贵州经济增长与外国直接投资相关性的实证分析

通过运用协整技术和误差修正模型对贵州省1985～2003年期间的数据进行分析可知,贵州省经济增长与外国直接投资之间存在长期的动态均衡关系.从长期来看,外商对贵州的直接投资直接促进了贵州省经济的增长,经济增长与外国直接投资呈正向变动.但是这种促进作用还比较有限,而且对外国直接投资的影响作用不明显.

协整向量误设对相关检验的影响

常用于检验既定协整关系的统计量有tDF和tECM两种，但由于真实数据生成过程未知，估计模型中可能存在一定程度的协整向量误设，从而使统计量的分布特征受到影响。本文首先探讨tDF检验的隐含系数约束α=γ，即短期弹性等于先验长期弹性；其次分析零假设下两种统计量的分布特征，以及先验设定γ对信号噪声比q进而对tECM分布特征的影响；最后在局部备择假设下，给出两种统计量的渐近分布，并表明向量误设会降低协整检验的势，其程度与设定误差d正相关。     

Testing for unit roots in time series models with non-stationary volatility

Many of the key macro-economic and financial variables in developed economies are characterized by permanent volatility shifts. It is known that conventional unit root tests are potentially unreliable in the presence of such behaviour, depending on a particular function (the variance profile) of the underlying volatility process. Somewhat surprisingly then, very little work has been undertaken to develop unit root tests which are robust to the presence of permanent volatility shifts. In this paper we fill this gap in the literature by proposing tests which are valid in the presence of a quite general class of permanent variance changes which includes single and multiple (abrupt and smooth-transition) volatility change processes as special cases. Our solution uses numerical methods to simulate the asymptotic null distribution of the statistics based on a consistent estimate of the variance profile which we also develop. The practitioner is not required to specify a parametric model for volatility. An empirical illustration using producer price inflation series from the Stock–Watson database is reported.     

Two-sample rank tests with truncated populations

LetX ₁,…,X _m andY ₁,…,Y _n be two independent samples from continuous distributionsF andG respectively. Using a Hoeffding (1951) type theorem, we obtain the distributions of the vector S=(S ₍₁₎,…,S _(n)), whereS _(j)=# (X _i ’s≤Y _(j)) andY _(j) is thej-th order statistic ofY sample, under three truncation models: (a)G is a left truncation ofF orG is a right truncation ofF, (b)F is a right truncation ofH andG is a left truncation ofH, whereH is some continuous distribution function, (c)G is a two tail truncation ofF. Exploiting the relation between S and the vectorR of the ranks of the order statistics of theY-sample in the pooled sample, we can obtain exact distributions of many rank tests. We use these to compare powers of the Hajek test (Hajek 1967), the Sidak Vondracek test (1957) and the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test. We derive some order relations between the values of the probagility-functions under each model. Hence find that the tests based onS ₍₁₎ andS _(n) are the UMP rank tests for the alternative (a). We also find LMP rank tests under the alternatives (b) and (c).     

Three Corrected Score Tests for Generalized Linear Models with Dispersion Covariates

We develop three corrected score tests for generalized linear models with dispersion covariates, thus generalizing the results of Cordeiro , Ferrari and Paula (1993) and Cribari-Neto and Ferrari (1995) . We present, in matrix notation, general formulae for the coefficients which define the corrected statistics. The formulae only require simple operations on matrices and can be used to obtain analytically closed-form corrections for score test statistics in a variety of special generalized linear models with dispersion covariates. They also have advantages for numerical purposes since our formulae are readily computable using a language supporting numerical linear algebra. Two examples, namely, iid sampling without covariates on the mean or dispersion parameter oand one-way classification models, are given. We also present some simulations where the three corrected tests perform better than the usual score test, the likelihood ratio test and its Bartlett corrected version. Finally, we present a numerical example for a data set discussed by Simonoff and Tsai (1994) .     

外生冲击与房地产真实价格波动--对1998～2003年中国31省(市、区)的实证研究

文章首先根据经济学模型界定了两个重要指标:自相关系数与收敛系数.认为不同的外生冲击对这两个系数有不同的影响,而它们决定了房地产真实价格波动形态的差异.在此基础上,文章利用1998～2003年中国31个省(市、区)的面板数据对中国房地产市场进行了实证研究,其结论是,在真实人均可支配收入和真实建筑成本较高、真实税后住宅抵押贷款利率较低的地区有较大的自相关系数和较小的收敛系数,从而房地产真实价格具有更大的波动性.为使房地产真实价格在均衡价格附近平稳运行,降低开发成本和提高消费者购买成本能收到较好的效果.
