The Value Premium 价值溢价
Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3525096
E. Fama, K. French
Value premiums, which we define as value portfolio returns in excess of market portfolio returns, are on average much lower in the second half of the July 1963–June 2019 period. But the high volatility of monthly premiums prevents us from rejecting the hypothesis that expected premiums are the same in both halves of the sample. Regressions that forecast value premiums with book-to-market ratios in excess of market (BM–BMM) produce more reliable evidence of second-half declines in expected value premiums, but only if we assume the regression coefficients are constant during the sample period.

价值溢价(我们将其定义为价值投资组合回报超过市场投资组合回报)在1963年7月至2019年6月期间的后半段平均要低得多。但是,月保费的高波动性使我们无法拒绝两个样本的预期保费相同的假设。预测账面市值比超过市场(BM-BMM)的价值溢价的回归产生了下半年预期价值溢价下降的更可靠的证据,但前提是我们假设回归系数在样本期间不变。收稿日期:2020年1月21日;编辑决定:2020年7月21日;编辑:Jeffrey Pontiff。

Smoothness-Adaptive Contextual Bandits 平滑-自适应上下文强盗
Pub Date : 2019-10-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3893198
Y. Gur, Ahmadreza Momeni, Stefan Wager
In nonparametric contextual bandit formulations, a key complexity driver is the smoothness of payoff functions with respect to covariates. In many practical settings, the smoothness of payoffs is unknown, and misspecification of smoothness may severely deteriorate the performance of existing methods. In the paper “Smoothness-Adaptive Contextual Bandits,” Yonatan Gur, Ahmadreza Momeni, and Stefan Wager consider a framework where the smoothness of payoff functions is unknown and study when and how algorithms may adapt to unknown smoothness. First, they establish that designing algorithms that adapt to unknown smoothness is, in general, impossible. However, under a natural self-similarity condition, they establish that adapting to unknown smoothness is possible and devise a general policy for achieving smoothness-adaptive performance. The policy infers the smoothness of payoffs throughout the decision-making process while leveraging the structure of off-the-shelf nonadaptive policies. It matches (up to a logarithmic scale) the performance that is achievable when the smoothness of payoffs is known in advance.
在非参数上下文强盗公式中,一个关键的复杂性驱动因素是支付函数相对于协变量的平滑性。在许多实际设置中,收益的平滑度是未知的,并且对平滑度的错误规范可能会严重降低现有方法的性能。在论文“平滑-自适应上下文强盗”中,Yonatan Gur, Ahmadreza Momeni和Stefan Wager考虑了一个框架,其中支付函数的平滑是未知的,并研究了算法何时以及如何适应未知的平滑。首先,他们确定设计适应未知平滑度的算法通常是不可能的。然而,在自然自相似条件下,他们建立了适应未知平滑的可能性,并设计了实现平滑自适应性能的一般策略。在利用现成的非适应性政策结构的同时,该政策推断出整个决策过程中收益的平滑性。当提前知道收益的平滑度时,它匹配(达到对数尺度)可以实现的性能。

