Constructing and evaluating core inflation measures from component‐level inflation data

This paper undertakes a comprehensive examination of 10 measures of core inflation and evaluates which measure produces the best forecast of headline inflation out‐of‐sample. We use the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index as our measure of inflation. We use two sets of components (17 and 50) of the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index to construct these core inflation measures and evaluate these measures at the three time horizons (6, 12 and 24 months) most relevant for monetary policy decisions. The best measure of core inflation for both sets of components and over all time horizons uses weights based on the first principal component of the disaggregated (component‐level) prices. Interestingly, the results vary by the number of components used; when more components are used the weights based on the persistence of each component is statistically equivalent to the weights generated by the first principal component. However, those forecasts using the persistence of 50 components are statistically worse than those generated using the first principal component of 17 components. The statistical superiority of the principal component method is due to the fact that it extracts (in the first principal component) the common source of variation in the component level prices that accurately describes trend inflation over the next 6–24 months.

基于信噪比的投资组合策略研究

采用收益率的协方差矩阵的特征根刻划投资的风险;用主成分综合反映证券市场的信息;用主成分的信噪比反映投资组合的期望收益率与风险之间的均衡关系,并以此作为投资组合收益极大化的指标;得到了不同与H.Markowitz的投资组合模型,并给出了具体的投资组合策略-卖空与非卖空条件下的投资组合的比例,文章最后给出了一个实例.
