| Title: | An R Package for Factor Model Asset Pricing |
|---|---|
| Description: | Functions for evaluating and testing asset pricing models, including estimation and testing of factor risk premia, selection of "strong" risk factors (factors having nonzero population correlation with test asset returns), heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust covariance matrix estimation and testing for model misspecification and identification. The functions for estimating and testing factor risk premia implement the Fama-MachBeth (1973) <doi:10.1086/260061> two-pass approach, the misspecification-robust approaches of Kan-Robotti-Shanken (2013) <doi:10.1111/jofi.12035>, and the approaches based on tradable factor risk premia of Quaini-Trojani-Yuan (2023) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4574683>. The functions for selecting the "strong" risk factors are based on the Oracle estimator of Quaini-Trojani-Yuan (2023) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.4574683> and the factor screening procedure of Gospodinov-Kan-Robotti (2014) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.2579821>. The functions for evaluating model misspecification implement the HJ model misspecification distance of Kan-Robotti (2008) <doi:10.1016/j.jempfin.2008.03.003>, which is a modification of the prominent Hansen-Jagannathan (1997) <doi:10.1111/j.1540-6261.1997.tb04813.x> distance. The functions for testing model identification specialize the Kleibergen-Paap (2006) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2005.02.011> and the Chen-Fang (2019) <doi:10.1111/j.1540-6261.1997.tb04813.x> rank test to the regression coefficient matrix of test asset returns on risk factors. Finally, the function for heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust covariance estimation implements the Newey-West (1994) <doi:10.2307/2297912> covariance estimator. |

Tests the null hypothesis of reduced rank in the matrix of regression

beta rank test. The test applies the Kleibergen-Paap (2006) doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2005.02.011
iterative rank test
for initial rank estimation when target_level_kp2006_rank_test > 0, with an
adjustment to level = target_level_kp2006_rank_test / n_factors. When
target_level_kp2006_rank_test <= 0, the number of singular values above
n_observations^(-1/4) is used instead. It presumes that the number of factors
is less than the number of returns (n_factors < n_returns).

Computes the three-pass procedure of Feng Giglio and Xiu (2020)
doi:org/10.1111/jofi.12883, which evaluates the contribution
to cross-sectional pricing of any new factors on top of a set of control
factors.
The third step is a OLS regression of average returns on the covariances between
asset returns and the new factors, as well as the control factors selected
in either one of the first two steps.
The first stwo steps consists in (i) a Lasso regression of average returns
on the ovariances between asset returns and all control factors and (ii)
a Lasso regression of the covariances between asset returns and the new factors
on the ovariances between asset returns and all control factors.
The second selection aims at correcting for potential omitted variables in the
first selection.
Tuning of the penalty parameters in the Lasso regressions is performed via
Cross Validation (CV).
Standard errors are computed following Feng Giglio and Xiu (2020) using the
Newey-West (1994) doi:10.2307/2297912 plug-in procedure to select the number
of relevant lags, i.e., n_lags = 4 * (n_observations/100)^(2/9).
For the standard error computations, the function allows to internally
pre-whiten the series by fitting a VAR(1),
i.e., a vector autoregressive model of order 1.

risk premia:
FMFRP = (beta' * beta)^{-1} * beta' * E[R] where
beta = Cov[R, F] * V[F]^{-1}
or the misspecification-robust factor risk premia of Kan-Robotti-Shanken (2013)

KRSFRP = (beta' * V[R]^{-1} * beta)^{-1} * beta' * V[R]^{-1} * E[R],
from data on factors F and test
asset excess returns R.
These notions of factor risk premia are by construction the negative
covariance of factors F with candidate SDF
M = 1 - d' * (F - E[F]),
where SDF coefficients d are obtained by minimizing pricing errors:
argmin_{d} (E[R] - Cov[R,F] * d)' * (E[R] - Cov[R,F] * d)
and
argmin_{d} (E[R] - Cov[R,F] * d)' * V[R]^{-1} * (E[R] - Cov[R,F] * d),
respectively.
Optionally computes the corresponding
heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust standard errors (accounting

Performs the factor screening procedure of
Gospodinov-Kan-Robotti (2014) doi:10.2139/ssrn.2579821, which is
an iterative model screening procedure
based on the sequential removal of factors associated with the smallest insignificant
t-test of a nonzero misspecification-robust SDF coefficient. The significance threshold for the
absolute t-test is set to target_level / n_factors,
where n_factors indicates the number of factors in the model at the current iteration;
that is, it takes care of the multiple testing problem via a conservative
Bonferroni correction. Standard errors are computed with the
heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation using the Newey-West (1994)
doi:10.2307/2297912 estimator, where the number of lags