Theory Ordinals Can Replace ZFC in Computer Science 理论序数在计算机科学中可以取代ZFC
Pub Date : 2019-09-21 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3457802
C. Hewitt
The theory Ordinals can serve as a replacement for the theory ZFC because: • Ordinals are a very well understood mathematical structure. • There is only one model of Ordinals up to a unique isomorphism, which decides every proposition of the theory Ordinals in the model. • Ordinals is much more powerful than ZFC. Standard mathematics that has been carried out in ZFC can more easily be done in Ordinals. Axioms of ZFC are in effect theorems of Ordinals. Cardinals of ZFC are among the ordinals of the theory Ordinals. • The theory Ordinals is algorithmically inexhaustible, i.e., it is impossible to computationally enumerate theorems of the theory thereby reinforcing the intuition behind [Franzen, 2004]. Contrary to [Church 1934], the conclusion in this article is to abandon the assumption that theorems of a theory must be computationally enumerable while retaining the requirement that proof checking must be computationally decidable. • There are no “monsters” [Lakatos 1976] in models of Ordinals such as the ones in models of 1st-order ZFC. Consequently unlike ZFC, the theory Ordinals is not subject to cyberattacks using “monsters” in models such as the ones that plague 1st-order ZFC. The theory Ordinals is based on intensional types as opposed to extensional sets of ZFC. Using intensional types together with strongly-typed ordinal induction is key to proving that there is just one model of the theory Ordinals up to a unique isomorphism.
序数理论可以作为ZFC理论的替代品,因为:•序数是一种非常容易理解的数学结构。•序数只有一个模型,直到一个唯一同构,它决定了模型中理论序数的每一个命题。•序数比ZFC更强大。在ZFC中执行的标准数学可以更容易地在序数中完成。ZFC公理实际上是序数定理。ZFC的基数属于理论序数的序数。•序数理论在算法上是无穷无尽的,也就是说,不可能通过计算枚举理论的定理,从而加强背后的直觉[Franzen, 2004]。与[Church 1934]相反,本文的结论是放弃理论定理必须在计算上可枚举的假设,同时保留证明检查必须在计算上可决定的要求。•在序数模型中没有“怪物”[Lakatos 1976],例如在一阶ZFC模型中。因此,与ZFC不同,理论序数不受网络攻击的影响,在模型中使用“怪物”,比如困扰一阶ZFC的模型。序数理论是基于与ZFC的外延集合相反的内延类型。利用内化类型和强类型序数归纳法是证明序数理论只有一个模型的唯一同构的关键。

Bayesian Inference for Markov-switching Skewed Autoregressive Models 马尔可夫切换偏态自回归模型的贝叶斯推断
Pub Date : 2019-08-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3442765
Stéphane Lhuissier
We examine Markov-switching autoregressive models where the commonly used Gaussian assumption for disturbances is replaced with a skew-normal distribution. This allows us to detect regime changes not only in the mean and the variance of a specified time series, but also in its skewness. A Bayesian framework is developed based on Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. Our informative prior distributions lead to closed-form full conditional posterior distributions, whose sampling can be efficiently conducted within a Gibbs sampling scheme. The usefulness of the methodology is illustrated with a real-data example from U.S. stock markets.
我们研究了马尔可夫切换自回归模型,其中常用的高斯假设干扰被斜正态分布取代。这使我们不仅可以检测特定时间序列的均值和方差,还可以检测其偏度的变化。提出了一种基于马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗采样的贝叶斯框架。我们的信息先验分布导致封闭形式的完全条件后验分布,其抽样可以有效地在吉布斯抽样方案中进行。美国股市的一个真实数据例子说明了这种方法的实用性。

Normal Approximation in Large Network Models 大型网络模型中的正态逼近
Pub Date : 2019-04-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3377709
Michael P. Leung, H. Moon
We develop a methodology for proving central limit theorems in network models with strategic interactions and homophilous agents. We consider an asymptotic framework in which the size of the network tends to infinity, which is useful for inference in the typical setting in which the sample consists of a single large network. In the presence of strategic interactions, network moments are generally complex functions of network components, where a node's component consists of all alters to which it is directly or indirectly connected. We find that a modification of "exponential stabilization" conditions from the stochastic geometry literature provides a useful formulation of weak dependence for moments of this type. Our first contribution is to prove a CLT for a large class of network moments satisfying stabilization and a moment condition. Our second contribution is a methodology for deriving primitive sufficient conditions for stabilization using results in branching process theory. We apply the methodology to static and dynamic models of network formation and discuss how it can be used more broadly.
我们开发了一种方法来证明具有战略相互作用和同质代理的网络模型中的中心极限定理。我们考虑了一个网络的大小趋于无穷大的渐近框架,这对于样本由单个大网络组成的典型设置中的推理是有用的。在存在战略交互的情况下,网络时刻通常是网络组件的复杂函数,其中节点的组件由其直接或间接连接的所有更改组成。我们发现从随机几何文献中对“指数稳定”条件的修正提供了这种类型矩的弱依赖的有用公式。我们的第一个贡献是证明了一大类网络矩满足稳定和矩条件的CLT。我们的第二个贡献是利用分支过程理论的结果推导稳定的原始充分条件的方法。我们将该方法应用于网络形成的静态和动态模型,并讨论了如何更广泛地使用它。

