A Large Confirmatory Dynamic Factor Model for Stock Market Returns in Different Time Zones
跨时区股票收益的大型验证性动态因子模型
We propose a confirmatory dynamic factor model for a large number of stocks whose returns are observed daily across multiple time zones. The model has a global factor and a continental factor that both drive the individual stock return series. We propose two estimators of the model: a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QML-just-identified), and an improved estimator based on an Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm (QML-all-res). Our estimators are consistent and…
