高频事件研究中因果效应的识别与估计
- 研究问题
- 作者研究政策公告附近的高频回归何时识别因果效应，并指出仅缩短事件窗口不足以保证意外政策变化的因果解释。
- 方法与思路
- 作者分析政策冲击效应的可分离性与相对外生性，后者要求窗口内政策冲击与其他变量的方差比无穷大，并推导估计量性质。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要称，在这些条件下明确回归系数的因果对象，建立一致性和渐近正态性，并允许一般非线性及提供货币政策应用分析程序。
- 阅读关注点
- 应核对可分离性的函数限制、无限方差比如何落实到渐近框架、系数对应的因果对象，以及实证程序如何衡量识别条件的充分程度。
- 阅读边界
- 依据 arXiv 预印本摘要，同行评审或期刊接收未核实；摘要不足以判断具体公告窗口满足识别条件，也不能把短窗口直接当作外生性。
原文摘要
We provide precise conditions for nonparametric identification of causal effects by high-frequency event study regressions, which have been used widely in the recent macroeconomics, financial economics and political economy literatures. The high-frequency event study method regresses changes in an outcome variable on a measure of unexpected changes in a policy variable in a narrow time window around an event or a policy announcement (e.g., a 30-minute window around an FOMC announcement). We show that, contrary to popular belief, the narrow size of the window is not sufficient for identification. Rather, the population regression coefficient identifies a causal estimand when (i) the effect of the policy shock on the outcome does not depend on the other variables (separability) and (ii) the surprise component of the news or event dominates all other variables that are present in the event window (relative exogeneity). Technically, the latter condition requires the ratio between the variance of the policy shock and that of the other variables to be infinite in the event window. Under these conditions, we establish the causal meaning of the event study estimand corresponding to the regression coefficient and the consistency and asymptotic normality of the event study estimator. Notably, this standard linear regression estimator is robust to general forms of nonlinearity. We apply our results to Nakamura and Steinsson's (2018a) analysis of the real economic effects of monetary policy, providing a simple empirical procedure to analyze the extent to which the standard event study estimator adequately estimates causal effects of interest.
