In this paper, we estimate the Shannon entropy S(f)=-E[log(f(x))] of a one-sided linear process with probability density function f(x). We employ the integral estimator Sn(f), which utilizes the standard kernel density estimator fn(x) of f(x). We show that Sn(f) converges to S(f) almost surely...

The asymptotic null distribution of the nonlinear IV panel unit root test due to Chang (2002, Journal of Econometrics 110, 261-292) is examined under the assumption of an invertible general linear process with a weak summability condition. An autoregressive approximation of order p, with p...

Summary We study a model with an abrupt change in the mean and dependent errors that form a linear process. Different kinds of statistics are considered, such as maximum-type statistics (particularly different CUSUM procedures) or sum-type statistics. Approximations of the critical values for...

This paper proposes two simple and new specification tests based on the use of an orthogonal series for a considerable class of cointegrated time series models with endogeneity and nonsta-tionarity. The paper then establishes an asymptotic theory for each of the proposed tests. The first test is...
