Unit root testing under a local break in trend
Recent approaches to testing for a unit root when uncertainty exists over the presence and timing of a trend break employ break detection methods, so that a with-break unit root test is used only if a break is detected by some auxiliary statistic. While these methods achieve near asymptotic e ciency in both xed trend break and no trend break environments, in nite samples pronounced \valleys" in...
متن کاملTrend 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 کاملTesting for a unit root in the presence of a possible break in trend
We consider the issue of testing a time series for a unit root in the possible presence of a break in a linear deterministic trend at an unknown point in the series. We propose a new break fraction estimator which, where a break in trend occurs, is consistent for the true break fraction at rate Op(T). Unlike other available estimators, however, when there is no trend break our estimator converg...
متن کاملOn infimum Dickey-Fuller unit root tests allowing for a trend break under the null
Trend breaks appear to be prevalent in macroeconomic time series. Consequently, to avoid the catastrophic impact that unmodelled trend breaks have on power it is standard empirical practice to employ unit root tests which allow for such effects. A popularly applied approach is the infimum ADF-type test. Its appeal has endured with practitioners despite results which show that the infimum ADF st...
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 ...
