因果状态依赖局部投影AI 解读

State-dependent local projections (LPs) are widely used to study how causal effects vary as a function of economic states, but shock exogeneity alone does not identify this response function. We show that identification follows when the underlying conditional mean is linear in the shock with a state-dependent coefficient, a condition satisfied in canonical micro-macro environments, including first-order perturbation solutions of heterogeneous-agent and macro-finance models.…

工具变量回归中的简便稳健程序AI 解读

A common concern in empirical modelling centres around whether estimated regression coefficients are affected by a small set of outlying observations. To conduct outlier robustness checks in practical applications of instrumental variables regressions, the common practice is to run ordinary two stage least squares (2SLS) and remove observations with standardised residuals beyond a chosen cut-off value. Subsequently, the trimmed 2SLS is computed and compared to the original…

协整非线性结构 VAR 中共同趋势的推断AI 解读

We consider the problem of performing inference on the number of common stochastic trends when data is generated by a cointegrated CKSVAR (a two-regime, piecewise affine SVAR; Mavroeidis, 2021), using a modified version of the Breitung (2002) multivariate variance ratio test that is robust to the presence of nonlinear cointegration (of a known form). To derive the asymptotics of our test statistic, we prove a fundamental LLN-type result for a class of stable but…
