Dynamic Misspecification In Nonparametric Cointegrating Regression, Ioannis Kasparis, Peter C.B. Phillips Jun 2009

Dynamic Misspecification In Nonparametric Cointegrating Regression, Ioannis Kasparis, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Linear cointegration is known to have the important property of invariance under temporal translation. The same property is shown not to apply for nonlinear cointegration. The requisite limit theory involves sample covariances of integrable transformations of non-stationary sequences and time translated sequences, allowing for the presence of a bandwidth parameter so as to accommodate kernel regression. The theory is an extension of Wang and Phillips (2008) and is useful for the analysis of nonparametric regression models with a misspecified lag structure and in situations where temporal aggregation issues arise. The limit properties of the Nadaraya-Watson (NW) estimator for cointegrating regression …


Asymptotic Theory For Zero Energy Density Estimation With Nonparametric Regression Applications, Qiying Wang, Peter C.B. Phillips Jan 2009

Asymptotic Theory For Zero Energy Density Estimation With Nonparametric Regression Applications, Qiying Wang, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

A local limit theorem is given for the sample mean of a zero energy function of a nonstationary time series involving twin numerical sequences that pass to infinity. The result is applicable in certain nonparametric kernel density estimation and regression problems where the relevant quantities are functions of both sample size and bandwidth. An interesting outcome of the theory in nonparametric regression is that the linear term is eliminated from the asymptotic bias. In consequence and in contrast to the stationary case, the Nadaraya-Watson estimator has the same limit distribution (to the second order including bias) as the local linear …
