The Sampling Error in Estimates of Mean‐Variance Efficient Portfolio Weights
提出一种精确有限样本统计方法，用于检验均值方差有效组合权重的假设，发现全球有效组合权重的估计存在较大抽样误差。
This paper presents an exact finite‐sample statistical procedure for testing hypotheses about the weights of mean‐variance efficient portfolios. The estimation and inference procedures on efficient portfolio weights are performed in the same way as for the coefficients in an OLS regression. OLS t ‐ and F ‐statistics can be used for tests on efficient weights, and when returns are multivariate normal, these statistics have exact t and F distributions in a finite sample. Using 20 years of data on 11 country stock indexes, we find that the sampling error in estimates of the weights of a global efficient portfolio is large.
