存在结构突变的异质面板估计AI 解读

This paper extends Pesaran’s (2006) work on common correlated effects (CCE) estimators for large heterogeneous panels with a general multifactor error structure by allowing for unknown common structural breaks. Structural breaks due to new policy implementation or major technological shocks, are more likely to occur over a longer time span. Consequently, ignoring structural breaks may lead to inconsistent estimation and invalid inference. We propose a general framework that…

通过自适应组融合LASSO估计面板共同突变AI 解读

In this paper we consider estimation and inference of common breaks in panel data models via adaptive group fused Lasso. We consider two approaches—penalized least squares (PLS) for first-differenced models without endogenous regressors, and penalized GMM (PGMM) for first-differenced models with endogeneity. We show that with probability tending to one, both methods can correctly determine the unknown number of breaks and estimate the common break dates consistently. We…

未知形式条件异方差下的VAR推断AI 解读

We consider a framework for asymptotically valid inference in stable vector autoregressive (VAR) models with conditional heteroskedasticity of unknown form. A joint central limit theorem for the LS estimators of both the VAR slope parameters as well as the unconditional innovation variance parameters is obtained from a weak vector autoregressive moving average model set-up recently proposed in the literature. Our results are important for correct inference on VAR statistics…

通过惩罚最大似然高效估计近似因子模型AI 解读

We study an approximate factor model in the presence of both cross sectional dependence and heteroskedasticity. For efficient estimations it is essential to estimate a large error covariance matrix. We estimate the common factors and factor loadings based on maximizing a Gaussian quasi-likelihood, through penalizing a large covariance sparse matrix. The weighted ℓ1 penalization is employed. While the principal components (PC) based methods estimate the covariance matrices…

具有长记忆状态变量的仿射期限结构模型AI 解读

We develop a Gaussian discrete time essentially affine term structure model with long memory state variables. This feature reconciles the strong persistence observed in nominal yields and inflation with the theoretical implications of affine models, especially for long maturities. We characterize in closed-form the dynamic and cross-sectional implications of long memory for our model. We explain how long memory can naturally arise within the term structure of interest rates,…

系统性风险与宏观经济：一项实证评估AI 解读

This article studies how systemic risk and financial market distress affect the distribution of shocks to real economic activity. We analyze how changes in 19 different measures of systemic risk skew the distribution of subsequent shocks to industrial production and other macroeconomic variables in the US and Europe over several decades. We also propose dimension reduction estimators for constructing systemic risk indexes from the cross section of measures and demonstrate…

结构向量自回归过程的贝叶斯图模型AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes a Bayesian, graph‐based approach to identification in vector autoregressive (VAR) models. In our Bayesian graphical VAR (BGVAR) model, the contemporaneous and temporal causal structures of the structural VAR model are represented by two different graphs. We also provide an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to estimate jointly the two causal structures and the parameters of the reduced‐form VAR model. The BGVAR approach is shown to be…

单指标与部分线性单指标积分模型的估计AI 解读

Estimation mainly for two classes of popular models, single-index and partially linear single-index models, is studied in this paper. Such models feature nonstationarity. Orthogonal series expansion is used to approximate the unknown integrable link functions in the models and a profile approach is used to derive the estimators. The findings include the dual rate of convergence of the estimators for the single-index models and a trio of convergence rates for the partially…

不同模型误设程度下变点模型的渐近理论AI 解读

Change-point models are widely used by statisticians to model drastic changes in the pattern of observed data. Least squares/maximum likelihood based estimation of change-points leads to curious asymptotic phenomena. When the change-point model is correctly specified, such estimates generally converge at a fast rate ($n$) and are asymptotically described by minimizers of a jump process. Under complete mis-specification by a smooth curve, that is, when a change-point model is…

广义误差独立性的非参数自助检验AI 解读

In this paper, we develop a general method of testing for independence when unobservable generalized errors are involved. Our method can be applied to testing for serial independence of generalized errors, and testing for independence between the generalized errors and observable covariates. The former can serve as a unified approach to testing the adequacy of time series models, as model adequacy often implies that the generalized errors obtained after a suitable…

基于广义最小二乘去趋势数据的残差协整检验AI 解读

We provide generalized least‐squares (GLS) detrended versions of single‐equation static regression or residuals‐based tests for testing whether or not non‐stationary time series are cointegrated. Our approach is to consider nearly optimal tests for unit roots and to apply them in the cointegration context. We derive the local asymptotic power functions of all tests considered for a triangular data‐generating process, imposing a directional restriction such that the…

平稳与非平稳自回归中自适应 Lasso 的一致及保守模型选择AI 解读

We show that the adaptive Lasso is oracle efficient in stationary and nonstationary autoregressions. This means that it estimates parameters consistently, selects the correct sparsity pattern, and estimates the coefficients belonging to the relevant variables at the same asymptotic efficiency as if only these had been included in the model from the outset. In particular, this implies that it is able to discriminate between stationary and nonstationary autoregressions and it…

非平稳数据的非参数变换回归AI 解读

We examine a kernel regression estimator for time series that takes account of the error correlation structure as proposed by Xiao et al. (2003, Journal of the American Statistical Association 98, 980–992). We show that this method continues to improve estimation in the case where the regressor is a unit root or a near unit root process.

