This paper proposes a vector error correction framework for constructing large consistent spillover networks of nonstationary systems grounded in the network theory of Diebold and Yılmaz (2014). We aim to provide a tailored methodology for the large non-stationary (macro)economic and financial system application settings avoiding technical and often hard to verify assumptions for general statistical highdimensional approaches where the dimension can also increase with sample size. To achieve this, we propose an elementwise Lasso-type technique for consistent and numerically efficient model selection of VECM, and relate the resulting forecast error variance decomposition to the network topology representation. We also derive the corresponding asymptotic results for model selection and network estimation under standard assumptions. Moreover, we develop a refinement strategy for efficient estimation and show implications and modifications for general dependent innovations. In a comprehensive simulation study, we show convincing finite sample performance of our technique in all cases of moderate and low dimensions. In an application to a system of FX rates, the proposed method leads to novel insights on the connectedness and spillover effects in the FX market among the OECD countries.

This paper proposes different methods to consistently detect multiple breaks in copula-based dependence measures, mainly focusing on Spearman's $rho$. The leading model is a factor copula model due to its usefulness for analyzing data in high dimensions. Starting with the classical binary segmentation, also the more recent wild binary segmentation (WBS) and a procedure based on an information criterion are considered. For all procedures, consistency of the estimators for the location of the breakpoints as well as the number of breaks is proved. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that WBS performs best in many, but not in all, situations. A real data application on recent Euro Stoxx 50 data reveals the usefulness of the procedures.

For estimating the large covariance matrix with a limited sample size, we propose the covariance model with general linear structure (CMGL) by employing the general link function to connect the covariance of the continuous response vector to a linear combination of weight matrices. Without assuming the distribution of responses, and allowing the number of parameters associated with weight matrices to diverge, we obtain the quasi-maximum likelihood estimators (QMLE) of parameters and show their asymptotic properties. In addition, an extended Bayesian information criteria (EBIC) is proposed to select relevant weight matrices, and the consistency of EBIC is demonstrated. Under the identity link function, we introduce the ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) that has the closed form. Hence, its computational burden is reduced compared to QMLE, and the theoretical properties of OLS are also investigated. To assess the adequacy of the link function, we further propose the quasi-likelihood ratio test and obtain its limiting distribution. Simulation studies are presented to assess the performance of the proposed methods, and the usefulness of generalized covariance models is illustrated by an analysis of the US stock market.

We propose a general framework to construct self-normalized multiple-change-point tests with time series data. The only building block is a user-specified one-change-point detecting statistic, which covers a wide class of popular methods, including cumulative sum process, outlier-robust rank statistics and order statistics. Neither robust and consistent estimation of nuisance parameters, selection of bandwidth parameters, nor pre-specification of the number of change points is required. The finite-sample performance shows that our proposal is size-accurate, robust against misspecification of the alternative hypothesis, and more powerful than existing methods. Case studies of NASDAQ option volume and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect turnover are provided.

High-dimensional regression and regression with a left-censored response are each well-studied topics. In spite of this, few methods have been proposed which deal with both of these complications simultaneously. The Tobit model -- long the standard method for censored regression in economics -- has not been adapted for high-dimensional regression at all. To fill this gap and bring up-to-date techniques from high-dimensional statistics to the field of high-dimensional left-censored regression, we propose several penalized Tobit models. We develop a fast algorithm which combines quadratic minimization with coordinate descent to compute the penalized Tobit solution path. Theoretically, we analyze the Tobit lasso and Tobit with a folded concave penalty, bounding the $ell_2$ estimation loss for the former and proving that a local linear approximation estimator for the latter possesses the strong oracle property. Through an extensive simulation study, we find that our penalized Tobit models provide more accurate predictions and parameter estimates than other methods. We use a penalized Tobit model to analyze high-dimensional left-censored HIV viral load data from the AIDS Clinical Trials Group and identify potential drug resistance mutations in the HIV genome. Appendices contain intermediate theoretical results and technical proofs.

This paper considers identification and estimation of the causal effect of the time Z until a subject is treated on a survival outcome T. The treatment is not randomly assigned, T is randomly right censored by a random variable C and the time to treatment Z is right censored by min(T,C). The endogeneity issue is treated using an instrumental variable explaining Z and independent of the error term of the model. We study identification in a fully nonparametric framework. We show that our specification generates an integral equation, of which the regression function of interest is a solution. We provide identification conditions that rely on this identification equation. For estimation purposes, we assume that the regression function follows a parametric model. We propose an estimation procedure and give conditions under which the estimator is asymptotically normal. The estimators exhibit good finite sample properties in simulations. Our methodology is applied to find evidence supporting the efficacy of a therapy for burn-out.

We study a continuous treatment effect model in the presence of treatment spillovers through social networks. We assume that one's outcome is affected not only by his/her own treatment but also by a (weighted) average of his/her neighbors' treatments, both of which are treated as endogenous variables. Using a control function approach with appropriate instrumental variables, we show that the conditional mean potential outcome can be nonparametrically identified. We also consider a more empirically tractable semiparametric model and develop a three-step estimation procedure for this model. As an empirical illustration, we investigate the causal effect of the regional unemployment rate on the crime rate.

In this article, we study large-dimensional matrix factor models and estimate the factor loading matrices and factor score matrix by minimizing square loss function. Interestingly, the resultant estimators coincide with the Projected Estimators (PE) in Yu et al.(2022), which was proposed from the perspective of simultaneous reduction of the dimensionality and the magnitudes of the idiosyncratic error matrix. In other word, we provide a least-square interpretation of the PE for matrix factor model, which parallels to the least-square interpretation of the PCA for the vector factor model. We derive the convergence rates of the theoretical minimizers under sub-Gaussian tails. Considering the robustness to the heavy tails of the idiosyncratic errors, we extend the least squares to minimizing the Huber loss function, which leads to a weighted iterative projection approach to compute and learn the parameters. We also derive the convergence rates of the theoretical minimizers of the Huber loss function under bounded $(2+epsilon)$th moment of the idiosyncratic errors. We conduct extensive numerical studies to investigate the empirical performance of the proposed Huber estimators relative to the state-of-the-art ones. The Huber estimators perform robustly and much better than existing ones when the data are heavy-tailed, and as a result can be used as a safe replacement in practice. An application to a Fama-French financial portfolio dataset demonstrates the empirical advantage of the Huber estimator.

In randomized experiments, the actual treatments received by some experimental units may differ from their treatment assignments. This non-compliance issue often occurs in clinical trials, social experiments, and the applications of randomized experiments in many other fields. Under certain assumptions, the average treatment effect for the compliers is identifiable and equal to the ratio of the intention-to-treat effects of the potential outcomes to that of the potential treatment received. To improve the estimation efficiency, we propose three model-assisted estimators for the complier average treatment effect in randomized experiments with a binary outcome. We study their asymptotic properties, compare their efficiencies with that of the Wald estimator, and propose the Neyman-type conservative variance estimators to facilitate valid inferences. Moreover, we extend our methods and theory to estimate the multiplicative complier average treatment effect. Our analysis is randomization-based, allowing the working models to be misspecified. Finally, we conduct simulation studies to illustrate the advantages of the model-assisted methods and apply these analysis methods in a randomized experiment to evaluate the effect of academic services or incentives on academic performance.
