This study assess the nonlinear behavior of U.K. Construction and Real Estate indices. Standard unit root tests show that both time series are I(1) processes. However, the empirical results show that the returns series for both indices deviate from the null hypothesis of white noise. Moreover,...

This paper reconsiders the nonlinearity test proposed by Koc-super-˘enda (Koc-super-˘enda, E. (2001). An alternative to the BDS test: integration across the correlation integral. Econometric Reviews20:337-351). When the analyzed series is non-Gaussian, the empirical rejection rates can be much...
