A Test for a Specific Principal Component of a Correlation Matrix

In the application of principal components analysis it is common to replace an observed sample principal component vector by another vector closely resembling the sample vector but which is easier to use or interpret. A useful test of hypothesis in this case is one that specifies the true ith principal component. In this article we obtain an asymptotically chi-squared procedure suitable for testing such a hypothesis when the principal components analysis is performed on a correlation matrix. The procedure easily extends to a principal components analysis based on M estimates of scatter.

Bootstrap inference in factor-augmented regressions with weak factors

Peiyun Jiang · Takashi Yamagata首次提交 2025-10-01 · 修订 2026-10-14 · v2arXiv预印本

In this paper, we develop bootstrap methods for factor-augmented regressions with potentially weak common components, allowing signal eigenvalues to diverge at heterogeneous rates $N^{α_k}$, where $0<α_k\leq1$, $k=1,\ldots,r$. The regression estimator targets a rotation of the latent parameter vector that may be data dependent, while factor estimation can induce asymptotic bias. The proposed procedure directly constructs the rotation-specific target in the bootstrap world,…

Propensity score with factor loadings: evaluating the effect of the Paris Agreement on the returns of European stocks

Factor models for longitudinal data, where policy adoption is unconfounded with respect to a low-dimensional set of latent factor loadings, have become increasingly popular for causal inference. Most existing approaches, however, rely on a causal finite-sample approach or computationally intensive methods, limiting their applicability and external validity. In this paper, we propose a novel method for panel causal inference within a super-population framework, based on…

多因子线性资产定价模型 GMM 估计中的效率与定价精度权衡AI 解读

Even though a multi-factor linear asset pricing model can be equivalently represented in a Beta or in a stochastic discount factor (SDF) form, its inferential efficiency and pricing accuracy features may differ when estimated by the generalized method of moments (GMM), both in small and in large samples. We derive the analytical asymptotic variance of the Beta and the SDF estimators under GMM and find that the SDF approach is likely to be less efficient but to yield more…

多层主效应矩阵因子模型AI 解读

We propose a multilevel main effects matrix factor model (MMEFM) to extract meaningful row and column effects from groups of matrix data. As a generalization of a multilevel matrix factor model, we provide rigorous definitions of MMEFM and identifications, together with iterative algorithms for the estimators of all global and local components in the main effects and common component, including global/local main effects and core ranks, with rates of convergence spelt out. An…

We consider estimation of large approximate factor models in high-dimensional panels of stationary time series using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We review the key results establishing the necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators, which hold when both the cross-sectional dimension $n$ and the sample size $T$ tend to infinity. Special emphasis is placed on identification. First, we show that the common and…

平均处理效应局部化：合成控制中的投影方法AI 解读

Many real-world policies and business interventions require assessing short-term effects to inform timely decisions, even though most causal inference methods focus on long-term average treatment effects. In this article, we introduce average treatment effect localization (ATEL), which captures localized, short-term policy impacts in panel data settings with a single treated unit and provides early indicators of policy impact. To accommodate both time-varying and nonlinear…
