The models for testing and dating breaks in stock returns and volatilities often rely on the restrictive assumption of common breaks. This assumption suggests that a shift occurred due to common innovations. Models under this assumption can only be estimated simultaneously. This assumption may...

This paper introduces a multivariate long-memory model with structural breaks. In the proposed framework, time series exhibit possibly fractional orders of integration which are allowed to be different in each subsample. The break date is endogenously determined using a procedure which minimises...
