This paper estimates response surface coefficients for a large range of quantiles of the cross-sectionally augmented IPS (CIPS) test of Pesaran (<CitationRef CitationID="CR13">2007</CitationRef>), for different specifications of the deterministic components. An Excel programme is available to calculate the P value associated with a CIPS...</citationref>

We investigate the effects of outliers on the KPSS tests. We find that for nonstationary series outliers induce spurious stationarity by lowering the power of these tests. The empirical size of these tests is also found to be sensitive to the location of the outlier. Copyright Springer...

Prior research (Belsley, 1997) has established that the common tests for single orders of serial correlation (e.g., Durbin–Watson, artificial regression) are badly distorted and result in grossly misleading tests in small samples. A corrected t-statistic has been derived that removes these...

The power of the recently proposed Escribano–Pfann (1998) model of asymmetry is examined via Monte Carlo simulation. As found previously for an alternative asymmetric model, the power of this model is seen to be low.

This paper shows how a high-level matrix programming language may be used to perform Monte Carlo simulation, bootstrapping, estimation by maximum likelihood and GMM, and kernel regression in parallel on symmetric multiprocessor computers or clusters of workstations. The implementation of...
