On subset least squares estimation and prediction in vector autoregressive models with exogenous variables

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We establish the consistency and the asymptotic distribution of the least squares estimators of the coefficients of a subset vector autoregressive process with exogenous variables (VARX). Using a martingale central limit theorem, we derive the asymptotic normal distribution of the estimators. Diagnostic checking is discussed using kernel‐based

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Clearing the Air: How Fine Particulate Matter Regulations Reshape Farmland Values in U.S. Corn and Soybean Regions

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of air quality regulations targeting fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on farmland values in corn and soybean producing counties in the United States over the period 1997–2022. Using self‐reported farmland value data from the Agricultural Census and county‐level pollution classifications provided by the Environmental ...

Between Sustainable Development, Financialisation and Sovereign Debt Crisis: The Case of Blue Finance as Yet Another Iteration of the Washington Consensus

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As far as international economic law (IEL) is concerned, the ‘Washington Consensus’ generally refers to the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)'s development finance policies and tools. It covers their application to their clients and borrowers with the support of Western governments. This acceptation is of particular interest

The Value of Values: Does Focusing on Sustainability Provide a Competitive Advantage in Forecasting Earnings? La valeur des valeurs : mettre l'accent sur la durabilité confère‐t‐il un avantage concurrentiel dans la prévision des résultats ?

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We identify sustainability‐focused analysts using recent advances in machine learning combined with conference call transcripts. Sustainability‐focused analysts issue more accurate earnings forecasts, and the stock market reacts more strongly to their revisions.

Does the All‐Star Award Affect Chinese Analysts' Performance? Evidence From a Regression Discontinuity Design and the Field Le prix All‐Star influence‐t‐il le rendement des analystes chinois ? Données probantes issues d'une régression sur discontinuité et du terrain

Contemporary Accounting Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of the All‐Star award on the performance of Chinese financial analysts. Leveraging unique voting data from 2007 to 2016 and a regression discontinuity design (RDD), we find that the All‐Star award significantly enhances recipients' fundamental analysis. Awarded analysts issue more accurate earnings forecasts, and
