In this paper, we develop new threshold cointegration tests with SETAR and MTAR adjustment allowing for the presence of structural breaks in the equilibrium equation. We propose a simple procedure to simultaneously estimate the previously unknown breakpoint and test the null hypothesis of no...

Considering structural break autoregressive (SBAR) processes and following recent literature, the problem of estimating the unknown number of change-points is cast as a model selection problem. The adaptive group Lasso is used to select the number of change-points for which parameter estimation...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to model structural change in cointegrating regressions using penalized regression techniques. First, we consider a setting with known breakpoint candidates and show that a modified adaptive lasso estimator can consistently estimate structural breaks in...
