Using a Bayesian model comparison strategy, we search for a volatility reduction in U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) growth within the postwar sample. We find that aggregate real GDP growth has been less volatile since the early 1980s, and that this volatility reduction is concentrated in the cyclical component of real GDP.Sales and production growth in many of the components of real GDP display similar reductions in volatility, suggesting the aggregate volatility…

We investigate the power and size performance of unit-root tests when the data undergo Markov regime switching. All tests, including those robust to a single break in trend growth rate, have low power against a process with a Markov-switching trend. Under the null hypothesis, we find that previously documented size distortions in Dickey-Fuller-type tests caused by a single break in trend growth rate or variance do not generalize to most parameterizations of Markov switching…
