Utilizing re-sampling. Methods, we present evidence on the rejection probabilities for difference-stationary and trend-stationary models for Mexico’s real and real per-capita annual gross domestic product. The trend stationary alternative allows for stationary fluctuations around a long-run...

This paper analyzes whether the real exchange-rate of the Mexican peso/US dollar revert to a long-run equilibrium value, and whether this value is unique. We use a method for testing stationarity, that allows for an unknown number of structural breaks in the level of the series. Using a long...

This paper extends Gonzalo and Lee's (1998) results by studying the asymptotic and finite sample behavior of the Engle-Granger test for cointegration, under misspecification of the trend function in the form of neglected structural breaks. We allow breaks in level and slope of trend in both...
