This article presents a new continuous-time modelling framework for multivariate time series of counts which have an infinitely divisible marginal distribution. The model is based on a mixed moving average process driven by Levy noise - called a trawl process - where the serial correlation and...

Researchers regularly use synthetic control methods for estimating causal effects when a sub-set of units receive a single persistent treatment, and the rest are unaffected by the change. In many applications, however, units not assigned to treatment are nevertheless impacted by the intervention...

This paper develops a novel method for policy choice in a dynamic setting where the available data is a multi-variate time-series. Building on the statistical treatment choice framework, we propose Time-series Empirical Welfare Maximization (T-EWM) methods to estimate an optimal policy rule for...

The likelihood function for general non-linear, non-Gaussian state space models is a high- dimensional integral with no closed-form solution. In this paper, I show how to calculate the likelihood function exactly for a large class of non-Gaussian state space models that includes stochastic...

This paper conducts a broad-based comparison of iterated and direct multi-step forecasting approaches applied to both univariate and multivariate models. Theoretical results and Monte Carlo simulations suggest that iterated forecasts dominate direct forecasts when estimation error is a...

We present a new theory for the conduct of nonparametric inference about the latent spot volatility of a semimartingale … in local estimation blocks, our theory treats the estimation block size k as fixed. While the resulting spot volatility … estimator is no longer consistent, the new theory permits the construction of asymptotically valid and easy …
