9.2 Macroeconometric Factor Models
For macroeconomic factor models, the factors are observed and we can apply the least-squares method to the MLR model in Eq. (9.4) to perform estimation. The estimate is
![]()
from which the estimates of
and
are readily available. The residuals of Eq. (9.4) are
![]()
Based on the model assumption, the covariance matrix of
is estimated by
![]()
where
is the (i, i)th element of
. Furthermore, the R2 of the ith asset of Eq. (9.3) is
![]()
where
denotes the (i, i)th element of the matrix ...
