Abstract

This paper rigorously analyzes the properties of the local projection (LP) methodology within a high-dimensional (HD) framework, with a central focus on achieving robust long-horizon inference. We integrate a general dependence structure into h-step ahead forecasting models via a flexible specification of the residual terms. Additionally, we study the corresponding HD covariance matrix estimation, explicitly addressing the complexity arising from the long-horizon setting. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to substantiate the derived theoretical findings. In the empirical study, we utilize the proposed HD LP framework to study the impact of business news attention on U.S. industry-level stock volatility.
