The huge theoretical and empirical econometric literatures on long memory and on structural change have evolved largely independently, as the phenomena appear distinct. We argue, in contrast, that they are intimately related. In particular, we show analytically that stochastic regime switching...

In my dissertation, I consider hypothesis testing with nuisance parameters identified only under the alternative hypothesis in the time series environment. The first chapter proposes tests for cointegrating rank that have power against the trend-break alternative. The conventional testing...

It is standard in applied work to select forecasting models by ranking candidate models by their prediction mean squared error (PMSE) in simulated out-of-sample (SOOS) forecasts. Alternatively, forecast models may be selected using information criteria (IC). We compare the asymptotic and...

Hall et al. (2007) propose a method for moment selection based on an information criterion that is a function of the entropy of the limiting distribution of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. They establish the consistency of the method subject to certain conditions that include...

One of the leading methods of estimating the structural parameters of DSGE mod- els is the VAR-based impulse response matching estimator. The existing asympotic theory for this estimator does not cover situations in which the number of impulse response parameters exceeds the number of VAR model...

This paper examines how and to what extent parameter estimates can be biased in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model that omits the zero lower bound (ZLB) constraint on the nominal interest rate. Our Monte Carlo experiments using a standard sticky-price DSGE model show that no...
