While it is widely agreed that Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) holds as a long-run concept the specific dynamic driving the process is largely build upon a priori economic belief rather than a thorough statistical modeling procedure. The two prevailing time series models, i.e. the exponential...

Exponential smooth transition autoregressive (ESTAR) models are widely used in the international finance literature, particularly for the modelling of real exchange rates. We show that the exponential function is ill-suited as a regime weighting function because of two undesirable properties....

There is a growing literature on unit root testing in threshold autoregressive models. This paper makes two contributions to the literature. First, an asymptotic theory is developed for unit root testing in a threshold autoregression, in which the errors are allowed to be dependent and...

Exponential smooth transition autoregressive (ESTAR) models have been widely used in the empirical international finance literature. We show that the exponential function used in ESTAR models is ill-suited as a regime weighting function because of two undesirable properties. The first is that it...

This paper develops tests of the null hypothesis of linearity in the context of autoregressive models with Markov-switching means and variances. These tests are robust to the identification failures that plague conventional likelihood-based inference methods. The approach exploits the moments of...

We introduce a discrete-time model for electricity prices, which accounts for both transitory spikes and temperature effects. The model allows for different rates of mean-reversion: One for weather events, one around price jumps, and another for the remainder of the process. We estimate the...
