We propose a family of self-normalized CUSUM tests for structural change under long memory. The test statistics apply non-parametric kernel-based fixed-b and fixed-m long-run variance estimators and have well-defined limiting distributions that only depend on the long-memory parameter. A Monte...

In regression discontinuity design (RD), researchers use bandwidths around the discontinuity. For a given bandwidth, one can estimate asymptotic variance based on the assumption that the bandwidth shrinks to zero as sample size increases (the traditional approach) or, alternatively, that the...

This paper provides a new approach to testing cointegration parameters in a single-equation cointegration environment. The novelty is in improving over the well-known heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) robust standard errors using fixed bandwidth (fixed-b) asymptotic theory...
