We propose methods for constructing confidence sets for the timing of a break in level and/or trend that have asymptotically correct coverage for both I(0) and I(1) processes. These are based on inverting a sequence of tests for the break location, evaluated across all possible break dates. We...

This study aims to evaluate the long-run and short-run relationships among foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and their determinants in Jordan for the (1978–2012) period. The bounds testing approach is used to analyze the long-run and short-run relationships among the variables. However,...

It is well known that the set of non-negative integers is the state-space of usual branching stochastic processes. However in many applications one may have situations when it is difficult to count the number of individuals in the population, but some non-negative characteristic, such as volume,...
