Abstract

This paper proposes a novel approach to offer a robust inferential theory across all types of persistent regressors in a predictive quantile regression model. We first estimate a quantile regression with an auxiliary regressor, which is generated as a weighted combination of an exogenous random walk process and a bounded transformation of the original regressor. With a similar spirit of rotation in factor analysis, one can then construct a weighted estimator using the estimated coefficients of the original predictor and the auxiliary regressor. Under some mild conditions, it shows that the self-normalized test statistic based on the weighted estimator converges to a standard normal distribution. Our new approach enjoys a good property that it can reach root the local power under the optimal rate T with nonstationary predictor and T for stationary predictor, respectively. More importantly, our approach can be easily used to characterize mixed persistency degrees in multiple regressions. Simulations and empirical studies are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the newly proposed approach. The heterogeneous predictability of US stock returns at different quantile levels is reexamined.(c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
