Two frequent approaches for identifying structural VARs are external instruments, which carry economic content but are often weak, and non-Gaussianity of the shocks, which provides statistical identification but carries no economic meaning. We combine the two strategies in a single generalized method of moments framework. This hybrid approach point-identifies the target shocks while also identifying the non-target shocks up to sign and ordering. Under suitable rank…

面板数据分位数回归的GMM方法AI 解读

This paper develops a smoothed generalized method of moments (GMM) framework for panel quantile models with individual-specific fixed-effects and endogenous regressors. By smoothing the indicator in the quantile moment conditions and profiling out the individual effects through smoothed individual quantile restrictions, the proposed estimator can be implemented using standard GMM algorithms. We establish consistency, asymptotic normality, and feasible inference under weak…

张量因子模型中多个变点的检测与模态识别AI 解读

We study the problem of modeling high-dimensional tensor-valued time series under a Tucker decomposition-based factor model while permitting the presence of multiple structural change points. Such data call for a method that (i) handles high dimensionality and complex dependence while achieving consistency in multiple change points and further, (ii) addresses a unique challenge posed by the multi-dimensional array setting, of identifying the modes associated with each change…

弱依赖估计方程的两点依赖野生自助法AI 解读

This paper develops a general two-point dependent wild bootstrap (DWB) for weakly dependent estimating equations. Its key feature is that the two-point marginal distribution and the latent serial dependence specification can be chosen separately. The construction combines a normalized two-point distribution with a stationary latent Gaussian process via a Gaussian copula transformation, includes dependent Rademacher and Mammen multipliers, and nests the classical iid…

Banach 空间局部平稳时间序列的函数型中心极限定理AI 解读

A functional central limit theorem for locally stationary time series taking values in a separable Banach space $B$ is established. The result does not require type-2 or cotype assumptions and therefore covers spaces central to functional data analysis, including $C([0,1])$ and $L^p([0,1])$. Under moment conditions, summable physical dependence coefficients, and a bracketing entropy condition controlling the infinite-dimensional tails, the centered and rescaled partial sum…

利用多分位数稳健检验多变量波动率的结构变化AI 解读

We propose an omnibus nonparametric test for structural changes in the multivariate volatility matrix. The test aggregates bounded generalized quantile scores over a range of quantile levels and has a weighted leave-$q$-out $U$-statistic representation. Deleting nearby index pairs renders the centering effect induced by serial dependence asymptotically negligible. All quantities required for implementation, including the variance estimator used for standardization, are…

面板数据中所选群组的条件选择后推断AI 解读

We consider the problem of testing for differences in group-specific slopes between the selected groups in panel data identified via k-means clustering. In this setting, the classical Wald-type test statistic is problematic because it produces an extremely inflated type I error probability. The underlying reason is that the same dataset is used to identify the group structure and construct the test statistic, simultaneously. This creates dependence between the selection and…

时间序列中的动态局部平均处理效应AI 解读

This paper discusses identification, estimation, and inference on dynamic local average treatment effects (LATEs) in instrumental variables (IVs) settings. First, we show that compliers--observations whose treatment status is affected by the instrument--can be identified individually in time series data using smoothness assumptions and local comparisons of treatment assignments. Second, we show that this result enables not only better interpretability of IV estimates but…

时间序列 GMM 的设计型推断AI 解读

This paper studies inference for time-series GMM when uncertainty comes from shock assignment within a realized historical episode. Rather than treating the data as one random draw from a population of hypothetical economies, the framework conditions on the historical environment and considers alternative realizations of shocks and instruments. For locally correctly specified GMM estimators, the centered moment has design long-run variance $Ω_R$, which determines the…

分布格兰杰因果：识别、序贯推断与自适应检验AI 解读

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…

半参数局部投影AI 解读

We propose a semiparametric local projection estimator of nonlinear impulse response functions for a broad class of structural dynamic models relevant for applied macroeconomics, including models with nonlinearly transformed regressors, state dependent coefficients, and nonlinear interactions between shocks and state variables. The estimator is based on a doubly robust moment condition that identifies the average response function as a linear functional of a nonparametric…

可扩展 ARMA 模型的拟极大似然估计AI 解读

The recently proposed scalable ARMA model preserves the parsimony of traditional VARMA models while achieving greater computational tractability. However, existing studies are limited to regularized least squares estimation (LSE) for high-dimensional settings, which is not only statistically less efficient but also requires the sub-Gaussian assumption for its theoretical guarantees. Moreover, it still lacks inference tool for real applications. To fill this gap, we develop a…

基于典型相关分析的高维变换因子模型结构变化检测AI 解读

This paper develops a canonical-correlation-based method for detecting structural changes in high-dimensional transformed factor models. The proposed approach exploits the low-rank canonical-correlation structure induced by dynamically dependent common factors, while serially uncorrelated idiosyncratic components correspond to a noise subspace with zero canonical correlations. We construct an eigenvalue-ratio criterion that measures residual dynamic dependence in the…

