In this paper, we introduce a new class of bivariate threshold VAR cointegration models. In the models, outside a compact region, the processes are cointegrated, while in the compact region, we allow different kinds of possibilities. We show that the bivariate processes form a 1/2-null recurrent...

This paper considers a nonlinear time series model associated with both nonstationarity and endogeneity. The proposed model is then estimated by a nonparametric series method. An asymptotic theory is established in both point-wise and the space metric sense for the estimator. The Monte Carlo...

This paper discusses nonparametric series estimation of integrable cointegration models using Hermite functions. We establish the uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the series estimator. The Monte Carlo simulation results show that the performance of the estimator is numerically...

The 2011 Clean Energy Act sought to align Australia’s carbon pricing to the 2005 European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) by 2015, but this act was repealed in 2014. We estimate the hypothetical impact of Australia adopting an emissions trading policy in 2005, which corresponds with the...
