This paper reports the results of an extensive investigation into the use of the jackknife as a method of estimation in stationary autoregressive models. In addition to providing some general theoretical results concerning jackknife methods it is shown that a method based on the use of...

This paper analyses the properties of jackknife estimators of the first-order autoregressive coefficient when the time series of interest contains a unit root. It is shown that, when the sub-samples do not overlap, the sub-sample estimators have different limiting distributions from the...

This paper considers the specification and performance of jackknife estimators of the autoregressive coefficient in a model with a near-unit root. The limit distributions of sub-sample estimators that are used in the construction of the jackknife estimator are derived, and the joint moment...