Pearson’s chi-square test is widely employed in social and health sciences to analyse categorical data and contingency tables. For the test to be valid, the sample size must be large enough to provide a minimum number of expected elements per category. This paper develops functions for regrouping strata automatically, thus enabling the goodness-of-fit test to be performed within an iterative procedure. The usefulness and performance of these functions is illustrated by means of a simulation study and the application to different datasets. Finally, the iterative use of the functions is applied to the Continuous Sample of Working Lives, a dataset that has been used in a considerable number of studies, especially on labour economics and the Spanish public pension system.

The Uniform Validity of Impulse Response Inference in Autoregressions 自回归中脉冲响应推理的一致有效性
Pub Date : 2019-01-27 DOI: 10.24149/wp1908
A. Inoue, L. Kilian
Existing proofs of the asymptotic validity of conventional methods of impulse response inference based on higher-order autoregressions are pointwise only. In this paper, we establish the uniform asymptotic validity of conventional asymptotic and bootstrap inference about individual impulse responses and vectors of impulse responses when the horizon is fixed with respect to the sample size. For inference about vectors of impulse responses based on Wald test statistics to be uniformly valid, lag-augmented autoregressions are required, whereas inference about individual impulse responses is uniformly valid under weak conditions even without lag augmentation. We introduce a new rank condition that ensures the uniform validity of inference on impulse responses and show that this condition holds under weak conditions. Simulations show that the highest finite-sample accuracy is achieved when bootstrapping the lag-augmented autoregression using the bias adjustments of Kilian (1999). The conventional bootstrap percentile interval for impulse responses based on this approach remains accurate even at long horizons. We provide a formal asymptotic justification for this result.
现有的基于高阶自回归的传统脉冲响应推理方法的渐近有效性证明仅是点态的。本文建立了当视界相对于样本量固定时,关于单个脉冲响应和脉冲响应向量的常规渐近和自举推理的一致渐近有效性。为了使基于Wald检验统计量的脉冲响应向量的推断一致有效,需要滞后增广的自回归,而在弱条件下,即使没有滞后增广,关于单个脉冲响应的推断也是一致有效的。我们引入了一个新的秩条件来保证脉冲响应推理的一致有效性,并证明了这个条件在弱条件下成立。模拟表明,当使用Kilian(1999)的偏差调整自启动滞后增强自回归时,达到了最高的有限样本精度。基于这种方法的脉冲响应的传统自举百分位数间隔即使在很长的视界上也是准确的。我们为这个结果提供了一个正式的渐近证明。

Fast, "Robust", and Approximately Correct: Estimating Mixed Demand Systems 快速、“稳健”和近似正确:估计混合需求系统
Pub Date : 2018-10-01 DOI: 10.1920/WP.CEM.2018.6418
B. Salanié, F. Wolak
Many econometric models used in applied work integrate over unobserved heterogeneity. We show that a class of these models that includes many random coefficients demand systems can be approximated by a "small-sigma" expansion that yields a straightforward 2SLS estimator. We study in detail the models of market shares popular in empirical IO ("macro BLP"). Our estimator is only approximately correct, but it performs very well in practice. It is extremely fast and easy to implement, and it accommodates to misspecifications in the higher moments of the distribution of the random coefficients. At the very least, it provides excellent starting values for more commonly used estimators of these models.
在实际工作中使用的许多计量经济模型都包含了未观察到的异质性。我们证明了一类包含许多随机系数需求系统的模型可以通过“小西格玛”展开来近似,从而产生一个直接的2SLS估计量。我们详细研究了实证IO中流行的市场份额模型(“宏观BLP”)。我们的估计只是近似正确的,但在实践中表现得很好。它是非常快速和容易实现的,并且它适应在随机系数分布的高矩处的错误规范。至少,它为这些模型的更常用的估计器提供了很好的起始值。

