时间序列回归的可行广义最小二乘AI 解读

We consider GLS and OLS estimation in a linear regression model with serially correlated errors, and we provide the following contributions. First, we clarify when OLS is consistent or not. Second, we give sufficient conditions such that GLS is valid without the assumption of exogenous regressors (uncorrelated with past innovations). Third, we devise a feasible GLS procedure valid whether or not the regressors are exogenous, and which achieves a MSE close to that of the…

未观测竞争下的第一价格拍卖非参数识别：密度断点框架AI 解读

We consider nonparametric identification of independent private value first-price auction models, in which the analyst only observes winning bids. Our benchmark model assumes an exogenous number of bidders N. We show that, if the bidders observe N, the resulting discontinuities in the winning bid density can be used to identify the distribution of N. The private value distribution can be nonparametrically identified in a second step. This extends, under testable…

集约边际与广延边际上的处理效应评估AI 解读

This paper provides a solution to the evaluation of treatment effects in selective samples when neither instruments nor parametric assumptions are available. We provide sharp bounds for average treatment effects under a conditional monotonicity assumption for all principal strata, i.e. units characterizing the complete intensive and extensive margins. Most importantly, we allow for a large share of units whose selection is indifferent to treatment, e.g. due to…

交互固定效应面板数据模型与（相对）小 TAI 解读

This paper studies the estimation of a linear panel data model with interactive fixed effects. A transformation is introduced which, after having been applied, renders the least squares (LS) estimator of Bai (2009) consistent and asymptotically unbiased when n is large and T is fixed. This is termed the transformed least squares (TLS) estimator. Going further, these properties are shown to also carry over to the large n, large T setting, provided T /n → 0. This contrasts…

高维面板数据模型的稳健估计与推断AI 解读

This paper provides the relevant literature with a complete toolkit for conducting robust estimation and inference about the parameters of interest involved in a high-dimensional panel data framework. Specifically, (1) we allow for non-Gaussian, serially and cross-sectionally correlated and heteroskedastic error processes, (2) we develop an estimation method for the high-dimensional long-run covariance matrix using a thresholded estimator, (3) we also allow for the number of…

非平稳波动环境下股票收益可预测性的实时监测AI 解读

Stock return predictability, should it exist, is likely to be episodic in nature. In order to exploit such pockets of predictability it is essential that they are rapidly detected, in real-time, as the nascent predictive regime emerges. This will typically entail the repeated (sequential) application of one-shot end-of-sample predictability statistics, updated as new data become available. Consequently, in addition to dealing with the usual inference problems caused by…

时间效应序列相关下双向聚类的刀切法方差估计AI 解读

Chiang, Hansen, and Sasaki (2024) and Chen and Vogelsang (2024) developed cluster-robust variance estimators (CRVEs) for linear regressions with two-way clustered data allowing for arbitrary serial dependence. However, conventional CRVEs can perform poorly in finite samples. We propose jackknife CRVEs and establish their theoretical validity. Our theoretical and simulation results demonstrate several advantages of the proposed procedures. First, the jackknife CRVE delivers…

网络中的测量误差与同伴效应AI 解读

In many practical applications, only noisy proxies for the true regressors are available, which is commonly believed to induce an attenuation bias. In the linear-in-means model, however, estimated peer effects might be inflated, potentially leading to false positives. This paper shows that the asymptotic bias depends on the interplay between individual characteristics and network links and demonstrates how the network structure can facilitate identification without the need…

含不可观测个体特定阈值效应的面板阈值回归AI 解读

This paper provides a new approach to estimation and inference in multiple regime panel threshold regression with unobserved individual-specific threshold effects. Such effects are practically relevant and have features that distinguish them from traditional linear panel data models. It is shown that within-regime demeaning in the static model or within-regime first-differencing in the dynamic model both fail to deliver consistent threshold estimators. Instead, correlated…

资产定价因子模型检验：样本外视角AI 解读

We develop the Sample Splitting Alpha (SSA) test, a formal out-of-sample (OOS) test for evaluating whether an asset pricing factor model satisfies the zero-alpha restriction in high-dimensional settings. The test uses sample splitting to separate portfolio weight estimation from model evaluation and ridge regularization to stabilize the portfolio problem when the number of test assets is large. We show that each single split SSA statistic is asymptotically Gaussian under…

高维线性因子定价模型的 Lq 范数 alpha 检验AI 解读

We consider testing zero pricing errors in high-dimensional linear factor pricing models. Existing methods are mainly based on either an $L_2$ statistic, which is effective under dense alternatives, or an $L_\infty$ statistic, which is powerful under very sparse alternatives. To bridge these two regimes, we develop a class of $L_q$-based tests for finite $q$, including the practically useful $L_4$ and $L_6$ cases. We show that larger $q$ leads to greater sensitivity to…

高维矩阵值时间序列的时空自回归模型AI 解读

Motivated by predicting intraday trading volume curves, we consider two spatio-temporal autoregressive models for matrix time series, in which each column may represent daily trading volume curve of one asset, and each row captures synchronized 5-minute volume intervals acrossmultiple assets. While traditional matrix time series focus mainly on temporal evolution, our approach incorporates both spatial and temporal dynamics, enabling simultaneous analysis of interactions…

