A New Unit Root Test against Asymmetric ESTAR Nonlinearity with Smooth Breaks
T his paper proposes a new unit root test against the alternative of symmetric or asymmetric exponential smooth transition autoregressive (AESTAR) nonlinearity that accounts for multiple smooth breaks. We provide small sample properties which indicate the test statistics have good empirical size and power. Also, we compared small sample properties of the test statistics with Christop...
متن کاملMinimum LM Unit Root Test with Two Structural Breaks
The two-break unit root test of Lumsdaine and Papell (1997) is examined and found to suffer from bias and spurious rejections in the presence of structural breaks under the null. A two-break minimum LM unit root test is proposed as a remedy. The two-break LM test does not suffer from bias and spurious rejections and is mostly invariant to the size, location, and misspecification of the breaks. ...
متن کاملDetermination of a jump by Fourier and Fourier-Chebyshev series
By observing the equivalence of assertions on determining the jump of a function by its differentiated or integrated Fourier series, we generalize a previous result of Kvernadze, Hagstrom and Shapiro to the whole class of functions of harmonic bounded variation. This is achieved without the finiteness assumption on the number of discontinuities. Two results on determination of ...
متن کاملPurchasing Power Parity during Currency Crises: A Panel Unit Root Test under Structural Breaks
In this paper the relevance of the PPP as a long-run relationship is studied using a panel of Latin American and Asian countries. We investigate the stationarity of real exchange rates by applying a new panel unit root test that is robust to structural breaks due to currency crises. It turns out that the long-run PPP relationship is relevant for the Asian countries, which experienced a flexible...
متن کاملUnit Root Tests and Structural Breaks: A Survey with Applications
The theme of unit roots in macroeconomic time series have received a great amount of attention in terms of theoretical and applied research over the last three decades. Since the seminal work by Nelson and Plosser (1982), testing for the presence of a unit root in the time series data has become a topic of great concern. This issue gained further momentum with Perron’s 1989 paper which emphasiz...