Computes the Kan-Robotti (2008) <10.1016/j.jempfin.2008.03.003>
squared model misspecification distance:
square_distance = min_{d} (E[R] - Cov[R,F] * d)' * V[R]^{-1} * (E[R] - Cov[R,F] * d),
where R denotes test asset excess returns and F risk factors,
and computes the associated confidence interval.
This model misspecification distance is a modification of the prominent
Hansen-Jagannathan (1997) doi:10.1111/j.1540-6261.1997.tb04813.x
distance, adapted to the use of excess returns for the test asset, and a
SDF that is a linear function of demeaned factors.
Clearly, computation of the confidence interval is obtained by means of an
asymptotic analysis under potentially misspecified models, i.e.,
without assuming correct model specification.

Evaluates the rank of regression loadings in an asset pricing model using the
iterative Kleibergen-Paap (2006) doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2005.02.011 beta rank test.
It systematically tests the null hypothesis
for each potential rank q = 0, ..., n_factors - 1 and estimates the rank as the smallest q
that has a p-value below the significance level, adjusted for the number of factors.
The function presupposes more returns than factors (n_factors < n_returns).

Computes Oracle tradable factor risk premia of
Quaini-Trojani-Yuan (2023) doi:10.2139/ssrn.4574683 from data on
K factors F = [F_1,...,F_K]' and test asset excess returns R:
OTFRP = argmin_x ||TFRP - x||_2^2 + tau * sum_{k=1}^K w_k * |x_k|,
where TFRP is the tradable factor risk premia estimator, tau > 0 is a
penalty parameter, and the Oracle weights are given by
w_k = 1 / ||corr[F_k, R]||_2^2.
This estimator is called "Oracle" in the sense that the probability that
the index set of its nonzero estimated risk premia equals the index set of
the true strong factors tends to 1 (Oracle selection), and that on the strong
factors, the estimator reaches the optimal asymptotic Normal distribution.
Here, strong factors are those that have a nonzero population marginal
correlation with asset excess returns.
Tuning of the penalty parameter tau is performed via Generalized Cross
Validation (GCV), Cross Validation (CV) or Rolling Validation (RV).
GCV tunes parameter tau by minimizing the criterium:
||PE(tau)||_2^2 / (1-df(tau)/T)^2
where
PE(tau) = E[R] - beta_{S(tau)} * OTFRP(tau)
are the pricing errors of the model for given tuning parameter tau,
with S(tau) being the index set of the nonzero Oracle TFRP computed with
tuning parameter tau, and
beta_{S(tau)} = Cov[R, F_{S(tau)}] * (Cov[F_{S(tau)}, R] * V[R]^{-1} * Cov[R, F_{S(tau)}])^{-1}
the regression coefficients of the test assets excess returns on the
factor mimicking portfolios,
and df(tau) = |S(tau)| are the degrees of freedom of the model, given by the
number of nonzero Oracle TFRP.
CV and RV, instead, choose the value of tau that minimize the criterium:
PE(tau)' * V[PE(tau)]^{-1} PE(tau)
where V[PE(tau)] is the diagonal matrix collecting the marginal variances
of pricing errors PE(tau), and each of these components are
aggregated over k-fold cross-validated data or over rolling windows of data,
respectively.
Oracle weights can be based on the correlation between factors and returns
(suggested approach),
on the regression coefficients of returns on factors or on the first-step
tradable risk premia estimator. Optionally computes the corresponding
heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust standard errors using the
Newey-West (1994) doi:10.2307/2297912 plug-in procedure to select the number
of relevant lags, i.e., n_lags = 4 * (n_observations/100)^(2/9).
For the standard error computations, the function allows to internally
pre-whiten the series by fitting a VAR(1),
i.e., a vector autoregressive model of order 1.

Computes tradable factor risk premia from data on factors F and
test asset excess returns R:
TFRP = Cov[F, R] * Var[R]^{-1} * E[R];
which are by construction the negative covariance of factors F with
the SDF projection on asset returns, i.e., the minimum variance SDF.
Optionally computes the corresponding heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation
robust standard errors using the Newey-West (1994) doi:10.2307/2297912
plug-in procedure to select the number of relevant lags, i.e.,
n_lags = 4 * (n_observations/100)^(2/9).
For the standard error computations, the function allows to internally
pre-whiten the series by fitting a VAR(1),
i.e., a vector autoregressive model of order 1.
