However, the heavy-tailed nature of macroeconomic and financial data is often neglected in statistical analysis. To address this issue, we propose a robust approach to estimate factor loadings and scores by minimizing the Huber loss function, which is motivated by the equivalence between conventional Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the constrained least squares method in the factor model. We provide two algorithms that use different penalty forms. The first algorithm involves an element-wise-type Huber loss minimization, solved by an iterative Huber regression algorithm. The second algorithm, which we refer to as Huber PCA, minimizes the <span><math><msub><mrow><mi>ℓ</mi></mrow><mrow><mn>2</mn></mrow></msub></math></span>-norm-type Huber loss and performs PCA on the weighted sample covariance matrix. We examine the theoretical minimizer of the element-wise Huber loss function and demonstrate that it has the same convergence rate as conventional PCA when the idiosyncratic errors have bounded second moments. We also derive their asymptotic distributions under mild conditions. Moreover, we suggest a consistent model selection criterion that relies on rank minimization to estimate the number of factors robustly.

FC regression models are also useful when formal cointegration is absent, in the sense that the equation errors may themselves be nonstationary, but where the nonstationary series display well-defined FC linkages that can be meaningfully interpreted as correlation measures involving the covariates. The present paper proposes new nonparametric estimators for such FC regression models where the nonstationary series display linkages that enable consistent estimation of the correlation measures between them. Specifically, we develop <span><math><msqrt><mrow><mi>n</mi></mrow></msqrt></math></span>-consistent estimators for the functional coefficient and establish their asymptotic distributions, which involve mixed normal limits that facilitate inference. Two novel features that appear in the limit theory are (i) the need for non-diagonal matrix normalization due to the presence of stationary and nonstationary components in the regression; and (ii) random bias elements that appear in the asymptotic distribution of the kernel estimators, again resulting from the nonstationary regression components. Numerical studies reveal that the proposed estimators achieve significant efficiency improvements compared to the estimators suggested in earlier work by Sun et al. (2011). Easily implementable specification tests with standard chi-square asymptotics are suggested to check for constancy of the functional coefficient. These tests are shown to have faster divergence rate under local alternatives and enjoy superior performance in simulations than tests proposed in Gan et al. (2014). An empirical application based on the quantity theory of money is included, illustrating the practical use of correlated but non-cointegrated regression relations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15629,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Econometrics","volume":"249 ","pages":"Article 105996"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143642830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On one hand, RAs can improve the efficiency of causal estimators by incorporating information from covariates that are not used in the randomization. On the other hand, RAs can degrade estimation efficiency due to their estimation errors, which are not asymptotically negligible when the number of regressors is of the same order as the sample size. Ignoring the estimation errors of RAs may result in serious over-rejection of causal inference under the null hypothesis. To address the issue, we construct a new ATE estimator by optimally linearly combining the estimators with and without RAs. We then develop a unified inference theory for this estimator under CARs. It has two features: (1) the Wald test based on it achieves the exact asymptotic size under the null hypothesis, regardless of whether the number of covariates is fixed or diverges no faster than the sample size; and (2) it guarantees weak efficiency improvement over estimators both with and without RAs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15629,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Econometrics","volume":"249 ","pages":"Article 105991"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143629093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
