This paper develops a new econometric tool for evolutionary autoregressive models where the AR coefficients change smoothly over time. To estimate the unknown functional form of time-varying coefficients, we propose a mdified local linear smoother. The asymptotic normality and variance of the new estimator are derived by extending Phillips and Solo device to the case of evolutionary linear processes. As an application for statistical inference, we show how Wald tests for stationarity and misspecification could be formulated based on finite-dimensional distributions of the kernel estimates. We also examine the finite sample performance of the method via numerical simulations. As an empirical illustration, the method is applied to the real data of US stock returns.
本文为AR系数随时间平滑变化的进化自回归模型开发了一种新的计量工具。为了估计时变系数的未知函数形式,我们提出了一种改进的局部线性光滑器。将Phillips和Solo装置推广到演化线性过程,得到了新估计量的渐近正态性和方差。作为统计推断的一个应用,我们展示了如何基于核估计的有限维分布来制定平稳性和错误规范的Wald检验。我们还通过数值模拟检验了该方法的有限样本性能。作为实证说明,将该方法应用于美国股票收益的真实数据。

Leo Breiman (Breiman et al., 1984, 1998) was a statistician who was fond of practical applications, and this led him to develop several original studies. Based on the work begun by Friedman (1977), he developed a very accurate classification system, without the need for statistical assumptions, since it is a nonparametric methodology. The aim of this study is to present the work of Breiman known as the Recursive Partitioning Algorithm. The RPA will be introduced as a nonparametric approach to credit analysis, allowing for the incorporation of the costs of misclassifications. Several studies, such as Novak and LaDue (1999) and Marais, Patais and Wolfson (1984), have shown its applicability in the analysis and granting of credit. A long road has been traveled from the early work of Friedman (1977) to the CART model developed by Steinberg and Golovnya (2006). This paper – apart from presenting the fundamentals and possibilities for use of the RPA – seeks to show the effectiveness of the results attained through a comparison with a parametric model, the Discriminant Analysis, considered the most traditional and classical method of analysis. The results show the RPA to be a superior technique, as well as a technique of easy intuition by analysts. The conclusion of the paper confirms that the RPA system – little known and discussed by academics and market professionals – is a powerful classificatory tool, with the advantage of being nonparametric.
Leo Breiman (Breiman et al., 1984,1998)是一位喜欢实际应用的统计学家,这使他开展了几项原创性研究。在Friedman(1977)开始的工作的基础上,他开发了一个非常精确的分类系统,不需要统计假设,因为它是一种非参数方法。本研究的目的是介绍Breiman的工作,即递归划分算法。RPA将作为一种非参数方法引入信用分析,允许纳入错误分类的成本。一些研究,如Novak和LaDue(1999)和Marais, Patais和Wolfson(1984),已经表明了它在分析和授予信用方面的适用性。从Friedman(1977)的早期工作到Steinberg和Golovnya(2006)开发的CART模型,经历了漫长的道路。本文除了介绍RPA的基本原理和使用的可能性外,还试图通过与参数模型(被认为是最传统和最经典的分析方法)判别分析(Discriminant Analysis)进行比较,显示结果的有效性。结果表明,RPA是一种优越的技术,也是分析人员易于直观的技术。本文的结论证实了RPA系统是一种强大的分类工具,具有非参数化的优势,但学术界和市场专业人士对此知之甚少。

Model Specification between Parametric and Nonparametric Cointegration 参数协整与非参数协整之间的模型规范
Pub Date : 2012-09-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2140996

This paper considers a general model specification between a parametric co-integrating model and a nonparametric co-integrating model in a multivariate regression model, which involves a univariate integrated time series regressor and a vector of stationary time series regressors. A new and simple test is proposed and the resulting asymptotic theory is established. The test statistic is constructed based on a natural distance function between a nonparametric estimate and a smoothed parametric counterpart. The asymptotic distribution of the test statistic under the parametric specification is proportional to that of a local-time random variable with a known distribution. In addition, the finite sample performance of the proposed test is evaluated through using both simulated and real data examples.

