This paper considers the estimation of multiple-structural-break models under specification errors. A common example in economics is that the true model is measured in level, but a linear-log model is estimated. We show that, under specification errors, if there are more than one break points...

This paper considers various asymptotic approximations to the finite sample distribution of the estimate of the break date in a simple one-break model for a linear trend function that exhibits a change in slope, with or without a concurrent change in intercept. The noise component is either...

This paper considers various asymptotic approximations in the near-integrated first-order autoregressive model with a non-zero initial condition. We first extend the work of Knight and Satchell (1993), who considered the random walk case with a zero initial con-dition, to derive the expansion of...
