Serial-Dependence and Persistence Robust Inference in Predictive Regressions
This paper introduces a new method for testing the statistical significance of estimated parameters in predictive regressions. The approach features a new family of test statistics that are robust to the degree of persistence of the predictors. Importantly, the method accounts for serial correlation and conditional heteroskedasticity without requiring any corrections or adjustments. This is achieved through a mechanism embedded within the test statistics that effectively decouples serial dependence present in the data. The limiting null distributions of these test statistics are shown to follow a chi-square distribution, and their asymptotic power under local alternatives is derived. A comprehensive set of simulation experiments illustrates their finite sample size and power properties.

Pair copula constructions of point-optimal sign-based tests for predictive linear and nonlinear regressions
We propose pair copula constructed point-optimal sign tests in the context of linear and nonlinear predictive regressions with endogenous, persistent regressors, and disturbances exhibiting serial (nonlinear) dependence.…
validNickell Meets Stambaugh: A Tale of Two Biases in Panel Predictive Regressions
In panel predictive regressions with persistent covariates, coexistence of the Nickell bias and the Stambaugh bias imposes challenges for hypothesis testing. This paper introduces a new estimator, the IVX-X-Jackknife (IV…

Applied macroeconomists often compute confidence intervals for impulse responses using local projections, i.e., direct linear regressions of future outcomes on current covariates. This paper proves that local projection …

This study considers tests for coefficient randomness in predictive regressions. Our focus is on how tests for coefficient randomness are influenced by the persistence of random coefficient. We show that when the random …
