Confidence Sets for the Emergence, Collapse, and Recovery Dates of a Bubble
泡沫出现、崩溃与恢复日期的置信集
We propose constructing confidence sets for the emergence, collapse, and recovery dates of a bubble separately by inverting tests for the location of the break date. We examine both likelihood ratio-type tests and the Elliott-Muller-type (2007) tests for detecting break locations. The limiting distributions of these tests are derived under the null hypothesis, and their asymptotic consistency under the alternative is established. Finite-sample properties are evaluated…
