Impulse Response Inference for Matrix Autoregressions
矩阵自回归模型的脉冲响应推断
Matrix autoregressive (MAR) models offer a parsimonious framework for modeling matrix-valued time series, yet tools for estimation and inference for their impulse response functions are lacking. We develop asymptotic and bootstrap-based inference for impulse responses of stable MAR($p$) models. We derive the joint asymptotic distribution of the coefficient and covariance estimators, which permits closed-form delta-method standard errors. To address finite-sample bias, we…
