Adaptive Strategy of Testing Alphas in High Dimensional Linear Factor Pricing Models
摘要
In recent years, there has been considerable research on testing alphas in high-dimensional linear factor pricing models. In this study, the authors introduce a novel max-type test procedure that performs well under sparse alternatives. Furthermore, the authors demonstrate that this new max-type test procedure is asymptotically independent from the sum-type test procedure proposed by Pesaran and Yamagata (2024). Building on this, the authors propose a Fisher combination test procedure that exhibits good performance for both dense and sparse alternatives.
