受控序贯 Monte CarloAI 解读

Sequential Monte Carlo methods, also known as particle methods, are a popular set of techniques for approximating high-dimensional probability distributions and their normalizing constants. These methods have found numerous applications in statistics and related fields; for example, for inference in nonlinear non-Gaussian state space models, and in complex static models. Like many Monte Carlo sampling schemes, they rely on proposal distributions which crucially impact their…

基于自归一化的高维时间序列假设检验AI 解读

Self-normalization has attracted considerable attention in the recent literature of time series analysis, but its scope of applicability has been limited to low-/fixed-dimensional parameters for low-dimensional time series. In this article, we propose a new formulation of self-normalization for inference about the mean of high-dimensional stationary processes. Our original test statistic is a U-statistic with a trimming parameter to remove the bias caused by weak dependence.…

函数型时间序列平稳性的频域检验AI 解读

Interest in functional time series has spiked in the recent past with papers covering both methodology and applications being published at a much increased pace. This article contributes to the research in this area by proposing a new stationarity test for functional time series based on frequency domain methods. The proposed test statistics is based on joint dimension reduction via functional principal components analysis across the spectral density operators at all Fourier…

基于局部投影的预测误差方差分解AI 解读

We propose and study properties of an estimator of the forecast error variance decomposition in the local projections framework. We find for empirically relevant sample sizes that, after being bias-corrected with bootstrap, our estimator performs well in simulations. We also illustrate the workings of our estimator empirically for monetary policy and productivity shocks. KEYWORDS: Forecast error variance decomposition; Local projections.

多条计数时间序列的贝叶斯预测AI 解读

We develop and exemplify application of new classes of dynamic models for time series of nonnegative counts. Our novel univariate models combine dynamic generalized linear models for binary and conditionally Poisson time series, with dynamic random effects for over-dispersion. These models estimate dynamic regression coefficients in both binary and nonzero count components. Sequential Bayesian analysis allows fast, parallel analysis of sets of decoupled time series. New…

存在横截面依赖的因子模型自助法AI 解读

We consider bootstrap methods for factor-augmented regressions with cross sectional dependence among idiosyncratic errors. This is important to capture the bias of the OLS estimator derived recently by Gonçalves and Perron (2014). We first show that a common approach of resampling cross sectional vectors over time is invalid in this context because it induces a zero bias. We then propose the cross-sectional dependent (CSD) bootstrap where bootstrap samples are obtained by…

回归模型大量零约束的检验及混频格兰杰因果应用AI 解读

This paper proposes a new test for a large set of zero restrictions in regression models based on a seemingly overlooked, but simple, dimension reduction technique. The procedure involves multiple parsimonious regression models where key regressors are split across simple regressions. Each parsimonious regression model has one key regressor and other regressors not associated with the null hypothesis. The test is based on the maximum of the squared parameters of the key…

理性预期模型中的平稳泡沫均衡AI 解读

A linear rational expectation model with current expectations admits a unique linear stationary dynamic equilibrium only under specific restrictions on the parameter values. This paper shows that, in general, there is a multiplicity of stationary dynamic equilibria due to the existence of nonlinear stationary equilibria. These nonlinear stationary equilibria are consistent with the self-fulfilling prophecies that characterize the rational expectation equilibria, and can…

线性状态空间模型的似然比检验及其 DSGE 应用AI 解读

This paper considers the problem of hypothesis testing in linear Gaussian state space models. We consider two hypotheses of interest: a simple null and a hypothesis of explicit parameter restrictions. We derive the asymptotic distributions of the corresponding likelihood ratio test statistics and compute the Bartlett adjustments. The results are non-trivial because the unrestricted state space model is not (even locally) identified. We apply our analysis to test the validity…

IPAD：结合 Knockoffs 推断的稳定可解释预测AI 解读

Interpretability and stability are two important features that are desired in many contemporary big data applications arising in statistics, economics, and finance. While the former is enjoyed to some extent by many existing forecasting approaches, the latter in the sense of controlling the fraction of wrongly discovered features which can enhance greatly the interpretability is still largely underdeveloped. To this end, in this paper we exploit the general framework of…

货币政策对资产价格的时变影响AI 解读

This paper studies how monetary policy jointly affects asset prices and the real economy in the United States. I develop an estimator that uses high-frequency surprises as a proxy for the structural monetary policy shocks. This is achieved by integrating the surprises into a vector autoregressive model as an exogenous variable. I use current short-term rate surprises because these are least affected by an information effect. When allowing for time-varying model parameters, I…

比较可能误设的预测AI 解读

Recent work has emphasized the importance of evaluating estimates of a statistical functional (such as a conditional mean, quantile, or distribution) using a loss function that is consistent for the functional of interest, of which there is an infinite number. If forecasters all use correctly specified models free from estimation error, and if the information sets of competing forecasters are nested, then the ranking induced by a single consistent loss function is sufficient…

