具有社群网络结构的高维多变量已实现波动率预测AI 解读

We introduce the Community Network Heterogeneous Autoregressive model with Quarticity (CNHARQ), a novel framework that integrates network-based information to enhance the forecasting of multivariate realized volatilities. To address the curse of dimensionality, we propose a Correlation-Based Stochastic Block Model (CBSBM) to uncover latent community structures from the correlation network of realized volatilities of N assets. This approach reduces the number of unknown…

利用解偏变量进行因果推断AI 解读

This paper shows that incorporating what we call antidotal variables (AV) into a causal treatment effects analysis can with one cross-sectional regression identify the causal effect, the spillover effect, as well as possible biases from selectivity. We apply the AV technique to analyze leave taking arising from the California Paid Family Leave (CPFL) program. Our analysis yields between a 55% and 70% larger treatment effect than the traditional DID methods, which we…

空间自回归模型的迁移学习：美国总统选举预测应用AI 解读

It is important to incorporate spatial geographic information into U.S. presidential election analysis, especially for swing states. The state-level analysis also faces significant challenges of limited spatial data availability. To address the challenges of spatial dependence and small sample sizes in predicting U.S. presidential election results using spatially dependent data, we propose a novel transfer learning framework within the SAR model, called as tranSAR. Classical…

条件矩限制模型中的内生变量缺失AI 解读

We estimate finite-dimensional parameters in conditional moment restriction (CMR) models when at least one of the endogenous variables (outcomes and/or explanatory variables) in the model is missing for some individuals in the sample. We demonstrate that efficiency gains in estimation occur if and only if there is at least one endogenous variable—included in or excluded from the CMR model—that is nonmissing (observed for all individuals in the sample), which we show…

具有共同随机趋势的高维门限因子模型AI 解读

We study inference for threshold regression in the context of a large factor model with common stochastic trends. We develop a Least Squares estimator for the threshold level, deriving almost sure rates of convergence and proposing a novel way of constructing confidence intervals based on a randomized test. Our confidence intervals are constructed using the rates of convergence of the estimated threshold level, and no limiting distribution is required. We also develop a…

弱识别与少量聚类下工具变量分位数回归的梯度野生自助法AI 解读

We study the gradient wild bootstrap-based inference for instrumental variable quantile regressions in the framework of a small number of large clusters in which the number of clusters is viewed as fixed, and the number of observations for each cluster diverges to infinity. For the Wald inference, we show that our wild bootstrap Wald test, with or without studentization using the cluster-robust covariance estimator (CRVE), controls size asymptotically up to a small error as…

无效代理变量与波动率变化AI 解读

When in proxy-SVARs the covariance matrix of VAR disturbances is subject to exogenous, permanent breaks that cause IRFs to change across volatility regimes, even strong, exogenous external instruments yield inconsistent estimates of the dynamic causal effects. However, if these volatility shifts are properly incorporated into the analysis through (testable) "stability restrictions", we demonstrate that the target IRFs are point-identified and can be estimated consistently…

异质性面板中的个体平均估计AI 解读

In this work, we introduce a unit averaging procedure to efficiently recover unit-specific parameters in a heterogeneous panel model. The procedure consists in estimating the parameter of a given unit using a weighted average of all the unit-specific parameter estimators in the panel. The weights of the average are determined by minimizing an MSE criterion we derive. We analyze the properties of the resulting minimum MSE unit averaging estimator in a local heterogeneity…

排序数据的静态与动态贝叶斯加性回归树模型AI 解读

Ranking lists are often provided at regular time intervals in a range of applications, including economics, sports, marketing, and politics. Most popular methods for rank-order data postulate a linear specification for the latent scores, which determine the observed ranks, and ignore the temporal dependence of the ranking lists. To address these issues, novel nonparametric static (ROBART) and autoregressive (ARROBART) models are developed, with latent scores defined as…

回归中自适应稀疏性与收缩的贝叶斯方法AI 解读

Bayesian and frequentist regularization techniques are commonly employed for estimating regression models from data. However, most existing methods require practitioners to pre-specify whether the target model is dense or sparse. A recent proposal, the GLP prior distribution, addresses this limitation by bridging the gap between sparse and dense model regimes in a data-driven manner. Despite its flexibility, the GLP prior incurs high computational costs due to matrix…

单一积分型尾部形状参数下极端 VaR 与 ES 的联合动态AI 解读

We propose a robust semi-parametric framework for persistent time-varying extreme tail behavior, including extreme Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES). The framework builds on Extreme Value Theory and uses a conditional version of the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for peaks-over-threshold (POT) dynamics. Unlike earlier approaches, our model (i) has unit root-like, that is, integrated autoregressive dynamics for the GPD tail shape, and (ii) re-scales POTs…

动态 CoVaR 建模与估计AI 解读

The popular systemic risk measure CoVaR (conditional Value-at-Risk) and its variants are widely used in economics and finance. In this article, we propose joint dynamic forecasting models for the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and CoVaR. The CoVaR version we consider is defined as a large quantile of one variable (e.g., losses in the financial system) conditional on some other variable (e.g., losses in a bank’s shares) being in distress. We introduce a two-step M-estimator for the…

