SPECIFICATION SENSITIVITY IN RIGHT-TAILED UNIT ROOT TESTING FOR EXPLOSIVE BEHAVIOUR By
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article aims to provide some empirical guidelines for the practical implementation of right-tailed unit root tests, focusing on the recursive right-tailed ADF test of Phillips et al. (2011b).We analyze and compare the limit theory of the recursive test under different hypotheses andmodel specifications.The size and power properties of the test under various scenarios are examined and some recommendations for empirical practice are given. Some new results on the consistent estimation of localizing drift exponents are obtained,which are useful in assessing model specification. Empirical applications to stock markets illustrate these specification issues and reveal their practical importance in testing.

Specification Sensitivity in Right-Tailed Unit Root Testing for Explosive Behavior∗
Right-tailed unit root tests have proved promising for detecting exuberance in economic and financial activities. Like left-tailed tests, the limit theory and test performance are sensitive to the null hypothesis and the model specification used in parameter estimation. This paper aims to provide some empirical guidelines for the practical implementation of right-tailed unit root tests, focusin...

The bubble of Asset Price is the deviation of the asset price from its fundamental value. Since the many of the financial crisis arise from bursting bubble of financial assets, the explore of bubble behaviors in these markets and the early detection for the prevention of adverse economic consequences is important. Considering the criticisms of conventional tests for detecting price bubbles and ...
متن کاملA Study of Testing Mean Reversion in the Inflation Rate of Iran’s Provinces: New Evidence Using Quantile Unit Root Test
T his paper is to examine the mean reverting properties of inflation rates for Iran’s 25 provinces over the period from 1990:4 to 2017:7. To the end, we use various conventional univariate linear and non-linear unit root tests, as well as quantile unit root test by Koenker and Xiao (2004). Results of conventional unit root tests indicate that the null hypothesis of the unit root test...
متن کاملAsymptotic behaviour of tests for a unit root against an explosive alternative
We compare the asymptotic local power of upper-tail unit root tests against an explosive alternative based on ordinary least squares (OLS) and quasi-di erenced (QD) demeaning/detrending. We nd that under an asymptotically negligible initialization, the QD-based tests are near asymptotically e cient and generally o er superior power to OLS-based approaches; however, the power gains are much more...