The Bigger Picture: Combining Econometrics with Analytics Improve Forecasts of Movie Success 更大的图景:结合计量经济学和分析提高电影成功的预测

There exists significant hype regarding how much machine learning and incorporating social media data can improve forecast accuracy in commercial applications. To assess if the hype is warranted, we use data from the film industry in simulation experiments that contrast econometric approaches with tools from the predictive analytics literature. Further, we propose new strategies that combine elements from each literature in a bid to capture richer patterns of heterogeneity in the underlying relationship governing revenue. Our results demonstrate the importance of social media data and value from hybrid strategies that combine econometrics and machine learning when conducting forecasts with new big data sources. Specifically, while both least squares support vector regression and recursive partitioning strategies greatly outperform dimension reduction strategies and traditional econometrics approaches in fore-cast accuracy, there are further significant gains from using hybrid approaches. Further, Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate that these benefits arise from the significant heterogeneity in how social media measures and other film characteristics influence box office outcomes.
关于机器学习和整合社交媒体数据可以在多大程度上提高商业应用中的预测准确性,存在着大量的炒作。为了评估这种炒作是否有根据,我们在模拟实验中使用了来自电影行业的数据,将计量经济学方法与预测分析文献中的工具进行了对比。此外,我们提出了新的策略,将每个文献中的元素结合起来,以在控制收入的潜在关系中捕捉更丰富的异质性模式。我们的研究结果证明了社交媒体数据的重要性,以及结合计量经济学和机器学习的混合策略在利用新的大数据源进行预测时的价值。具体来说,虽然最小二乘支持向量回归和递归划分策略在预测精度上都大大优于降维策略和传统计量经济学方法,但使用混合方法可以进一步显著提高预测精度。此外,蒙特卡罗实验表明,这些好处来自于社交媒体措施和其他电影特征对票房结果的显著异质性。

Further, Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate that these benefits arise from the significant heterogeneity in how social media measures and other film characteristics influence box office outcomes.","PeriodicalId":320844,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Econometrics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130814361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adding multivariate stochastic volatility of a ?exible form to large Vector Autoregressions (VARs) involving over a hundred variables has proved challenging due to computational considerations and over-parameterization concerns. The existing literature either works with homoskedastic models or smaller models with restrictive forms for the stochastic volatility. In this pa- per, we develop composite likelihood methods for large VARs with multivariate stochastic volatility. These involve estimating large numbers of parsimonious models and then taking a weighted average across these models. We discuss various schemes for choosing the weights. In our empirical work involving VARs of up to 196 variables, we show that composite likelihood methods have similar properties to existing alternatives used with small data sets in that they estimate the multivariate stochastic volatility in a ?exible and realistic manner and they forecast comparably. In very high dimensional VARs, they are computationally feasible where other approaches involving stochastic volatility are not and produce superior forecasts than natural conjugate prior homoskedastic VARs.
由于计算考虑和过度参数化问题,在涉及100多个变量的大型向量自回归(var)中添加灵活形式的多变量随机波动是具有挑战性的。对于随机波动,现有的文献要么使用同方差模型,要么使用约束形式的较小模型。在这篇论文中,我们发展了多元随机波动的大var的复合似然方法。这包括估计大量的简约模型,然后对这些模型进行加权平均。我们讨论了选择权重的各种方案。在我们涉及多达196个变量的var的实证工作中,我们表明复合似然方法与使用小数据集的现有替代方法具有相似的特性,因为它们以灵活和现实的方式估计多变量随机波动,并且它们预测比较。在非常高维的var中,它们在计算上是可行的,而其他涉及随机波动的方法则不可行,并且比自然共轭先验均方差var产生更好的预测。
