Bivariate time series data often show strong relationships between the two components, while both individual variables can be approximated by random walks in the short run and are obviously bounded in the long run. Three model classes are considered for a time-series model selection problem:...

The occurrence of decision problems with changing roles of null and alternative hypotheses has increased interest in extending the classical hypothesis testing setup. Particularly, confirmation analysis has been in the focus of some recent contributions in econometrics. We emphasize that...

The problem of detecting unit roots in univariate and multivariate time series data is treated as a problem of multiple decisions instead of a testing problem, as is otherwise common in the econometric and statistical literature. Four examples for such multiple decision designs are considered:...
