ADL tests for threshold cointegration
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose new tests for threshold cointegration in the autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model. The indicators in the threshold model are based on either a nonstationary or stationary threshold variable. The cointegrating vector in this paper is not pre-specified. We adopt a supremum Wald type test to account for the so-called Davies problem. The asymptotic null distributions of the proposed tests are free of nuisance parameters. As such, a bootstrap procedure is not required and critical values of the proposed tests are tabulated. A Monte Carlo experiment shows a good finite-sample performance of the proposed tests. JEL classification: C12; C15; C32

System-Equation ADL Tests for Threshold Cointegration
In this paper we develop new system-equation tests for threshold cointegration based on a threshold vector autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model. The proposed tests do not require weak exogeneity, and can be applied when cointegrating vector is unknown. The asymptotic null distributions of the tests are expressed as functionals of two-parameter Brownian motion. The distributions are free o...
متن کاملSingle-equation ADL tests for threshold cointegration
In this paper, we propose new tests for threshold cointegration in the conditional autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model. The indicators in the threshold model are based on either a nonstationary or stationary threshold variable. The proposed tests are appropriate when the conditioning variables are weakly exogenous. The cointegrating vector in this paper is not pre-specified. We adopt a s...
متن کاملSystem-Equation ADL Test for Threshold Cointegration with an Application to the Term Structure of Interest Rates
This paper proposes a new system-equation test for threshold cointegration based on a threshold vector autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) model. The new test can be applied when the cointegrating vector is unknown and when weak exogeneity fails. The asymptotic null distribution of the new test is derived, critical values are tabulated, and finite-sample properties are examined. In particular,...
متن کاملNonlinear Analysis of Economic Growth, Public Debt and Policy Tools
This paper empirically analyzes the nonlinear relation between real GDP growth per capital and public debt by employing ADL test for threshold cointegration method. Empirical results show that there exists a threshold cointegration relationship between public debt and real GDP growth per capital. In case of the empirical results, cutting public debt could boost economic growth in the long-term....
متن کاملBootstrap testing for the null of no cointegration in a threshold vector error correction model
We develop a test for the linear no cointegration null hypothesis in a threshold vector error correction model. We adopt a sup-Wald type test and derive its null asymptotic distribution. A residual-based bootstrap is proposed, and the first-order consistency of the bootstrap is established. A set of Monte Carlo simulations shows that the bootstrap corrects size distortion of asymptotic distribu...
