扩散过程的模拟似然估计AI 解读

This paper develops an unbiased Monte Carlo approximation to the transition density of a jump–diffusion process with state-dependent drift, volatility, jump intensity, and jump magnitude. The approximation is used to construct a likelihood estimator of the parameters of a jump–diffusion observed at fixed time intervals that need not be short. The estimator is asymptotically unbiased for any sample size. It has the same large-sample asymptotic properties as the true but…

混合因果—非因果自回归过程与爆炸性泡沫建模AI 解读

Noncausal autoregressive models with heavy-tailed errors generate locally explosive processes and, therefore, provide a convenient framework for modelling bubbles in economic and financial time series. We investigate the probability properties of mixed causal-noncausal autoregressive processes, assuming the errors follow a stable non-Gaussian distribution. Extending the study of the noncausal AR(1) model by Gouriéroux and Zakoian (2017), we show that the conditional…

计数时间序列的半参数独立性检验与支持集作用AI 解读

This article considers testing for independence in a time series of small counts within an Integer Autoregressive (INAR) model, taking a semiparametric approach that avoids any distributional assumption on the arrivals process of the model. The nature of the testing problem is shown to differ depending on whether or not the support of the arrivals distribution is the full set of natural numbers (as would be the case for Poisson or Negative Binomial distributions for example)…

可能存在未知趋势断点时的时间序列分数阶单整阶数检验AI 解读

We develop a test, based on the Lagrange multiplier [LM] testing principle, for the value of the long memory parameter of a univariate time series that is composed of a fractionally integrated shock around a potentially broken deterministic trend. Our proposed test is constructed from data which are de-trended allowing for a trend break whose (unknown) location is estimated by a standard residual sum of squares estimator applied either to the levels or first differences of…

持久性与条件异方差下的预测分位数回归AI 解读

This paper provides an improved inference for predictive quantile regressions with persistent predictors and conditionally heteroskedastic errors. The confidence intervals based on conventional quantile regression techniques are not valid when predictors are highly persistent. Moreover, the conditional heteroskedasticity introduces rather complicated nuisance parameters in the limit theory, whose estimation errors can be another source of distortion. We propose a…

Edgeworth 时间序列模型：并非 AR(1)，却具有相同协方差结构AI 解读

In an 1886 paper, Edgeworth developed a method for simulating time series processes with substantial dependence. A version of this process with normal errors has the same means and covariance structure as an AR(1) process, but is actually a mixture of a very large number of processes, some of which are not stationary. That is, joint distributions of lag 3 or greater are not normal but are mixtures of normals (even though all successive pairs are bivariate normal). Thus, it…

极端收益与交易强度AI 解读

Summary Asymmetric information models of market microstructure claim that variables such as trading intensity are proxies for latent information on the value of financial assets. We consider the interval‐valued time series (ITS) of low/high returns and explore the relationship between these extreme returns and the intensity of trading. We assume that the returns (or prices) are generated by a latent process with some unknown conditional density. At each period of time, from…
