A Limit Theorem for Mildly Explosive Autoregression with Stable Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the limiting behavior of the serial correlation coefficient in mildly explosive autoregression, where the error sequence is in the domain of attraction of an α–stable law, α ∈ (0, 2]. Therein, the autoregressive coefficient ρ = ρn > 1 is assumed to satisfy the condition ρn → 1 such that n(ρn − 1) → ∞ as n → ∞. In contrast to the vast majority of existing literature in the area, no specific form of ρ is required. We show that the serial correlation coefficient converges in distribution to a ratio of two independent stable random variables. AMS 2000 Subject Classification: Primary 62M10, Secondary 91B84.

Limit Theory for Continuous Time Systems with Mildly Explosive Regressors∗
New limit theory is developed for co-moving systems with explosive processes, connecting continuous and discrete time formulations. The theory uses double asymptotics with infill (as the sampling interval tends to zero) and large time span asymptotics. The limit theory explicitly involves initial conditions, allows for drift in the system, is provided for single and multiple explosive regressor...
متن کاملThe Local Limit Theorem: A Historical Perspective
The local limit theorem describes how the density of a sum of random variables follows the normal curve. However the local limit theorem is often seen as a curiosity of no particular importance when compared with the central limit theorem. Nevertheless the local limit theorem came first and is in fact associated with the foundation of probability theory by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fer...

متن کاملNear–Integrated Random Coefficient Autoregressive Time Series
We determine the limiting behavior of near–integrated first–order random coefficient autoregressive RCA(1) time series. It is shown that the asymptotics of the finite dimensional distributions crucially depends on how the critical value 1 is approached, which determines whether the process is near–stationary, has a unit–root or is mildly explosive. In a second part, we derive the limit distribu...
متن کاملAnalysis of co-explosive processes
A vector autoregressive model allowing for unit roots as well as explosive characteristic roots is developed. The Granger-Johansen representation shows that this results in processes with two common features: a random walk and an explosively growing process. Co-integrating and co-explosive vectors can be found which eliminate these common factors. Likelihood ratio tests for linear restrictions ...
