Regressions with Asymptotically Collinear Regressors
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the OLS estimator for regressions with two slowly varying regressors. It is shown that the possibilities include a definite case, when the third-order regular variation is sufficient to determine the asymptotic distribution, and an indefinite case, when higher-order regular variation is required to find the distribution. In the definite case the asymptotic distribution is normal one-dimensional and may belong to one of six types depending on the relative rates of growth of the regressors. The dependence of the asymptotic variance on the parameters of the model is discontinuous. The analysis establishes, in particular, a new link between slow variation and Lp-approximability. JEL classification: C13

On Asymptotic Normality When the Number of Regressors Increases and the Minimum Eigenvalue of X 0 X=n Decreases 1
Conditions under which a regression estimate based on p regressors is asymptotically normally distributed when the minimum eigenvalue of X 0X=n decreases with p are obtained. The results are relevant to the regressions on truncated series expansions that arise in neural networks, demand analysis, and asset pricing applications. 0
متن کاملNonlinear econometric models with cointegrated and deterministically trending regressors
This paper develops an asymptotic theory for a general class of nonlinear nonstationary regressions, extending earlier work by Phillips and Hansen (1990) on linear cointegrating regressions.The model considered accommodates a linear time trend and stationary regressors, as well as multiple I(1) regressors. We establish consistency and derive the limit distribution of the nonlinear least squares...
متن کاملCointegrating Regressions with Messy Regressors: Missingness, Mixed Frequency, and Measurement Error
We consider a cointegrating regression in which the integrated regressors are messy in the sense that they contain data that may be mismeasured, missing, observed at mixed frequencies, or have other irregularities that cause the econometrician to observe them with mildly nonstationary noise. Least squares estimation of the cointegrating vector is consistent. Existing prototypical variancebased ...
متن کاملBootstrapping Cointegrating Regressions1
In this paper, we consider bootstrapping cointegrating regressions. It is shown that the method of bootstrap, if properly implemented, generally yields consistent estimators and test statistics for cointegrating regressions. We do not assume any speci ̄c data generating process, and employ the sieve bootstrap based on the approximated ̄nite-order vector autoregressions for the regression errors ...
متن کاملREGRESSIONS WITH TWO SLOWLY VARYING REGRESSORS 1 Regressions with Two Slowly Varying Regressors: Hidden Discontinuities in Asymptotic Behavior
Asymptotic behavior of the OLS estimator for regressions with two slowly varying regressors is studied. It is shown that the asymptotic distribution may belong to one of four types depending on the relative rates of growth of the regressors. The paper expands and corrects recent results by P.C.B.Phillips (2007).
