This course will introduce participants to the theoretical properties of modern bootstrap algorithms, as well as guide them in the practical selection of the appropriate bootstrap methodology for the problem of interest. Applications will include macroeconomic models with structural breaks, financial (high-frequency data) and stochastic volatility/GARCH models. At the end of the course, students will possess the tools to assess the validity of the bootstrap through theoretical arguments, as well as to construct numerical simulations to show the finite-sample performance of the estimators and tests of interest.
Topics at a glance:
- Introduction to the bootstrap.
- Models for stationary time series and the bootstrap for stationary autoregressive models.
- Non-stationarity in time series models: unit roots and cointegration, bootstrapping non-stationarity time series models.
- Models for volatility and conditional variances and the bootstrap.
- Non-standard applications of the bootstrap.
The course consists of:
1. lectures: take place from Monday until Friday and are divided into two morning sessions (09:00-11:00 and 11:30-13:30)
2. computer practicums: take place in the afternoon (15:30-17:30) from Monday to Friday (except Wednesday afternoon)
Giuseppe Cavaliere, Professor of Econometrics, University of Bologna and Distinguished Research Professor of Economics, University of Exeter Business School.
PhD Students, Early career Academics, Researchers and Practitioners
The course is designed for students, researchers and practitioners interested in the recent advances in estimation and inference for time-series models. Participants should have a preliminary background in econometrics and probability theory. While any prior knowledge of time series econometrics and bootstrap methods can be helpful, it is not necessary.
The aim of this course is to provide an up-to-date overview of bootstrap methods for statistical inference, with a specific focus on its application to time series models for economic and financial data. Particular attention will be given to estimation and inference for univariate and multivariate models, both for stationary and non-stationary time series.
