We introduce a new time-varying parameter spatial matrix autoregressive model that integrates matrix-valued time series, heterogeneous spillover effects, outlier robustness, and time-varying parameters in one unified framework. The model allows for separate dynamic spatial spillover effects...

This note puts forward a new modelling approach that includes both fractional integration and autoregressive processes in a unified framework. The proposed model is very general and includes other more standard approaches such as the AR(F)IMA models. Some Monte Carlo evidence shows that the...

The presence of autocorrelated financial returns has major implications for investment decisions. Unsurprisingly, therefore, numerous studies have sought to shed light on whether returns are autocorrelated or not, to what extent, and when. Standard tests for autocorrelation rely on the...

A unified theory of estimation and inference is developed for an autoregressive process with root in (-∞, ∞) that includes the stationary, local-to-unity, explosive and all intermediate regions. The discontinuity of the limit distribution of the t-statistic outside the stationary region and...