Beyond Engel’s Law - Pursuing an Engelian Approach to Welfare: A Cross Country Analysis 超越恩格尔定律——追求一种恩格尔式的福利方法:一项跨国分析
Pub Date : 2012-07-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2103066
Wolfhard Kaus
Engel’s law is known to be extraordinarily consistent across time and space. Accordingly, it has been widely used to determine poverty. However, also among the poorest, a certain amount of non food spending is necessary. To substantiate the distinction between necessities and luxuries, already Ernst Engel (1895) approached a behaviorally founded comprehensive assessment of structural changes in consumer expenditures. To build upon Engel’s legacy and to complement the scare empirical literature, a behavioral approach is applied. It is conjectured that differences in satiation patterns of universally shared needs translate, on the aggregate level, into different shapes of Engel curves and thus also into different income elasticities of demand. Utilizing a nonparametric regression technique, it is explored whether and which expenditure categories change systematically with rising income. In line with the theoretical expectations, a number of empirical regularities in consumer expenditure patterns can be identified that go well beyond Engel’s law.
众所周知,恩格尔定律在时间和空间上是非常一致的。因此,它已被广泛用于确定贫困。然而,在最贫穷的人群中,一定数量的非食品支出是必要的。为了证实必需品和奢侈品之间的区别,恩斯特·恩格尔(1895)已经对消费者支出的结构变化进行了基于行为的全面评估。为了建立恩格尔的遗产,并补充恐慌的经验文献,应用了一种行为方法。据推测,在总体水平上,普遍共享需求的满足模式的差异转化为不同形状的恩格尔曲线,从而也转化为不同的需求收入弹性。利用非参数回归技术,探讨了支出类别是否以及哪些支出类别随着收入的增加而系统地变化。与理论预期一致,消费者支出模式的一些经验规律可以被识别出来,远远超出恩格尔定律。

Testing for Nonparametric Identification of Causal Effects in the Presence of a Quasi-Instrument 准仪器存在下因果效应非参数辨识的检验
Pub Date : 2012-07-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2101979

The identification of average causal effects of a treatment in observational studies is typically based either on the unconfoundedness assumption or on the availability of an instrument. When available, instruments may also be used to test for the unconfoundedness assumption (exogeneity of the treatment). In this paper, we define variables which we call quasi-instruments because they allow us to test for the unconfoundedness assumption although they do not necessarily yield nonparametric identification of the average causal effect. A quasi-instrument is defined as an instrument except for that its relation to the treatment is allowed to be confounded by unobservables, thereby resulting in a wider range of potential applications. We propose a test for the unconfoundedness assumption based on a quasi-instrument, and give conditions under which the test has power. We perform a simulation study and apply the results to a case study where the interest lies in evaluating the effect of job practice on employment.
在观察性研究中,确定治疗的平均因果效应通常是基于无混杂假设或基于工具的可用性。如果可用,仪器也可用于检验无混杂假设(治疗的外生性)。在本文中,我们定义了我们称之为准工具的变量,因为它们允许我们测试非混杂假设,尽管它们不一定产生平均因果效应的非参数识别。准仪器被定义为一种仪器,但它与治疗的关系可以被不可观察到的东西所混淆,从而导致更广泛的潜在应用。我们提出了一种基于准仪器的非混杂假设检验方法,并给出了检验方法有效的条件。我们进行了模拟研究,并将结果应用于一个案例研究,其中的兴趣在于评估工作实践对就业的影响。

Testing Parametric Models Using Anchoring Vignettes Against Nonparametric Alternatives 使用锚定小点对非参数选择进行参数模型测试
Pub Date : 2012-02-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2046907
A. van Soest, H. Vonková
Comparing assessments of health, job satisfaction, etc. on a subjective scale across countries or socio-economic groups is often hampered by differences in response scales across groups. Anchoring vignettes help to correct for such differences, either in parametric models (CHOPIT and extensions) or nonparametrically, comparing rankings of vignette ratings and self-assessments across groups. We construct specification tests of parametric models, comparing non-parametric rankings with rankings using the parametric estimates. Applied to six domains of health, the test always rejects standard CHOPIT, but an extended CHOPIT performs better. This implies a need for more flexible (parametric or semi-parametric) models than standard CHOPIT.
在不同国家或社会经济群体之间以主观尺度比较健康、工作满意度等评估,往往因不同群体之间反应尺度的差异而受到阻碍。锚定小插曲有助于纠正这些差异,无论是在参数模型(CHOPIT和扩展)还是非参数模型中,比较小插曲评分和组间自我评估的排名。我们构造参数模型的规格检验,比较非参数排名与使用参数估计的排名。应用于六个健康领域,该测试总是拒绝标准CHOPIT,但扩展的CHOPIT表现更好。这意味着需要比标准CHOPIT更灵活的(参数化或半参数化)模型。

Companies seek distinctive competencies that allow them to be in a better position than its competitors, i.e. they are competitive advantages. Both the territory and the activity of the company may determine its core competences. Both elements are associated with the cluster idea. This paper analyses whether the cluster determines the process of obtaining competitive advantages. We use principal components to determine core competences. After, effects of the cluster on sources of competitive advantages and core competences are tested by parametric and nonparametric methods in small and medium enterprises of Vigo and its Metropolitan area. The results show that there are differences between clusters with regards to sources of competitive advantage. However, these differences do not occur in all factors of competitiveness. These differences are smoothed by building core competencies. Conclusions suggest some politics on clusters.

