TLDR
In this paper, the authors consider the null hypothesis that a time series has a unit root with possibly nonzero drift against the alternative that the process is "trend-stationary" and show how standard tests of the unit root hypothesis against trend stationary alternatives cannot reject the unit-root hypothesis if the true data generating mechanism is that of stationary fluctuations around a trend function which contains a one-time break.Abstract:
We consider the null hypothesis that a time series has a unit root with possibly nonzero drift against the alternative that the process is «trend-stationary». The interest is that we allow under both the null and alternative hypotheses for the presence for a one-time change in the level or in the slope of the trend function. We show how standard tests of the unit root hypothesis against trend stationary alternatives cannot reject the unit root hypothesis if the true data generating mechanism is that of stationary fluctuations around a trend function which contains a one-time breakread more

Unit root tests under time-varying variances
TL;DR: In this paper, a general framework for investigating the effects of permanent changes in the variance of the errors of an autoregressive process on unit root tests is provided. But it is not shown that under permanent variance shifts, the conventional critical values can lead both to oversized and undersized tests.

Nonlinear interest rate dynamics and implications for the term structure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored nonlinear dynamics in the time series of the short-term interest rate in the United States and proposed an autoregressive threshold model augmented by conditional heteroskedasticity.

Impact of FDI on GDP: A Comparative Study of China and India
Gaurav Agrawal,Mohd. Aamir Khan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of FDI on economic growth of China and India, and found that 1% increase in FDI would result in 0.07% and 0.02% increase, respectively, in India and China, respectively.

Regionalization in the World Crude Oil Market: Further Evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the tests of Weiner's (1991) regionalization hypothesis in Gillen (1997), which employed monthly data, to weekly data from a more recent period (1991:4-1996:52).

Is OPEC a cartel? Evidence from cointegration and causality tests
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the long run relationship between each member's production and total OPEC output via cointegration and causality tests and show that there is evidence of output coordination among members of the organization, especially in the output rationing era.

Co-integration and Error Correction: Representation, Estimation and Testing
TL;DR: The relationship between co-integration and error correction models, first suggested in Granger (1981), is here extended and used to develop estimation procedures, tests, and empirical examples.

Distribution of the Estimators for Autoregressive Time Series with a Unit Root
David A. Dickey,Wayne A. Fuller +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the limit distributions of the estimator of p and of the regression t test are derived under the assumption that p = ± 1, where p is a fixed constant and t is a sequence of independent normal random variables.

Testing for a Unit Root in Time Series Regression
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed new tests for detecting the presence of a unit root in quite general time series models, which accommodate models with a fitted drift and a time trend so that they may be used to discriminate between unit root nonstationarity and stationarity about a deterministic trend.

Convergence of Probability Measures
TL;DR: Weak Convergence in Metric Spaces as discussed by the authors is one of the most common modes of convergence in metric spaces, and it can be seen as a form of weak convergence in metric space.
