Distributional Granger Causality: Identification, Sequential Inference, and Adaptive Testing
分布格兰杰因果:识别、序贯推断与自适应检验
Predictive dependence in time series need not be confined to the conditional mean. Outside the Gaussian setting, causal content may arise through conditional scale, tail behavior, asymmetry, or other distributional features, implying that no single Granger-type test provides a complete characterization of predictive dependence. This paper develops a framework for distributional Granger causality based on a finite collection of channel-specific restrictions. Under suitable…