Efficiency Analysis of Commercial Banks in Pakistan – A Non Parametric Approach 巴基斯坦商业银行效率分析——一个非参数方法
Pub Date : 2011-11-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1960063
Saba Z. Hayat
This study investigates the technical and profit efficiency of commercial banks in Pakistan. Data Envelopment Analysis is used as a preferred methodology to accurately determine profit and technical efficiency. The constant return to scale model is employed and Excel Solver is used to give scores which highlights the efficiency differences across three ownership categories. The study identifies loans and interest income as outputs and deposits and interest expense as the inputs to measure the technical efficiency. It identifies loan loss provision as a factor causing deviation in profit efficiency from the technical efficiency. Our study suggests that the profit efficiency improves over the years and technical efficiency is also rising in 2009. Large banks are relatively more efficient than small banks and private banks have better efficiency scores. The results can be generalized for commercial banks across different ownership structures and size but this generalization doesn’t spread across the Islamic banking sector due to the choice of DMUs which include no Islamic bank. According to the policy maker’s perspective, the study establishes the economic importance of banking industry in the country.
本研究考察了巴基斯坦商业银行的技术效率和利润效率。数据包络分析被用作准确确定利润和技术效率的首选方法。采用比例不变回报模型,并使用Excel求解器给出分数,突出了三种所有权类别之间的效率差异。研究将贷款和利息收入作为产出,存款和利息支出作为投入来衡量技术效率。将贷款损失准备确定为导致利润效率偏离技术效率的因素。我们的研究表明,利润效率逐年提高,技术效率在2009年也在上升。大银行的效率相对高于小银行,私人银行的效率得分更高。结果可以推广到不同所有权结构和规模的商业银行,但由于选择的dmu不包括伊斯兰银行,这种推广并不适用于整个伊斯兰银行业。从政策制定者的角度出发,确立了银行业在我国的经济重要性。

Estimating the Diffusion Coefficient Function for a Diversified World Stock Index 多元世界股票指数的扩散系数函数估计
Pub Date : 2011-09-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2157779
Katja Ignatieva, E. Platen
This paper deals with the estimation of continuous-time diffusion processes which model the dynamics of a well diversified world stock index (WSI). We use the nonparametric kernel-based estimation to empirically identify a square root type diffusion coefficient function in the dynamics of the discounted WSI. A square root process turns out to be an excellent building block for a parsimonious model for the WSI. Its dynamics allow capturing various empirical stylized facts and long term properties of the index, as well as, the explicit computation of various financial quantities.

Connected Substitutes and Invertibility of Demand 互联替代与需求可逆性
Pub Date : 2011-07-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2111382
Steven T. Berry, Amit Gandhi, Philip A. Haile
We consider the invertibility (injectivity) of a nonparametric nonseparable demand system. Invertibility of demand is important in several contexts, including identification of demand, estimation of demand, testing of revealed preference, and economic theory exploiting existence of an inverse demand function or (in an exchange economy) uniqueness of Walrasian equilibrium prices. We introduce the notion of "connected substitutes" and show that this structure is sufficient for invertibility. The connected substitutes conditions require weak substitution between all goods and sufficient strict substitution to necessitate treating them in a single demand system. The connected substitutes conditions have transparent economic interpretation, are easily checked, and are satisfied in many standard models. They need only hold under some transformation of demand and can accommodate many models in which goods are complements. They allow one to show invertibility without strict gross substitutes, functional form restrictions, smoothness assumptions, or strong domain restrictions. When the restriction to weak substitutes is maintained, our sufficient conditions are also "nearly necessary" for even local invertibility.
考虑非参数不可分离需求系统的可逆性(注入性)。需求的可逆性在很多情况下都很重要,包括需求的识别、需求的估计、显性偏好的检验,以及利用逆需求函数存在的经济理论,或者(在交换经济中)瓦尔拉斯均衡价格的唯一性。我们引入了“连通替代”的概念,并证明了这种结构是可逆性的充分条件。关联替代条件要求所有商品之间的弱替代和充分的严格替代,从而有必要在单一需求系统中处理它们。关联替代条件具有透明的经济解释,易于检验,并在许多标准模型中得到满足。它们只需要在需求的某种转变下保持不变,并且可以容纳许多以商品为补充的模式。它们允许人们在没有严格的总替代、功能形式限制、平滑假设或强域限制的情况下显示可逆性。当弱替代约束成立时,我们的充分条件也是偶局部可逆性的“近必要”条件。

Invertibility of demand is important in several contexts, including identification of demand, estimation of demand, testing of revealed preference, and economic theory exploiting existence of an inverse demand function or (in an exchange economy) uniqueness of Walrasian equilibrium prices.