利用混合整数规划检测时间序列变点AI 解读

We use cutting-edge mixed integer optimization (MIO) methods to develop a framework for detection and estimation of structural breaks in time series regression models. The framework is constructed based on the least squares problem subject to a penalty on the number of breakpoints. We restate the l0-penalized regression problem as a quadratic programming problem with integer- and real-valued arguments and show that MIO is capable of finding provably optimal solutions using a…

利用辅助数据界定遗漏变量偏差：邻里效应估计应用AI 解读

This paper develops a method for estimating a superset that contains the linear projection coefficients of an outcome variable y onto a full set of covariates (x,z,w), when the available data are split across two independent sources. One dataset identifies the joint distribution of y and a subset of covariates (z,w), while the other identifies the joint distribution of (x,z). This framework is motivated by applications where administrative data lacks information on…

跨时间平滑方差：自适应随机波动率AI 解读

We introduce a novel Bayesian framework for estimating time-varying volatility by extending the Random Walk Stochastic Volatility (RWSV) model with Dynamic Shrinkage Processes (DSP) in log-variances. Unlike the classical Stochastic Volatility (SV) or GARCH-type models with restrictive parametric stationarity assumptions, our proposed Adaptive Stochastic Volatility (ASV) model provides smooth yet dynamically adaptive estimates of evolving volatility and its uncertainty. We…

区分宏观数据因子模型中的结构断点AI 解读

We develop a projection-based decomposition to disentangle structural breaks in the factor variance and factor loadings. Our approach yields test statistics that can be compared against standard distributions commonly used in the structural break literature. Because standard methods for estimating factor models in macroeconomics normalize the factor variance, they do not distinguish between breaks of the factor variance and factor loadings. Applying our procedure to U.S.…

从惩罚到过参数化：高维线性变量误差模型的隐式正则化AI 解读

Regularization methods are crucial for the analysis of high-dimensional data, with most methods adding a penalty term to the loss function explicitly. In this paper, we introduce an implicit regularization technique through over-parameterization and propose a calibrated penalty-free (CPF) estimation method for high-dimensional linear errors-in-variables models. This method calibrates the bias caused by measurement errors while avoiding the bias introduced by penalty terms.…

线性预测回归中条件期望分位数型风险价值的新估计量AI 解读

Since it is the only elicitable law-invariant coherent risk measure, the expectile-based value-at-risk (EVaR) is a recently recommended risk measure in financial risk management. This paper considers the large sample statistical inference problem of conditional EVaR under a linear predictive regression model. Based on the least-squares residuals, we propose a novel least-squares residual estimator for the conditional EVaR of a linear predictive regression. The asymptotic…

律师的价值：以附带来源规则变更作为无效工具变量AI 解读

ABSTRACT The value of lawyers to their clients is notoriously difficult to estimate because of endogeneity. We utilize modifications to the collateral source (CS) rule that require reducing trial awards by the amount of payments from first‐party insurance as an instrument for hiring a lawyer. The problem with our instrument is that modifications to the CS rule have a direct effect on recovery and, hence, violate the exclusion restriction required for a valid instrument. We…

异质性面板数据模型的估计及其在项目评估中的应用AI 解读

This article studies panel data models with two-dimensional unobserved slope heterogeneity and interactive fixed effects. We propose a two-step approach to estimate the parameters in the model. We apply the proposed model to estimate heterogeneous treatment effects at both individual and aggregate levels. Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed estimators perform remarkably well in finite samples in comparison with some existing methods such as the synthetic control…

半参数广义帕累托模型中的尾部期望分位数估计AI 解读

Expectiles have received increasing attention as a market risk measure that is both coherent and elicitable. They are defined as a least squares analog to quantiles. Their estimation from heavy-tailed loss data in an extreme value framework is an important and difficult problem, especially when the target tail expectile is beyond the range of the data. This problem has been studied only fairly recently, using solely the Weissman extrapolation method. The competing…

高维噪声下的广义稳健自适应带宽多视图流形学习AI 解读

Multiview datasets are common in scientific and engineering applications, yet existing fusion methods offer limited theoretical guarantees, particularly in the presence of heterogeneous and high-dimensional noise. We propose Generalized Robust Adaptive-Bandwidth Multiview Diffusion Maps (GRAB-MDM), a new kernel-based diffusion geometry framework for integrating multiple noisy data sources. The key innovation of GRAB-MDM is a view-dependent bandwidth selection strategy that…

交叉设计的因果效应、有效估计与稳健推断AI 解读

Crossover designs randomly assign each unit to receive a sequence of treatments. By comparing outcomes within the same unit, these designs can effectively eliminate between-unit variation and facilitate the identification of both instantaneous effects of current treatments and carryover effects from past treatments. They are widely used in traditional biomedical studies and are increasingly adopted in modern digital platforms. However, standard analyses of crossover designs…

基于最近邻图的两样本检验的功效性质AI 解读

In this paper, we study the problem of testing the equality of two multivariate distributions. One class of tests used for this purpose utilizes geometric graphs constructed using interpoint distances. So far, the asymptotic theory of these tests applies only to graphs, which fall under the stabilizing graphs framework of Penrose and Yukich (Ann. Appl. Probab. 13 (2003) 277–303). We study the case of the K-nearest neighbors graph where K=kN increases with the sample size,…
