We show that the power of the KPSS-test against inte-gration, as measured by divergence rates of the test statistic underthe alternative, remains the same when residuals from an OLS-regression rather than true observations are used.[...]

Als Teil des operationellen Risikos stellt das Modellrisiko eine wichtige Komponente f¨urdie Risikoermittlung bei Finanzinstitutionen dar. Da letztere z.B. bei der Tarifierung undBepreisung von Derivaten bzw. Portfolien oder bei der Markt- und Kreditrisikoberechnungauf stochastische Modelle...

We develop a Wald type test to distinguish between long memory and ESTARnonlinearity by using a directed-Wald statistic to overcome the problem of restricted parametersunder the alternative. The test is derived from two basic model specificationswhere the first is the standard model based on an...

We show that tests for a break in the persistence of a time series in the classicalI(0) - I(1) framework have serious size distortions when the actual data generatingprocess exhibits long-range dependencies. We prove that the limiting distributionof a CUSUM of squares based test depends on the...
