Testing the rank of the Hankel matrix: a statistical approach

Camba-Méndez, Gonzalo; Kapetanios, George - 2001

The rank of the Hankel matrix, corresponding to a system transfer function, is equal to the order of its minimal state space realization. The computation of the rank of the Hankel matrix is complicated by the fact that its block elements are rarely given exactly but are estimated instead. In...

Spectral based methods to identify common trends and common cycles

Camba-Méndez, Gonzalo; Kapetanios, George - 2001

The rank of the spectral density matrix conveys relevant information in a variety of modelling scenarios. Phillips (1986) showed that a necessary condition for cointegration is that the spectral density matrix of the innovation sequence at frequency zero is of a reduced rank. In a recent paper...

Statistical tests and estimators of the rank of a matrix and their applications in econometric modelling

Camba-Méndez, Gonzalo; Kapetanios, George - 2008

Testing and estimating the rank of a matrix of estimated parameters is key in a large variety of econometric modelling scenarios. This paper describes general methods to test for and estimate the rank of a matrix, and provides details on a variety of modelling scenarios in the econometrics...

In-sample or out-of-sample tests of predictability: which one should we use?

Inoue, Atsushi; Kilian, Lutz - 2002

It is widely known that significant in-sample evidence of predictability does not garantuee significant out-of-sample predictability. This is often interpreted as an indiciation that in-sample evidence is likely to be spurious and should be discounted. In this paper we question this conventional...

Inflation persistence in the European Union, the euro area, and the United States

Gadzinski, Gregory; Orlandi, Fabrice - 2004

In this paper we report results on inflation persistence using 79 inflation series covering the EU countries, the euro area and the US for five different inflation variables. The picture that emerges is one of moderate inflation persistence across the board. In particular we find euro area...

Break in the mean and persistence of inflation: a sectoral analysis of French CPI

Bilke, Laurent - 2005

This paper uses disaggregated CPI time series to show that a break in the mean of French inflation occurred in the mid-eighties and that the 1983 monetary policy shift mostly accounted for it. CPI average yearly growth declined from nearly 11% before the break date (May 1985) to 2.1% after. No...

Inflation convergence and divergence within the European Monetary Union

Busetti, Fabio; Forni, Lorenzo; Harvey, Andrew; … - 2006

We study the convergence properties of inflation rates among the countries of the European Monetary Union over the period 1980-2004. Given the Maastricht agreements and the adoption of the single currency, the sample can be naturally split into two parts, before and after the birth of the euro....

Cointegration in panel data with breaks and cross-section dependence

Banerjee, Anindya; Carrion-i-Silvestre, Josep Lluís - 2006

The power of standard panel cointegration statistics may be affected by misspecification errors if proper account is not taken of the presence of structural breaks in the data. We propose modifications to allow for one structural break when testing the null hypothesis of no cointegration that...

Dealing with endogeneity in threshold models using copulas: An illustration to the foreign trade multiplier

Christopulos, Dimitris K.; Tzavalis, Elias; McAdam, Peter - 2018

We suggest a new method dealing with the problem of endogeneity of the threshold variable in single regression … parameters of the model adjusted for the endogeneity of the threshold variable, we suggest a two-step concentrated least squares … indicates that the suggested method deals with the endogeneity problem of the threshold variable satisfactorily. As an empirical …
