We consider a lag-augmented two- or three-stage least-squares estimator for a structural dynamic model of non-stationary and possibly cointegrated variables without the prior knowledge of unit roots or rank of cointegration. We show that the conventional two-and three-stage least-squares...

This paper deals with censored or truncated regression models where the explanatory variables are measured with additive errors. We propose a two-stage estimation procedure that combines the instrumental variable method and the minimum distance estimation. This approach produces consistent and...

In this paper, we consider a specification testing problem in nonlinear time series models with nonstationary regressors, and we propose using a nonparametric kernel‐based test statistic. The null asymptotics for the proposed nonparametric test statistic have been well developed in the...

The application of a partially linear model to global and hemispheric temperature series is proposed. Partially linear modelling allows the trend to take a very general form rather than imposing the restriction of linearity seen in existing studies. The removal of the linearity restriction is...
