We investigate changes in the time series characteristics of postwar U.S. inflation. In a model-based analysis the conditional mean of inflation is specified by a long memory autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average process and the conditional variance is modelled by a stochastic...

We develop a new parameter stability test against the alternative of observation driven generalized autoregressive score dynamics. The new test generalizes the ARCH-LM test of Engle (1982) to settings beyond time-varying volatility and exploits any autocorrelation in the likelihood scores under...

We propose a new unified approach to identifying and estimating spatio-temporal dependence structures in large panels. The model accommodates global crosssectional dependence due to global dynamic factors as well as local cross-sectional dependence, which may arise from local network structures....
