Lecture 7a: Vector Autoregression (VAR)

The goal of structural VAR analysis is to obtain B, which is not unique (for a bivariate system Ω has 3 unique elements, while B has 4 elements to be determined). 3. The Sims (1980) structural VAR imposes the restriction that B ... Instead, we simulate the impulse response for VAR(p) 28.

Lecture: IV and 2SLS Estimators (Wooldridge’s book chapter 15)

It is straightforward to account for heteroskedasticity. The robust variance-covariance matrix for bˆ 2SLS allowing for heteroskedasticity is robust var-cov(bˆ 2SLS)= X 0PX 1 X PWPX X PX 1 where W = E(UU0): To estimate the meat in the middle of that sandwich, using X0PWbPX = Xb0WbXb= n å i=1 uˆ2 i bx ibx 0 i where ˆu denotes the 2SLS ...

Lecture 5a: ARCH Models - Miami University

Consider the first order autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) process rt = σtet (5) et ∼ white noise(0, 1) (6) σt = √ ω + α1r2 t 1 (7) where rt is the return, and is assumed here to be an ARCH(1) process. et is a white noise with zero mean and variance of one. et may or may not follow normal distribution. 7

Independent Variables • Suppose there are k independent variables and a constant term. In the spreadsheet there are k +1 columns and n rows. • Mathematically that spreadsheet corresponds to an n × (k +1) matrix, denoted by X : X = 1 x11::: x1k 1 x21::: x2k 1 xn1::: xnk where xij is the i-th observation of the j-th independent variable. 4

Since the standard deviations are unknown, we use the estimated covariance matrix calculated using the standard errors. In the Results options for Regression, check

What are the consequences of this correlation between x and u? Now higher levels of x have two effects on y. From (4.43) there is both a direct effect via x and an indirect effect via u effecting x which in turn effects y. The goal of regression is to estimate only the rst effect, yielding an estimate of .

1 Correlation and Regression Basic terms and concepts 1. A scatter plot is a graphical representation of the relation between two or more variables. In the scatter plot of two variables x and y, each point on the plot is an x-y pair. 2. We use regression and correlation to describe the variation in one or more variables. A. The variation is the sum

Correlation in Random Variables

Correlation Coefficient The covariance can be normalized to produce what is known as the correlation coefficient, ρ. ρ = cov(X,Y) var(X)var(Y) The correlation coefficient is bounded by −1 ≤ ρ ≤ 1. It will have value ρ = 0 when the covariance is zero and value ρ = ±1 when X and Y are perfectly correlated or anti-correlated. Lecture 11 4

Multivariate Regression (Chapter 10)

Multivariate regression As in the univariate, multiple regression case, you can whether subsets of the x variables have coe cients of 0. In this case, there is a matrix in the null hypothesis, H 0: B d = 0. The E and H matrices are given by E = Y0Y Bb0X0Y H = bB0X0Y Bb0 rX 0 rY And the test statistics are given as before.

A Simple Explanation of Partial Least Squares

Fact 12. One way to compute the principal components of a matrix X is to perform singular value decomposition, which gives X = UP T; where U is an n nmatrix made up of the eigenvectors of XXT, P is an m mmatrix made up of the eigenvectors of XTX (i.e., the principal components), and is an n mdiagonal matrix made up of the square roots of the non-zero eigenvalues of both XTX and XXT.
