区间值数据的约束回归AI 解读

Current regression models for interval-valued data do not guarantee that the predicted lower bound of the interval is always smaller than its upper bound. We propose a constrained regression model that preserves the natural order of the interval in all instances, either for in-sample fitted intervals or for interval forecasts. Within the framework of interval time series, we specify a general dynamic bivariate system for the upper and lower bounds of the intervals. By…

含前定解释变量的动态面板似然估计AI 解读

This article discusses the likelihood-based estimation of panel data models with individual-specific effects and both lagged dependent variable regressors and additional predetermined explanatory variables. The resulting new estimator, labeled as subsystem limited information maximum likelihood (ssLIML), is asymptotically equivalent to standard panel generalized method of moment as N → ∞ for fixed T but tends to present smaller biases in finite samples as illustrated in…

分数阶单整系统的长期识别AI 解读

We propose an extension of structural fractionally integrated vector autoregressive models that avoids certain undesirable effects on the impulse responses that occur if long-run identification restrictions are imposed. We derive the model’s Granger representation and investigate the effects of long-run restrictions. Simulations illustrate that enforcing integer integration orders can have severe consequences for impulse responses. In a system of U.S. real output and…

向量自回归与多元非线性时间序列模型的自动设定检验AI 解读

This article introduces an automatic test for the correct specification of a vector autoregression (VAR) model. The proposed test statistic is a Portmanteau statistic with an automatic selection of the order of the residual serial correlation tested. The test presents several attractive characteristics: simplicity, robustness, and high power in finite samples. The test is simple to implement since the researcher does not need to specify the order of the autocorrelation…

非恒定长记忆参数的检测AI 解读

This article deals with detection of a nonconstant long memory parameter in time series. The null hypothesis presumes stationary or nonstationary time series with a constant long memory parameter, typically an I ( d ) series with d > −.5 . The alternative corresponds to an increase in persistence and includes in particular an abrupt or gradual change from I ( d 1 ) to I ( d 2 ), −.5 < d 1 < d 2 . We discuss several test statistics based on the ratio of forward and backward…

具有 ARCH(1) 误差的 AR(1) 模型的尾指数AI 解读

Relevant sample quantities such as the sample autocorrelation function and extremes contain useful information about autoregressive time series with heteroskedastic errors. As these quantities usually depend on the tail index of the underlying heteroskedastic time series, estimating the tail index becomes an important task. Since the tail index of such a model is determined by a moment equation, one can estimate the underlying tail index by solving the sample moment equation…

罕见事件的自动去簇AI 解读

The analysis of events with low probability but disastrous impact entails understanding how they cluster in time. We present an automatic three-step procedure for identifying clusters, estimating the cluster size distribution and constructing confidence intervals for the extremal index, which measures the degree of clustering of rare events. The third step combines empirical likelihood and parametric likelihood approaches. Simulations show that our new procedure performs…

离散响应时间序列的自适应组合预测AI 解读

Adaptive combining is generally a desirable approach for forecasting, which, however, has rarely been explored for discrete response time series. In this paper, we propose an adaptively combined forecasting method for such discrete response data. We demonstrate in theory that the proposed forecast is of the desired adaptation with respect to the widely used squared risk and other significant risk functions under mild conditions. Furthermore, we study the issue of adaptation…

含非平稳性的三角方程系统半参数估计AI 解读

A system of multivariate semiparametric nonlinear time series models is studied with possible dependence structures and nonstationarities in the parametric and nonparametric components. The parametric regressors may be endogenous while the nonparametric regressors are assumed to be strictly exogenous. The parametric regressors may be stationary or nonstationary and the nonparametric regressors are nonstationary integrated time series. Semiparametric least squares (SLS)…

积分阶数未知时的趋势突变检验AI 解读

Harvey, Leybourne and Taylor [Harvey, D.I., Leybourne, S.J., Taylor, A.M.R. 2009. Simple, robust and powerful tests of the breaking trend hypothesis. Econometric Theory 25, 995–1029] develop a test for the presence of a broken linear trend at an unknown point in the sample whose size is asymptotically robust as to whether the (unknown) order of integration of the data is either zero or one. This test is not size controlled, however, when this order assumes fractional values;…

静态因子的主成分估计与识别AI 解读

It is known that the principal component estimates of the factors and the loadings are rotations of the underlying latent factors and loadings. We study conditions under which the latent factors can be estimated asymptotically without rotation. We derive the limiting distributions for the estimated factors and factor loadings when N and T are large and make precise how identification of the factors affects inference based on factor augmented regressions. We also consider…

为何高斯宏观金融期限结构模型几乎是不受约束的因子VARAI 解读

This paper explores the implications of filtering and no-arbitrage for the maximum likelihood estimates of the entire conditional distribution of the risk factors and bond yields in Gaussian macro-finance term structure model (MTSM) when all yields are priced imperfectly. For typical yield curves and macro-variables studied in this literature, the estimated joint distribution within a canonical MTSM is nearly identical to the estimate from an economic-model-free factor…

