Trend Break or Unit Root in GDP of Iran
It has been suggested that existing estimates of the long-run impact of a surprise move in income may have a substantial upward bias due to the presence of a trend break in 1970s (1350s) and 1980s (1360s) gross domestic product (contained oil) data of Iran. This article shows that the statistical evidence does not warrant abandoning the no-trend-break null hypothesis at the 5% significance leve...
متن کاملChina’s Economic Growth: Evidence from Multiple-break Unit Root Tests
This paper performs multiple-break unit root tests on the data of China’s national and sectoral output and labour productivity, with finite-sample critical values bootstrapped through Monte Carlo simulations. We find strong evidence against the unit-root hypothesis in favour of the segmentedtrend-stationarity alternative. Based on breaking trend functions, the steady-state and transitional grow...
متن کاملUnit Root Tests for Time Series with a Structural Break When the Break Point Is Known
Unit root tests for time series with level shifts are considered. The level shift is assumed to occur at a known time point. In contrast to some other proposals the level shift is modeled as part of the intercept term of the stationary component of the data generation process which is separated from the unit root component. In this framework simple shift functions result in a smooth transition ...
متن کاملBootstrap Unit Root Tests
We consider the bootstrap unit root tests based on finite order autoregressive integrated models driven by iid innovations, with or without deterministic time trends. A general methodology is developed to approximate asymptotic distributions for the models driven by integrated time series, and used to obtain asymptotic expansions for the Dickey–Fuller unit root tests. The second-order terms in ...
متن کاملOn the end-point issue in unit root tests in the presence of a structural break
This paper shows that the spurious rejection problem illustrated by Leybourne et al. (1998) [Leybourne, S.J., Mills, T., Newbold, P., 1998. Spurious rejections by Dickey–Fuller tests in the presence of a break under the null. Journal of Econometrics 87, 191–203] is restricted to the DF type test, which is based on the conditional likelihood function discarding the first observation. 2000 Else...