非加性固定效应模型的识别：教师质量回报是否同质？AI 解读

Panel or grouped data are often used to allow for unobserved individual heterogeneity in econometric models via fixed effects. In this paper, we discuss identification of a panel data model in which the unobserved heterogeneity both enters additively and interacts with treatment variables. We present identification and estimation methods for parameters of interest in this model under both strict and weak exogeneity assumptions. The key identification insight is that other…

具有动态异质溢出的矩阵值空间自回归AI 解读

We introduce a new time-varying parameter spatial matrix autoregressive model that integrates matrix-valued time series, heterogeneous spillover effects, outlier robustness, and time-varying parameters in one unified framework. The model allows for separate dynamic spatial spillover effects across both the row and column dimensions of the matrix-valued observations. Robustness can be introduced via a matrix Student’s t distribution. The model can still be estimated…

基于离散傅里叶变换检验交互固定效应面板模型的结构变化AI 解读

We propose a discrete Fourier transform (DFT)-based test for detecting structural changes in panel data models with interactive fixed effects (IFE). When structural changes are present but ignored, the conventional asymptotic distribution of the least squares (LS) estimator of Bai (2009) may no longer provide reliable inference, and the resulting residuals contain signals of parameter instability. Our test exploits this feature by comparing the DFT of weighted residuals to…

潜在多维聚类：推断与实践AI 解读

We show how clustering standard errors in one or more dimensions can be justified in M-estimation when there is sampling or assignment uncertainty. Since existing procedures for variance estimation are either conservative or invalid, we propose a variance estimator that refines a conservative procedure and remains valid. We then interpret environments where clustering is frequently employed in empirical work from our design-based perspective and provide insights on their…

时变可预测性的稳健推断：Sieve-IVX 方法AI 解读

Predictive regression models are often used to evaluate the predictive capability of economic fundamentals on bond and equity returns. Inferential procedures in these regressions typically employ parameter constancy or piecewise constancy in slope coefficients. Such formulations are prone to misspecification, more especially during periods of disturbance or evolution in prevailing economic and financial conditions, which can lead to size distortion and spurious evidence of…

混合平稳与非平稳变量的主成分分析AI 解读

This paper develops a procedure for uncovering the common cyclical factors that drive a mix of stationary and nonstationary variables. The method does not require knowing which variables are nonstationary or the nature of the nonstationarity. An application to the FRED-MD macroeconomic dataset demonstrates that the approach offers similar benefits to those of traditional principal component analysis with some added advantages.

截面相依下U统计量的正态逼近AI 解读

We establish normal approximation in the Wasserstein metric for both non-degenerate and degenerate second-order U-statistics under cross-sectional dependence using Stein's method. For the non-degenerate case, our results extend recent studies on the asymptotic properties of sums of cross-sectionally dependent random variables. The degenerate case is more challenging due to the additional dependence induced by the nonlinearity of the U-statistic kernel. Through a specific…

动态系统性风险测度的多元推断AI 解读

This paper provides statistical inference for marginal expected shortfall (MES) and delta conditional value-at-risk (ΔCoVaR) measures, which are semiparametrically estimated by a two-step procedure in a multivariate GARCH-type framework. We establish the asymptotic properties of corresponding estimators and illustrate how the estimation uncertainty can be decomposed into dynamic univariate marginal and time-varying dependence components. Our methodology reveals good finite…

迭代分布式多项回归AI 解读

This article introduces an iterative distributed computing estimator for the multinomial logistic regression model with large choice sets. Compared to the maximum likelihood estimator, the proposed iterative distributed estimator achieves significantly faster computation and, when initialized with a consistent estimator, attains asymptotic efficiency under a weak dominance condition. Additionally, we propose a parametric bootstrap inference procedure based on the iterative…

内生性检验：一种基于矩的贝叶斯方法AI 解读

A standard assumption in the Bayesian estimation of linear regression models is that the regressors are exogenous in the sense that they are uncorrelated with the model error term. In practice, however, this assumption can be invalid. In this article, using the exponentially tilted empirical likelihood (ETEL) framework, we develop a Bayes factor test for endogeneity that compares a base model that is correctly specified under exogeneity but misspecified under endogeneity…

基于偏 Gini 协方差的重尾误差高维线性模型稳健推断AI 解读

This paper introduces a novel robust high-dimensional inference framework based on partial Gini covariance. We specifically address the practically important problem of quantifying how changes in features affect the conditional mean in high-dimensional linear regression when the random noises are heavy-tailed and possibly asymmetric. Conventional high-dimensional regression inference methods suffer from inaccurate type I errors and reduced power in heavy-tailed contexts.…

跨疾病临床治疗指标的关联：基于 SEER-Medicare 的深度神经网络分析AI 解读

In outcomes research, clinical treatment measures are routinely analyzed. Most existing studies focus on individual diseases, and increasing recent evidence suggests that clinical treatment measures of different diseases can be “correlated” (or interconnected). Existing studies on such interconnections are usually limited to a small number of diseases. In this study, for U.S. older patients with common cancers, we complement the existing literature and conduct a pan-disease…
