BOOTSTRAP-ASSISTED UNIT ROOT TESTING WITH PIECEWISE LOCALLY STATIONARY ERRORS
分段局部平稳误差下的自助辅助单位根检验
In unit root testing, a piecewise locally stationary process is adopted to accommodate nonstationary errors that can have both smooth and abrupt changes in second- or higher-order properties. Under this framework, the limiting null distributions of the conventional unit root test statistics are derived and shown to contain a number of unknown parameters. To circumvent the difficulty of direct consistent estimation, we propose to use the dependent wild bootstrap to…