弱依赖时间序列的最大相关白噪声检验AI 解读

This article presents a bootstrapped p -value white noise test based on the maximum correlation, for a time series that may be weakly dependent under the null hypothesis. The time series may be prefiltered residuals. The test statistic is a normalized weighted maximum sample correlation coefficient $ \max _{1\leq h\leq \mathcal {L}_{n}}\sqrt {n}|\hat {\omega }_{n}(h)\hat {\rho }_{n}(h)|$ , where $\hat {\omega }_{n}(h)$ are weights and the maximum lag $ \mathcal {L}_{n}$ incre…

一种外观类似 Hodrick–Prescott 滤波的平滑方法AI 解读

In recent decades, in the research community of macroeconometric time series analysis, we have observed growing interest in the smoothing method known as the Hodrick–Prescott (HP) filter. This article examines the properties of an alternative smoothing method that looks like the HP filter, but is much less well known. We show that this is actually more like the exponential smoothing filter than the HP filter although it is obtainable through a slight modification of the HP…

I(1) 与 I(2) 自回归希尔伯特空间过程的表示AI 解读

We develop versions of the Granger–Johansen representation theorems for I(1) and I(2) vector autoregressive processes that apply to processes taking values in an arbitrary complex separable Hilbert space. This more general setting is of central relevance for statistical applications involving functional time series. An I(1) or I(2) solution to an autoregressive law of motion is obtained when the inverse of the autoregressive operator pencil has a pole of first or second…

函数型自回归过程中的协整AI 解读

This article defines the class of ${\cal H}$ -valued autoregressive (AR) processes with a unit root of finite type, where ${\cal H}$ is a possibly infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space, and derives a generalization of the Granger–Johansen Representation Theorem valid for any integration order $d = 1,2, \ldots$ . An existence theorem shows that the solution of an AR process with a unit root of finite type is necessarily integrated of some finite integer order d ,…

GARCH 模型中 M 估计量的自助法推断AI 解读

Summary We consider the weighted bootstrap approximation to the distribution of a class of M-estimators for the parameters of the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic model. We prove that the bootstrap distribution, given the data, is a consistent estimate in probability of the distribution of the M-estimator, which is asymptotically normal. We propose an algorithm for the computation of M-estimates which at the same time is useful for computing bootstrap…

时间序列水平变化检测的稳健方法AI 解读

Summary We present a robust and nonparametric test for the presence of a changepoint in a time series, based on the two-sample Hodges–Lehmann estimator. We develop new limit theory for a class of statistics based on two-sample U-quantile processes in the case of short-range dependent observations. Using this theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of our test statistic under the null hypothesis of a constant level. The proposed test shows better overall performance…

大型时变参数 VAR 的状态空间降维AI 解读

This paper proposes a new approach to estimating high dimensional time varying parameter structural vector autoregressive models (TVP-SVARs) by taking advantage of an empirical feature of TVP-(S)VARs. TVP-(S)VAR models are rarely used with more than 4–5 variables. However recent work has shown the advantages of modelling VARs with large numbers of variables and interest has naturally increased in modelling large dimensional TVP-VARs. A feature that has not yet been utilized…

含随机波动率的大型贝叶斯 VAR 的复合似然方法AI 解读

Summary Adding multivariate stochastic volatility of a flexible form to large vector autoregressions (VARs) involving over 100 variables has proved challenging owing to computational considerations and overparametrization concerns. The existing literature works with either homoskedastic models or smaller models with restrictive forms for the stochastic volatility. In this paper, we develop composite likelihood methods for large VARs with multivariate stochastic volatility.…

时变个体效应面板数据中的变点估计AI 解读

Summary Existing panel data methods remove unobserved individual effects before change point estimation through data transformations such as first‐differencing. In this paper, we show that multiple change points can be consistently estimated in short panels via ordinary least squares. Since no data variation is removed before change point estimation, our method has better small‐sample properties compared to first‐differencing methods. We also propose two tests that identify…

因子预测中差分与不差分的比较AI 解读

Summary This paper studies performance of factor‐based forecasts using differenced and nondifferenced data. Approximate variances of forecasting errors from the two forecasts are derived and compared. It is reported that the forecast using nondifferenced data tends to be more accurate than that using differenced data. This paper conducts simulations to compare root mean squared forecasting errors of the two competing forecasts. Simulation results indicate that forecasting…

适用于固定T面板的截面平均主成分方法AI 解读

Summary Because of the increased availability of large panel data sets, common factor models have become very popular. The workhorse of the literature is the principal components (PC) method, which is based on an eigen‐analysis of the sample covariance matrix of the data. Some of its uses are to estimate the factors and their loadings, to determine the number of factors, and to conduct inference when estimated factors are used in panel regression models. The bulk of the…

初创企业对地方劳动力市场的作用AI 解读

Summary There are substantial differences in startup activity across US local labor markets. We study the causes and consequences of these differences. Startup productivity shocks are found to drive much of these cross‐city differences in startup activity. Examples of such shocks include breakthroughs in biotech that spurred startup formation in San Diego and Philadelphia. Overall, these shocks explain half of the forecast error variance of startup job creation, accounting…
