This Phillips-Ouliaris (1988) non-parametric unit root test for non seasonal data and the seasonal one of Joyeux (1992) are based in the estimation of the spectral density function in a fixed frequency. We can get consistent estimations of the spectrum using spectral windows, but such procedure...

Tourism is one of the most important sectors in the global economy and is considered an efficient tool with which to promote economic growth. The case of Spain's economy is well known in this respect; in fact, widespread consensus exists on the part played by tourism in enhancing the...

The lack of suitable critical values for the Dickey-Fuller integrability test in finite-samples can drive researchers to spurious conclusions when using asymptotic critical values. In this paper we estimate response surfaces for the Dickey-Fuller unit root test with structural breaks that allow...