基于小波方差的复合随机过程参数估计AI 解读

This article presents a new estimation method for the parameters of a time series model. We consider here composite Gaussian processes that are the sum of independent Gaussian processes which, in turn, explain an important aspect of the time series, as is the case in engineering and natural sciences. The proposed estimation method offers an alternative to classical estimation based on the likelihood, that is straightforward to implement and often the only feasible estimation…

大型 DSGE 模型的因子分析AI 解读

SUMMARY We study the workings of the factor analysis of high‐dimensional data using artificial series generated from a large, multi‐sector dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. The objective is to use the DSGE model as a laboratory that allows us to shed some light on the practical benefits and limitations of using factor analysis techniques on economic data. We explain in what sense the artificial data can be thought of having a factor structure, study the…

非线性 DSGE 模型与中心差分卡尔曼滤波AI 解读

SUMMARY This paper introduces a quasi maximum likelihood approach based on the central difference Kalman filter to estimate non‐linear dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models with potentially non‐Gaussian shocks. We argue that this estimator can be expected to be consistent and asymptotically normal for DSGE models solved up to third order. These properties are verified in a Monte Carlo study for a DSGE model solved to second and third order with structural…

非平稳非对称 GARCH 模型的统计推断AI 解读

This paper considers the statistical inference of the class of asymmetric power-transformed $\operatorname{GARCH}(1,1)$ models in presence of possible explosiveness. We study the explosive behavior of volatility when the strict stationarity condition is not met. This allows us to establish the asymptotic normality of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QMLE) of the parameter, including the power but without the intercept, when strict stationarity does not hold. Two…

基于方差分解的波动率建模AI 解读

In this paper, we propose two parametric alternatives to the standard GJR-GARCH model of Glosten et al. (1993), based on additive and multiplicative decompositions of the variance. They allow the variance of the model to have a smooth time-varying structure. The suggested parameterizations describe structural change in the conditional and unconditional variances where the transition between regimes over time is smooth. The main focus is on the multiplicative decomposition of…

确定预测所需的均方误差最优序列子集AI 解读

In this paper, we address the question of which subset of time series should be selected among a given set in order to forecast another series. We evaluate the quality of the forecasts in terms of Mean Squared Error. We propose a family of criteria to estimate the optimal subset. Consistency results are proved, both in the weak (in probability) and strong (almost sure) sense. We present the results of a Monte Carlo experiment and a real data example in which the criteria are…

全样本范围内的结构稳定性检验AI 解读

The paper examines a Lagrange Multiplier type test for the constancy of the parameter in general models with dependent data without imposing any artificial choice of the possible location of the break. In order to prove the asymptotic behaviour of the test, we extend a strong approximation result for partial sums of a sequence of random variables. We also present a Monte-Carlo experiment to examine the finite sample performance of the test and how it compares with tests…

利用Gibbs抽样输出计算边际数据密度的方法AI 解读

We introduce two estimators for estimating the Marginal Data Density (MDD) from the Gibbs output. Our methods are based on exploiting the analytical tractability condition, which requires that some parameter blocks can be analytically integrated out from the conditional posterior densities. This condition is satisfied by several widely used time series models. An empirical application to six-variate VAR models shows that the bias of a fully computational estimator is…

多因子误差结构下的面板单位根检验AI 解读

This paper extends the cross-sectionally augmented panel unit root test (CIPS) proposed by Pesaran (2007) to the case of a multifactor error structure, and proposes a new panel unit root test based on a simple average of cross-sectionally augmented Sargan–Bhargava statistics (CSB). The basic idea is to exploit information regarding the m unobserved factors that are shared by k observed time series in addition to the series under consideration. Initially, we develop the tests…

面板向量自回归过程的多步预测AI 解读

This paper considers the conventional recursive (otherwise known as plug-in) and direct multistep forecasts in a panel vector autoregressive framework. We derive asymptotic expressions for the mean square prediction error (MSPE) of both forecasts as N (cross sections) and T (time periods) grow large. Both the bias and variance of the least squares fitting are manifest in the MSPE. Using these expressions, we consider the effect of model specification on predictor accuracy.…

时间序列条件分位数的非参数推断AI 解读

This paper considers model-free hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction for conditional quantiles of time series. A new method, which is based on inversion of the smoothed empirical likelihood of the conditional distribution function around the local polynomial estimator, is proposed. The associated inferential procedures do not require variance estimation, and the confidence intervals are automatically shaped by data. We also construct the bias-corrected…

无限方差时间序列的预期损失估计与推断AI 解读

We study estimation and inference of the expected shortfall for time series with infinite variance. Both the smoothed and nonsmoothed estimators are investigated. The rate of convergence is determined by the tail thickness parameter, and the limiting distribution is in the stable class with parameters depending on the tail thickness parameter of the time series and on the dependence structure, which makes inference complicated. A subsampling procedure is proposed to carry…
