识别失败与模型设定正确性的协调检验AI 解读

We develop a specification test for GMM and Minimum Distance (MD) inference that is: (i) robust to weak identification; (ii) easy to implement and broadly applicable; and (iii) has meaningful power. Our specification test is based on a conditional inference approach: information about the existence of strongly identified directions in the parameter space is exploited to define a data-dependent critical value, which, in turn, increases the power of the resulting specification…

用于企业生存预测的高维删失 MIDAS 逻辑回归AI 解读

This paper addresses the challenge of forecasting corporate distress, a problem marked by three key statistical hurdles: (i) right censoring, (ii) high-dimensional predictors, and (iii) mixed-frequency data. To overcome these complexities, we introduce a novel high-dimensional censored MIDAS (Mixed Data Sampling) logistic regression. Our approach handles censoring through inverse probability weighting and achieves accurate estimation with numerous mixed-frequency predictors…

任意带宽选择下的预测模型权重形状优化AI 解读

Parameter instability has been widely documented to lead to poor predictive accuracy for economic forecasting models. Adaptive schemes for data weighting, such as rolling-window estimation, only involve a single tuning parameter (akin to a bandwidth) and have been widely used to address this issue. The importance of the shape of the weighting scheme (kernel) has received far less attention in the forecasting literature. In this paper we show that in practice there can be a…

利用混频数据改进密度预测：贝叶斯方法AI 解读

We construct a modeling framework that allows for the flexible contribution of intraday information to predict the conditional distribution of asset returns. A flexible spline specification is proposed to capture the contribution of intraday returns inside GARCH and stochastic volatility specifications for daily returns. The “focused Bayesian” prediction framework is adopted to allow the intraday contribution to the simpler GARCH specification to be trained according to the…

分簇网络连通性：测度框架及全球股票市场应用AI 解读

Network connections, both across and within markets, are central in countless economic contexts. In recent decades, a large literature has developed and applied flexible methods for measuring network connectedness and its evolution, based on variance decompositions from vector autoregressions (VARs), as in Diebold and Yilmaz (2014). Those VARs are, however, typically identified using full orthogonalization (Sims, 1980), or no orthogonalization (Koop et al., 1996; Pesaran and…

选民偏好的共同变动：超越民调的美国总统选举预测市场信息AI 解读

We propose a novel time-series econometric framework to forecast U.S. Presidential election outcomes in real time by combining polling data, economic fundamentals, and political prediction market prices. Our model estimates the joint dynamics of voter preferences across states. Applying our approach to the 2024 Presidential Election, we find a two-factor structure driving the vast majority of the variation in voter preferences. We identify electorally similar state clusters…

时变参数MIDAS模型：美国实际GDP即时预测应用AI 解读

We introduce a novel time-varying parameter mixed-data sampling (TVP-MIDAS) framework. Specifically, we allow both the MIDAS weights and the coefficients representing the overall impacts of the high-frequency variables to vary over time. This is done by introducing a class of linear parameterizations, which facilitate estimation in settings with a large number of high-frequency predictors. We demonstrate the usefulness of this framework via an application of nowcasting US…

因子模型的张量主成分分析AI 解读

Modern empirical analysis often relies on high-dimensional panel datasets with non-negligible cross-sectional and time-series correlations. Factor models are natural for capturing such dependencies. A tensor factor model describes the $d$-dimensional panel as a sum of a reduced rank component and an idiosyncratic noise, generalizing traditional factor models for two-dimensional panels. We consider a tensor factor model corresponding to the notion of a reduced multilinear…

含弱识别干扰参数的 GMM 新投影推断方法AI 解读

Projection-based tests for subsets of parameters are useful because they do not over-reject the true parameter values when either it is difficult to estimate the nuisance parameters or their identification status is questionable. However, they are also often criticized for being overly conservative. We overcome this conservativeness by introducing a new projection-based test that is more powerful than the traditional projection-based tests. The new test is even…

二元响应模型的一族经验似然函数与估计量AI 解读

The minimum discrimination information principle is used to identify an appropriate parametric family of probability distributions and the corresponding maximum likelihood estimators for binary response models. Estimators in the family subsume the conventional logit model and form the basis for a set of parametric estimation alternatives with the usual asymptotic properties. Sampling experiments are used to assess finite sample performance.
