本次讲座的主要内容是：Matrix time series are frequently observed in many applications, while no formal study has been given to test and model for their structural changes. This paper first constructs a new generalized Hausman test for detecting the structural change in a multiplicative form of matrix time series model. This generalized Hausman test is asymptotically pivotal, and it has nontrivial power to detect a broad class of abrupt and smooth change alternatives. Moreover, this paper proposes a new semiparametric matrix time series model, which has a time varying long run component to take the structural change into account, and a BEKK type short run component to capture the temporal dependence. A two-step estimation procedure is given to estimate this semiparametric model, and the asymptotics of the related estimators are established. Finally, the importance of the generalized Hausman test and the semiparametric model is illustrated by simulations and an application to realized covariance matrix data.
