Bandwidth Selection, Prewhitening, and the Power of the Phillips-Perron Test
带宽选择、预白化与 Phillips–Perron 检验的功效
This study examines several important practical issues concerning nonparametric estimation of the innovation variance for the Phillips-Perron (PP) test. A Monte Carlo study is conducted to evaluate the potential effects of kernel choice, databased bandwidth selection, and prewhitening on the power property of the PP test in finite samples. The Monte Carlo results are instructive. Although the kernel choice is found to make little difference, data-based bandwidth selection…