准贝叶斯局部投影：同时推断及工具变量扩展AI 解读

Local projections (LPs) are widely used for impulse response analysis, but Bayesian methods face challenges due to the absence of a likelihood function. Existing approaches rely on pseudo-likelihoods, which often result in poorly calibrated posteriors. We propose a quasi-Bayesian method based on the Laplace-type estimator, where a quasi-likelihood is constructed using a generalized method of moments criterion. This approach avoids strict distributional assumptions, ensures…

准贝叶斯局部投影工具变量法：可再生能源与电价应用AI 解读

This paper introduces a quasi-Bayesian approach for local projection instrumental-variables (LP-IV) estimation. It builds a moment-based quasi-posterior using the generalized method of moments (GMM) objective and applies a roughness-penalty prior to smooth impulse responses over different horizons. The approach maintains the key first-order features of traditional LP-IV methods, while enhancing stability in finite samples and allowing for joint inference through simultaneous…

基于函数型分位数自相关的函数型时间序列白噪声检验AI 解读

We introduce a novel class of nonlinear tests for serial dependence in functional time series, grounded in the functional quantile autocorrelation framework. Unlike traditional approaches based on the classical autocovariance kernel, the functional quantile autocorrelation framework leverages quantile-based excursion sets to robustly capture temporal dependence within infinite-dimensional functional data, accommodating potential outliers and complex nonlinear dependencies.…

时变模型的聚类局部投影AI 解读

We propose a clustered local projection (clustered LP) method to estimate impulse response functions in a class of time-varying models where parameter variation is linked to a low-dimensional matrix of observables. We show that the clustered LP recovers the conditional average response when the driving variables are exogenous and a weighted average of the conditional marginal effects when they are endogenous. We propose an iterative estimation method that first classifies…

异质依赖数据下固定设计核平均的一致收敛AI 解读

We provide uniform convergence rates for kernel averages on $[0,1]$ under equally-spaced fixed design points of the form $x_{t,T}=t/T,\ t\in\{1,\dotsc, T\},\ T\in\mathbb{N}$. The rates of weak and strong uniform consistency are derived under strong mixing and moment conditions and do not require stationarity. The analysis exploits the grid structure and thus complements existing random-design results such as those of Hansen (2008) and Kristensen (2009), which rely on…

Lévy 驱动的图 supOU 过程统计推断：从短记忆到长记忆的高维时间序列AI 解读

This article introduces Levy-driven graph supOU processes, a parsimonious parametrisation for high-dimensional time series in which dependence between components is governed by a graph structure. Specifically, the model bridges short- and long-range dependence within a single parametric family while accommodating a wide range of marginal distributions. We further develop a generalised method of moments estimator, establish its consistency and asymptotic normality, and assess…

收入不平等与经济增长：元分析方法AI 解读

The empirical literature on the relationship between income inequality and economic growth has produced highly heterogeneous and often conflicting results. This paper investigates the sources of this heterogeneity using a meta-analytic approach that systematically combines and analyzes evidence from relevant studies published between 1994 and 2025. We find an economically small but statistically significant negative average effect of income inequality on subsequent economic…

高维非线性向量自回归模型的估计AI 解读

High-dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) models have numerous applications in fields such as econometrics, biology, climatology, among others. While prior research has mainly focused on linear VAR models, these approaches can be restrictive in practice. To address this, we introduce a high-dimensional non-parametric sparse additive model, providing a more flexible framework. Our method employs basis expansions to construct high-dimensional nonlinear VAR models. We derive…

独立成分分析系统的估计AI 解读

Although approaches to Independent Component Analysis (ICA) based on characteristic function seem theoretically elegant, they may suffer from implementational challenges because of numerical integration steps or selection of tuning parameters. Extending previously considered objective functions and leveraging results from the continuum Generalized Method of Moments of Carrasco and Florens (2000), I derive an optimal estimator that can take a tractable form and thus bypass…

利用状态切换方法改进标普500波动率预测AI 解读

Accurate prediction of financial market volatility is critical for risk management, derivatives pricing, and investment strategy. In this study, we propose a multitude of regime-switching methods to improve the prediction of S&P 500 volatility by capturing structural changes in the market across time. We use eleven years of SPX data, from May 1st, 2014 to May 27th, 2025, to compute daily realized volatility (RV) from 5-minute intraday log returns, adjusted for irregular…

P-CRE-DML：非线性面板数据因果推断的新方法AI 解读

This paper introduces a novel Proxy-Enhanced Correlated Random Effects Double Machine Learning (P-CRE-DML) framework to estimate causal effects in panel data with non-linearities and unobserved heterogeneity. Combining Double Machine Learning (DML, Chernozhukov et al., 2018), Correlated Random Effects (CRE, Mundlak, 1978), and lagged variables (Arellano & Bond, 1991) and innovating within the CRE-DML framework (Chernozhukov et al., 2022; Clarke & Polselli, 2025; Fuhr &…
