In this paper we propose and analyse the Autoregressive Conditional Root (ACR) time series mmodel. It is a multivariate dynamic mixture autoregression which allows for non-stationary epochs. It proves to be an appealing alternative to existing nonlinear models such as e.g. the threshold...

In this paper we propose and analyse the Autoregressive Conditional Root (ACR) timeseries model, which allows for endogenously generated regime switching between seemingly stationaryand non-stationary epochs. It proves to be an appealing alternative to existing nonlinear models suchas e.g. the...

The goal of this paper is to disentangle the respective contributions of the nominal exchange rate and the price differential to the adjustment towards the Purchasing Power Parity relation. To this end, we estimate a multivariate threshold vector equilibrium correction model, whose dynamics is...

Cointegration is studied for a non-linear autoregressive process characterized by discontinuous and regime-dependent equilibrium or error correction. Here the disequilibrium, as measured by the norm of linear "stable" or cointegrating relations, determines the regime and hence the equilibrium...
