We propose bootstrap methods to approximate the distributions of test statistics for multiple structural breaks. The major advantage of these methods is that they allow freeing us from the constraints imposed by the asymptotic theory on parameters of the model. We also find that the asymptotic...

This note proves analytically and shows by a Monte Carlo analysis the spuriousness that arises by some model selection criteria when selecting the number of breaks in stationary AR(p) process without changes for a regression with mean-shifts. This brings a theoretical support to the Perron's...

This paper studies the Mexican stock market integration process. First, we estimate the time-varying Mexican degree of market integration using an international CAPM with segmentation effects. Second, we study the structural breaks in this series. Finally, we relate the obtained results to...

The aim of the paper is to consider the problem of selecting the number of breaks in the mean of a time series. Indeed, we prove analytically and show by a Monte Carlo study that some model selection criteria will tend to choose a spuriously high number of structural breaks when the process is...

In this paper, we revisit the Taylor (2000) proposition for some developing countries in order to examine the decline in their pass-through coefficients, and to find possible explanations for this. Our work is motivated by the fact that during the 1990s, some developing countries shifted their...
