Confidence sets for the break date based on optimal tests
基于最优检验的结构断点日期置信集
In this paper, we propose constructing a confidence set for the date of a one‐time structural change using a point optimal test. Following Elliott and Müller (2007, Journal of Econometrics 141, 1196–1218), we first construct a test for the break date that maximizes the weighted average of the power function. The confidence set is then obtained by inverting the test statistic. We carefully choose the weights and show by Monte Carlo simulations that the confidence set based on…
