We propose novel misspecification tests of semiparametric and fully parametric univariate diffusion models based on the estimators developed in Kristensen (Journal of Econometrics, 2010). We first demonstrate that given a preliminary estimator of either the drift or the diffusion term in a...

In this paper we investigate a class of semiparametric models for panel datasets where the cross-section and time dimensions are large. Our model contains a latent time series that is to be estimated and perhaps forecasted along with a nonparametric covariate effect. Our model is motivated by...

A nonparametric kernel estimator of the drift (diffusion) term in a diffusion model are developed given a preliminary parametric estimator of the diffusion (drift) term. Under regularity conditions, rates of convergence and asymptotic normality of the nonparametric estimators are established. We...
