NONLINEAR TIME SERIES MODELS IN ECONOMICS
综述了经济学中使用的非线性时间序列模型,包括来自其他学科(如幂变换、分数积分、确定性混沌)和针对经济行为开发的模型(如逻辑变换、非对称模型、马尔可夫商业周期模型),并讨论了非线性检验及其在经济数据中的普遍性。
Abstract. In recent years there has been great interest in developing nonlinear extensions to the basic Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model popularised by Box and Jenkins. Many of these have been in response to observed nonlinear behaviour in scientific areas such as electronic engineering, geology and oceanography and, as a consequence, have found little application in economics. Economic time series have features peculiar to themselves, and thus often require models to be developed in response to their own special nonlinear character. This paper therefore surveys those nonlinear time series models that have been developed in other disciplines and which have found to be useful for analysing economic time series, such as power transformations, fractional integration and deterministic chaos, and those that have been developed directly in response to nonlinear economic behaviour: for example, logistic transformations, asymmetric models, Markov models for business cycles and time deformation models. Also discussed are various tests for the presence of nonlinearity in time series and the evidence concerning the prevalence of such nonlinearity in economic time series is surveyed.
