In this note I show that the method proposed in Thomakos (2008) for optimal linear filtering, smoothing and trend extraction for a unit root process can be applied with no changes when a drift parameter is added to the process. The method in the aforementioned paper is based on Singular Spectrum...

This manual describes the usage of the accompanying freely available Matlab program for estimation and testing in the fractionally cointegrated vector autoregressive (FCVAR) model. This program replaces an earlier Matlab program by Nielsen and Morin (2014), and although the present Matlab...

This paper studies the robust estimation and inference of threshold models with integrated regres- sors. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the profiled least squares (LS) estimator under the diminishing threshold effect assumption that the size of the threshold effect converges to zero....

A limit theory is developed for multivariate regression in an explosive cointegrated system. The asymptotic behavior of the least squares estimator of the cointegrating coefficients is found to depend upon the precise relationship between the explosive regressors. When the eigenvalues of the...

The ``REtrieval from MIxed Sampling'' (REMIS) approach based on blocking developed in Anderson et al. (2016) is concerned with retrieving an underlying high frequency model from mixed frequency observations. In this paper we investigate parameter-identifiability in the Johansen (1995) vector...
