含因子结构的噪声高频观测下非凸高维时变系数估计AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a novel high-dimensional time-varying coefficient estimator for noisy high-frequency observations with a factor structure. In high-frequency finance, we often observe that noises dominate the signal of underlying true processes and that covariates exhibit a factor structure due to their strong dependence. Thus, we cannot apply usual regression procedures to analyze high-frequency observations. To handle the noises, we first employ a smoothing method…

多预测变量回归的稳健推断及债券风险溢价应用AI 解读

We propose a robust hypothesis testing procedure for the predictability of multiple predictors that could be highly persistent. Our method improves the popular extended instrumental variable (IVX) testing (Phillips and Lee, 2013; Kostakis et al., 2015) in that, besides addressing the two bias effects found in Hosseinkouchack and Demetrescu (2021), we find and deal with the variance-enlargement effect. We show that two types of higher-order terms induce these distortion…

粗糙度特征函数AI 解读

Inspired by the activity signature introduced by Todorov and Tauchen (2010), which was used to measure the activity of a semimartingale, this paper introduces the roughness signature function. The paper illustrates how it can be used to determine whether a discretely observed process is generated by a continuous process that is rougher than a Brownian motion, a pure-jump process, or a combination of the two. Further, if a continuous rough process is present, the function…
