This paper proposes an automatic procedure to identify threshold autoregressive models and specify the values of thresholds. The proposed procedure is based on the time-varying estimation of the parameters using an arranged autoregression. The proposed method not only allows for the automatic...

This paper proposes an automatic procedure to identify Threshold Autoregressive models and specify the threshold values. The proposed procedure is based on recursive estimation of arranged autoregression. The main advantage of the proposed procedure over its competitors is that the threshold...

The evolution of real estate prices and the stock market indices in several OECD countries, such as the UK, has attracted researchers' interest to the empirical analysis of consumers' response to subsequent changes in wealth. In this line, this paper investigates the existence of wealth effects...
