Factor-Augmented Machine Learning Panel Regressions

Andrii Babii, Luca Barbaglia, Eric Ghysels +1

This paper develops the asymptotic theory for high-dimensional panel data regressions in settings with cross-sectionally dependent errors driven by common shocks. We consider a fac…

Nowcasting and aggregation: Why small Euro area countries matter

Andrii Babii, Luca Barbaglia, Eric Ghysels +1

The paper studies the nowcasting of Euro area Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth using mixed data sampling machine learning panel data regressions with both standard macro release…

High-dimensional censored MIDAS logistic regression for corporate survival forecasting

Wei Miao, Jad Beyhum, Jonas Striaukas +1

This paper addresses the challenge of forecasting corporate distress, a problem marked by three key statistical hurdles: (i) right censoring, (ii) high-dimensional predictors, and…

Panel Data Nowcasting: The Case of Price-Earnings Ratios

Andrii Babii, Ryan T. Ball, Eric Ghysels +1

The paper uses structured machine learning regressions for nowcasting with panel data consisting of series sampled at different frequencies. Motivated by the problem of predicting…

Testing for sparse idiosyncratic components in factor-augmented regression models

Jad Beyhum, Jonas Striaukas

We propose a novel bootstrap test of a dense model, namely factor regression, against a sparse plus dense alternative augmenting model with sparse idiosyncratic components. The asy…

Factor-augmented sparse MIDAS regressions with an application to nowcasting

Jad Beyhum, Jonas Striaukas

This article investigates factor-augmented sparse MIDAS (Mixed Data Sampling) regressions for high-dimensional time series data, which may be observed at different frequencies. Our…

Machine Learning Panel Data Regressions with Heavy-tailed Dependent Data: Theory and Application

Andrii Babii, Ryan T. Ball, Eric Ghysels +1

The paper introduces structured machine learning regressions for heavy-tailed dependent panel data potentially sampled at different frequencies. We focus on the sparse-group LASSO…

High-Dimensional Granger Causality Tests with an Application to VIX and News

Andrii Babii, Eric Ghysels, Jonas Striaukas

We study Granger causality testing for high-dimensional time series using regularized regressions. To perform proper inference, we rely on heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation co…
