An Improved Nonparametric Unit–Root Test Jiti Gao and Maxwell King An Improved Nonparametric Unit–Root Test
This paper proposes a simple and improved nonparametric unit–root test. An asymptotic distribution of the proposed test is established. Finite sample comparisons with an existing nonparametric test are discussed. Some issues about possible extensions are outlined.
متن کاملA New Bayesian Unit Root Test in Stochastic Volatility Models∗
A new posterior odds analysis is proposed to test for a unit root in volatility dynamics in the context of stochastic volatility models. Our analysis extends the Bayesian unit root test of So and Li (1999, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics) in the two important ways. First, a numerically more stable algorithm is introduced to compute Bayes factors, taking into account the special stru...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Panel Unit Root Test under Cross Section Dependence
We propose a nonlinear heterogeneous panel unit root test for testing the null hypothesis of unit-root processes against the alternative that allows a proportion of units to be generated by globally stationary ESTAR processes and a remaining non-zero proportion to be generated by unit root processes. The proposed test is simple to apply and accommodates cross section dependence. Monte Carlo sim...
متن کاملUnit Root Testing with Unstable Volatility
It is known that unit root test statistics may not have the usual asymptotic properties when the variance of innovations is unstable. In particular, persistent changes in volatility can cause the size of unit root tests to differ from the nominal level. In this paper we propose a class of modified unit root test statistics that are robust to the presence of unstable volatility. The modification...
متن کاملTesting for a Unit Root with Near-Integrated Volatility
This paper considers tests for a unit root when the innovations follow a near-integrated GARCH process. We compare the asymptotic properties of the likelihood ratio statistic with that of the leastsquares based Dickey-Fuller statistic. We first use asymptotics where the GARCH variance process is stationary with fixed parameters, and then consider parameter sequences such that the GARCH process ...
