A comparative Study of Volatility Breaks
In this paper we evaluate the performance of several structural break tests under various DGPs. Concretely we look at size and power properties of CUSUM based, LM and Wald volatility break tests. In a simulation study we derive the properties of the tests under shifts in the unconditional and conditional variance as well as for smooth shifts in the volatility process. Our results indicate that ...
متن کاملMonitoring Business Cycles with Structural Breaks
This paper examines the predictive content of coincident variables for monitoring U.S. recessions in the presence of instabilities. We propose several specifications of a probit model for classifying phases of the business cycle. We find strong evidence in favor of the ones that allow for the possibility that the economy has experienced recurrent breaks. The recession probabilities of these mod...
متن کاملThe KPSS test with two structural breaks
In this paper we generalize the KPSS-type test to allow for two structural breaks. Seven models have been de ned depending on the way that the structural breaks a¤ect the time series behaviour. The paper derives the limit distribution of the test both under the null and the alternative hypotheses and conducts a set of simulation experiments to analyse the performance in nite samples. Keywords:...
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...
متن کاملTesting structural breaks versus long memory with the Box-Pierce statistics: a Monte Carlo study
Several studies have found that occasional-break processes may produce realizations with slowly decaying autocorrelations, which is hardly distinguished from the long memory phenomenon. In this paper we suggest the use of the Box-Pierce statistics to discriminate long memory and occasional-break processes. We conduct an extensive Monte Carlo experiment to examine the finite sample properties of...
