This paper develops parameter instability and structural change tests within predictive regressions for economic systems governed by persistent vector autoregressive dynamics. Specifically, in a setting where all – or a subset – of the variables may be fractionally integrated and the...

This paper studies the problem of estimation and inference in cointegrated regression models with multiple structural changes. Our framework is general enough to incorporate both stationary and integrated regressors. Both pure and partial structural change models are analyzed. We derive the...

This paper considers issues related to testing for multiple structural changes in cointegrated systems. We derive the limiting distribution of the Sup-Wald test under mild conditions on the errors and regressors for a variety of testing problems. Our asymptotic results show that as long as the...

We analyze di¤erent residual-based tests for the null of no cointegration using GLS detrended data. We …nd and simulate the limiting distributions of these statistics when GLS demeaned and GLS detrended data are used. The distributions depend of the number of right-hand side variables, the...
