Testing for Stationary or Persistent Coefficient Randomness in Predictive Regressions
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 coefficient is stationary, or I(0), Nyblom's (1989) LM test loses its optimality (in terms of power), which is established against the alternative of integrated, or I(1), random coefficient. We demonstrate this by constructing a test that is more powerful than the LM test when the random coefficient is stationary, although the test is dominated in terms of power by the LM test when the random coefficient is integrated. The power comparison is made under the sequence of local alternatives that approaches the null hypothesis at different rates depending on the persistence of the random coefficient and which test is considered. We revisit an earlier empirical research and apply the tests considered in this study to the U.S. stock returns data. The result mostly reverses the earlier finding.

A Novel Approach to Predictive Accuracy Testing in Nested Environments
We introduce a new approach for comparing the predictive accuracy of two nested models that bypasses the difficulties caused by the degeneracy of the asymptotic variance of forecast error loss differentials used in the c…
validTesting for Coefficient Randomness in Local-to-Unity Autoregressions
In this study, we propose a test for the coefficient randomness in autoregressive models where the autoregressive coefficient is local to unity, which is empirically relevant given the results of earlier studies. Under t…

LASSO introduces shrinkage bias into estimated coefficients, which can adversely affect the desirable asymptotic normality and invalidate the standard inferential procedure based on the $t$-statistic. The desparsified LA…

Existing constant-step analysis of stochastic \Scaf{} identifies a leading $O(γ/N)$ stationary mean bias and shows that higher-order bias can persist as the client count increases, but does not identify the first client-…
