We provide a new asymptotic theory for local time density estimation for a general class of functionals of integrated … time series. This result provides a convenient basis for developing an asymptotic theory for nonparametric cointegrating … avoids Fourier integral representations and Markov process theory which have been used in earlier research on this type of …

Estimation of the memory parameter (d) is considered for models of nonstationary fractionally integrated time series with d gt; (1/2). It is shown that the log periodogram regression estimator of d is inconsistent when 1 lt; d lt; 2 and is consistent when (1/2) lt; d = 1. For d gt; 1, the...

Some limit properties for information based model selection criteria are given in the context of unit root evaluation and various assumptions about initial conditions. Allowing for a nonparametric short memory component, standard information criteria are shown to be weakly consistent for a unit...

Time series models are often fitted to the data without preliminary checks for stability of the mean and variance, conditions that may not hold in much economic and financial data, particularly over long periods. Ignoring such shifts may result in fitting models with spurious dynamics that lead...

While differencing transformations can eliminate nonstationarity, they typically reduce signal strength and correspondingly reduce rates of convergence in unit root autoregressions. The present paper shows that aggregating moment conditions that are formulated in differences provides an orderly...

This paper proposes a nonparametric test for common trends in semiparametric panel data models with fixed effects based on a measure of nonparametric goodness-of-fit (R^2). We first estimate the model under the null hypothesis of common trends by the method of profile least squares, and obtain...

A commonly used defining property of long memory time series is the power law decay of the autocovariance function. Some alternative methods of deriving this property are considered working from the alternate definition in terms of a fractional pole in the spectrum at the origin. The methods...