通过边际似然提取阶梯状信号AI 解读

This paper studies the estimation of stepwise signal. To determine the number and locations of change-points of the stepwise signal, we formulate a maximum marginal likelihood estimator, which can be computed with a quadratic cost using dynamic programming. We carry out extensive investigation on the choice of the prior distribution and study the asymptotic properties of the maximum marginal likelihood estimator. We propose to treat each possible set of change-points equally…

In this article, we develop a mixed frequency dynamic factor model in which the disturbances of both the latent common factor and of the idiosyncratic components have time-varying stochastic volatilities. We use the model to investigate business cycle dynamics in the euro area and present three sets of empirical results. First, we evaluate the impact of macroeconomic releases on point and density forecast accuracy and on the width of forecast intervals. Second, we show how…

门限双重自回归模型的检验与估计AI 解读

This article first proposes a score-based test for a double autoregressive model against a threshold double autoregressive (AR) model. It is an asymptotically distribution-free test and is easy to implement in practice. The article further studies the quasi-maximum likelihood estimation of a threshold double autoregressive model. It is shown that the estimated threshold is n-consistent and converges weakly to a functional of a two-sided compound Poisson process and the…

利用非伪因子预测美国宏观经济时间序列AI 解读

This study examines the practical implications of the fact that structural changes in factor loadings can produce spurious factors (or irrelevant factors) in forecasting exercises. These spurious factors can induce an overfitting problem in factor-augmented forecasting models. To address this concern, we propose a method to estimate nonspurious factors by identifying the set of response variables that have no structural changes in their factor loadings. Our theoretical…

时间序列模型中的非线性、结构突变与长程依赖AI 解读

We study the simultaneous occurrence of long memory and nonlinear effects, such as parameter changes and threshold effects, in time series models and apply our modeling framework to daily realized measures of integrated variance. We develop asymptotic theory for parameter estimation and propose two model-building procedures. The methodology is applied to stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the period 2000 to 2009. We find strong evidence of nonlinear effects in…

交互固定效应动态面板模型的收缩估计AI 解读

We consider the problem of determining the number of factors and selecting the proper regressors in linear dynamic panel data models with interactive fixed effects. Based on the preliminary estimates of the slope parameters and factors a la Bai (2009) and Moon and Weidner (2015), we propose a method for simultaneous selection of regressors and factors and estimation through the method of adaptive group Lasso (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator). We show that…

含趋势协整模型的伪高斯与局部最优秩检验AI 解读

This paper provides pseudo-Gaussian and locally optimal rank-based tests for the cointegration rank in linear cointegrated error-correction models with common trends and i.i.d. elliptical innovations. The proposed tests are asymptotically distribution-free, hence their validity does not depend on the actual distribution of the innovations. The proposed rank-based tests depend on the choice of scores, associated with a reference density that can freely be chosen. Under…

利用有限信息贝叶斯模型平均重新考察经济增长决定因素AI 解读

Summary We revisit the growth empirics debate using a novel limited‐information Bayesian model averaging framework in short T panels that addresses model uncertainty, dynamics, and endogeneity. We construct an estimator without restrictive distributional assumptions, illustrate its performance using simulations, and apply it to the investigation of growth determinants. Once model uncertainty, dynamics, and endogeneity are accounted for, we identify several factors that are…

金融网络动态与持久性的估计：英镑货币市场应用AI 解读

Summary We propose a novel methodology for dynamic econometric modelling of large financial networks subject to persistence, structural changes and sparsity. We estimate bivariate dynamic Tobit‐type models for each pair of banks, allowing for deterministic or stochastic time‐varying parameters, and then aggregate across all bank pairs. To tackle the high dimensionality of the model, we construct a few lagged variables that efficiently summarize the position of a bank pair in…

空间 Durbin 面板模型的识别AI 解读

Summary This paper considers identification of spatial Durbin dynamic panel models under 2SLS and ML estimations. We show that the parameters are generally identified via 2SLS moment relations or expected log‐likelihood or quasi‐likelihood functions. Monte Carlo experiments suggest that omitting relevant Durbin terms can result in significant biases in regression estimates, while including an irrelevant Durbin term causes no obvious loss of efficiency. Empirical illustration…
